Build Receipt Schema min read


MemSQL is packaged as a compressed tar archive, or tarball, which contains its executable binaries. This tarball also contains metadata about MemSQL in a file named build_receipt.json.

The contents of the memsqlbin_amd64.tar.gz file are extracted to a folder named memsqlbin, and the build_receipt.json file is located in the following path: memsqlbin/utils/build_receipt.json

Example build_receipt.json File

The contents of an example build_receipt.json file are shown below:

{
	"memsql_version_hash": "03e5e3581e96d65caa30756f191323437a3840f0",
