-**A query runs inside one instant database** (current database or `--database`); with none set it fails *"a database is required."* The scope sees the database's own catalog **plus whatever is attached to it only**. To read another database's tables or join across databases, attach it first — see [Querying across databases (attach)](#querying-across-databases-attach).

- Use `hotdata databases tables list` and `hotdata databases tables show` for discovery — not `information_schema` via `query`. (Discovery lists every workspace table; queryability still requires the table's catalog to be in the current database's scope.)

-**PostgreSQL dialect.** Quote non-lowercase columns with double quotes. To write DuckDB/Postgres/Snowflake SQL instead, pass `--dialect` (server-side transpile; writes follow the same rules as `hotsql`) — details in **`hotdata-analytics`**.

-
- **SQL writes.** `query` runs `INSERT INTO t [(cols)] VALUES …|SELECT …` (append only), `CREATE TABLE t (col TYPE, …)`, `CREATE TABLE t AS SELECT …`, and `DROP TABLE [IF EXISTS] t` against the **current database's own tables**; attached databases stay read-only. The API key needs the `write` permission. The result is one row, `rows_affected`. Each `INSERT` is a full publish (write lock, new generation, index maintenance), so **batch rows into one statement** and use `hotdata load` for anything of size. Refused: `UPDATE`/`DELETE` (*"not supported yet"* — use `hotdata load --mode update|delete|upsert` by key), `INSERT OVERWRITE`/`OR REPLACE`/`ON CONFLICT`/`RETURNING`, column constraints on `CREATE TABLE` (`NOT NULL`, `DEFAULT`, `PRIMARY KEY`, `UNIQUE` — every column is nullable), `ALTER`, views, `COPY`, transactions. A table with a vector index must be inserted into with a column list that omits the generated embedding column. Table layout (`--key`, partition, sort) is declared with `databases tables add`, not in SQL.

- Async runs return `query_run_id` → poll with `query status <id>` (do not re-run the same heavy SQL). `query status` exit codes: `0` succeeded, `1` failed, `2` still running (poll again), `3` succeeded but the result is a truncated/incomplete preview.

-**Large results: `-o csv` / `-o json` are complete, `-o table` is capped.** The server returns inline rows only up to a bounded cap and persists the full set under a `result_id`. For `csv` and `json` the CLI **streams** that full result batch by batch, so output size is unbounded and memory stays flat — pipe a big result to a file with `-o csv`/`-o json`, never `table`. For `table` the CLI fetches at most **10,000 rows** and the footer says `N of TOTAL rows — INCOMPLETE PREVIEW` (with `?` when the server sent no total); the process exits **3** so a pipeline cannot mistake it for the whole set. Same rules for `hotdata databases results get`. A result the server is still writing is waited for (up to 5 minutes, honoring `Retry-After`) rather than returned partial. If the full result can't be retrieved, the CLI prints the inline preview, a `warning:` to stderr, and exits 3. `-o json` carries `row_count`, `total_row_count`, and `truncated` — branch on `truncated`, not on the row count.

-**Numbers print exactly.** A `DECIMAL(38,2)` or other wide number is printed with every digit the service sent, in every output format; `-o json` emits it as an unquoted JSON number. One consequence: a list or struct cell prints on a single line in `-o json` (re-indenting would mean re-parsing and rounding it); scalars are unaffected.
-**`--dialect`** (default `hotsql`): write SQL in `duckdb`/`postgres`/`snowflake` and the server transpiles it to HotSQL before running (e.g. Snowflake `IFF(...)`, DuckDB `len(...)`). Writes follow the same rules as `hotsql`.

-**Writes:**`INSERT` (append only), `CREATE TABLE`, `CREATE TABLE AS SELECT`, and `DROP TABLE` run through `query` against the current database's own tables and return one row, `rows_affected`; `UPDATE`/`DELETE` are not supported in SQL yet (use keyed `hotdata load --mode update|delete|upsert`). Rules and refusals in the **`hotdata`** skill → Execute SQL Query.

- Use **`hotdata databases tables list`** for schema discovery — not `information_schema` via `query`.
-**Query scope:** every query runs inside one instant database (active or `--database`); it sees that database's own catalog plus whatever is **attached** to it only. To read another database's table, or **join your own table against one**, attach that database first: `hotdata databases attach <database>` — see **`hotdata`** skill → [Querying across databases](../../SKILL.md#querying-across-databases-attach). No instant database set → *"a database is required."*
