[micabe]

Version Mismatch + Undocumented Bug:

• skytable-py 0.1.3 tested with Skytable 0.8.2
• Currently running Skytable 0.8.4
• SELECT queries are completely broken despite no documented breaking changes

Test Results Breakdown

Operation	Syntax	Result	Details
INSERT	Any	✓ Works (0.000s)	No issues
UPDATE	WHERE clause	✓ Works (0.000s)	No issues
INSPECT	Model	✓ Works (0.000s)	No issues
SELECT ALL	No WHERE	✗ Error 26 (0.000s)	"Unexpected byte"
SELECT	No WHERE	✗ Error 26 (0.000s)	"Unexpected byte"
SELECT	WHERE clause	✗ Timeout (10+s)	Never returns
DELETE	WHERE clause	✗ Timeout (10+s)	Never returns

Key Findings

1. All SELECT queries return error code 26 ("Unexpected byte" / "Illegal character")
2. Parameterized SELECTs with WHERE hang indefinitely
3. INSERT and UPDATE work perfectly - only SELECT is broken
4. This affects both point queries and bulk queries

Conclusion

Skytable 0.8.4 has a critical bug with SELECT query handling via skytable-py that makes the database unusable for read operations. This is either:

• An undocumented breaking change in Skytable 0.8.4
• A regression bug introduced in 0.8.3 or 0.8.4
• A protocol incompatibility with the Python client
