    Directory

    For convenience, YDB supports creating directories similar to a filesystem, meaning the entire database consists of a directory tree, and scheme objects, such as tables, are located in the leaves of this tree. A directory can host multiple subdirectories and several scheme objects. The names of scheme objects within a single directory are unique.
