  • commits (hash, author_name, author_email, author_time, comitter_name, comitter_email, comitter_time, message)
  • blobs (hash, size)
  • references (hash, name, is_branch, is_note, is_remote, is_tag, target)

  • tree_entries (tree_hash, entry_hash, mode, name)

  •  SELECT 
  •  WHERE 
  •  ORDER BY  (with  ASC  and  DESC )
  •  LIMIT 
  •  SHOW TABLES 
  •  DESCRIBE TABLE
