# Parables

> Materialized Plot results live at parables.{parable}.{plot}.

The **parables** pool holds materialized Plot results. A Parable is a
named collection of Plots. A Plot is stored SQL that runs on a schedule
(or on demand) and writes a table.

A Plot can call [AI](/data/ai) functions (`ponder()`, `embed()`). A Plot
that selects `embed(...)` materializes those vectors on the Plot table.

```sql theme={null}
SELECT *
FROM parables.spend.tool_costs
LIMIT 10
```

Declared Plots register even before the first successful run. An empty
result is a table with a schema and no rows, not a missing table.
