kwil-cli database call

Call a 'view' action, returning the result.

Synopsis

Call a view action, returning the result.

view actions are read-only actions that do not require gas to execute. They are the primary way to query the state of a database. The call command is used to call a view action on a database. It takes the action name as a required flag, and the action inputs as arguments.

To specify an action input, you first need to specify the input name, then the input value, delimited by a colon. For example, for action get_user($username), you would specify the action as follows:

username:satoshi --action=get_user

You can either specify the database to execute this against with the --name and --owner flags, or you can specify the database by passing the database id with the --dbid flag. If a --name flag is passed and no --owner flag is passed, the owner will be inferred from your configured wallet.

If you are interacting with a Kwil gateway, you can also pass the --authenticate flag to authenticate the call with your private key.
