You can do the equivalent of “SELECT *” in RethinkDB by just selecting the table:<\/p>\n

db.table('users')\n<\/pre>\n
Which returns the data:<\/p>\n

If you want to use a WHERE clause, you can provide a JSON payload that matches what you want, or use Javascript.<\/p>\n
The nice thing about this is you can ES6 arrow functions, so the code is fairly concise, for Javascript:<\/p>\n
r.db('test')\n .table('users')\n .filter(\n   (doc) => doc('last_name').eq('sieling') \n  );\n\nr.db('test')\n .table('users')\n .filter({'last_name': 'sieling'})\n<\/pre>\n
The most difficult thing to get used to is that you can’t use “===”, “>=”, etc in your Javascript, since everything is functions.<\/p>\n
