General Structure

On start-up, the MindsDB project consists of 1 collection: models.

You can verify it by running the following MQL commands:

  1. First, switch to the mindsdb project.

    > use mindsdb
    < 'switched to db mindsdb'
    

    Here is the doc page on the PROJECT entity to learn more.

  2. Then, query for the available collections.

    > show collections
    < models
    

The models Collection
