Running A N1QL Query on the Couchbase Server Cluster

N1QL is the SQL based query language for Couchbase Server. Simply switch to the Query tab on the Web Console at http://localhost:8091 and run the following N1QL Query in the query window:

SELECT name FROM `beer-sample` WHERE brewery_id="mishawaka_brewing";

You can also execute N1QL queries from the command line.

$ docker exec -it db cbq --user Administrator
cbq> SELECT name FROM `beer-sample` WHERE brewery_id ="mishawaka_brewing";
