# PlanetScale CLI commands: keyspace

## Getting started

Make sure to first [set up your PlanetScale developer environment](/cli/planetscale-environment-setup). Once you've installed the `pscale` CLI, you can interact with PlanetScale and manage your databases straight from the command line.

## The `keyspace` command

This command allows you to view your keyspaces and view or update your Vitess VSchemas. This command is not available for Postgres databases.

**Usage:**

```bash theme={null}
pscale keyspace <SUB-COMMAND> <FLAG>
```
