Query your Vault content

You can query your vault content using SQLSeal built-in tables files, tags, tasks and links. You can use them to query specific files in the fault based on Properties (Frontmatter) and associated tags.

Example: Get all files from the vault

To get all files from the fault you can run the following query:

SELECT * FROM files

Filter by Properties

If your files have frontmatter properties, you can query by them using SQL WHERE clause. SQLSeal automatically maintains SQL schema and creates columns when needed. Let's assume we have files with property type. We can query only specific notes by running the following:

SELECT * FROM files WHERE type = 'resource'

The query above will return only files that have property type set to value resource.

Filter by Tags

Tags are kept in a separate table tags. To select all files that have specific tag, we can perform simple join.

SELECT files.* FROM files JOIN tags ON files.path=tags.path WHERE tag = '#important'
