sql_raw

Type:

Available in: Cloud, Self-Managed

Executes a select query and creates a message for each row received.

Introduced in version 4.10.0.

# Common configuration fields, showing default values
input:
  label: ""
  sql_raw:
    driver: "" # No default (required)
    dsn: "clickhouse://username:password@host1:9000,host2:9000/database?dial_timeout=200ms&max_execution_time=60" # No default (required)
    query: SELECT * FROM footable WHERE user_id = $1; # No default (required)
    args_mapping: root = [ this.cat.meow, this.doc.woofs[0] ] # No default (optional)
    auto_replay_nacks: true
# All configuration fields, showing default values
input:
  label: ""
  sql_raw:
    driver: "" # No default (required)
    dsn: "clickhouse://username:password@host1:9000,host2:9000/database?dial_timeout=200ms&max_execution_time=60" # No default (required)
    query: SELECT * FROM footable WHERE user_id = $1; # No default (required)
    args_mapping: root = [ this.cat.meow, this.doc.woofs[0] ] # No default (optional)
    auto_replay_nacks: true
    init_files: [] # No default (optional)
    init_statement: | # No default (optional)
      CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS some_table (
        foo varchar(50) not null,
        bar integer,
        baz varchar(50),
        primary key (foo)
      ) WITHOUT ROWID;
    conn_max_idle_time: "" # No default (optional)
    conn_max_life_time: "" # No default (optional)
    conn_max_idle: 2
    conn_max_open: 0 # No default (optional)

Once the rows from the query are exhausted this input shuts down, allowing the pipeline to gracefully terminate (or the next input in a sequence to execute).

Examples

  • Consumes an SQL table using a query as an input.

Here we preform an aggregate over a list of names in a table that are less than 3600 seconds old.

input:
  sql_raw:
    driver: postgres
    dsn: postgres://foouser:foopass@localhost:5432/testdb?sslmode=disable
    query: "SELECT name, count(*) FROM person WHERE last_updated < $1 GROUP BY name;"
    args_mapping: |
      root = [
        now().ts_unix() - 3600
      ]

Fields

driver

A database driver to use.

Type: string

Options: clickhouse , gocosmos , mysql , mssql , oracle , postgres , snowflake , spanner , sqlite , trino

dsn

A Data Source Name to identify the target database.

Drivers

The following is a list of supported drivers, their placeholder style, and their respective DSN formats:

Driver Data Source Name Format

clickhouse

clickhouse://[username[:password]@][netloc][:port]/dbname[?param1=value1&…​&paramN=valueN]

gocosmos

AccountEndpoint=<cosmosdb-endpoint>;AccountKey=<cosmosdb-account-key>[;TimeoutMs=<timeout-in-ms>][;Version=<cosmosdb-api-version>][;DefaultDb/Db=<db-name>][;AutoId=<true/false>][;InsecureSkipVerify=<true/false>]

mssql

sqlserver://[user[:password]@][netloc][:port][?database=dbname&param1=value1&…​]

mysql

[username[:password]@][protocol[(address)]]/dbname[?param1=value1&…​&paramN=valueN]

oracle

oracle://[username[:password]@][netloc][:port]/service_name?server=server2&server=server3

postgres

postgres://[user[:password]@][netloc][:port][/dbname][?param1=value1&…​]

snowflake

username[:password]@account_identifier/dbname/schemaname[?param1=value&…​&paramN=valueN]

spanner

projects/[project]/instances/[instance]/databases/[database]

sqlite

file:/path/to/filename.db[?param&=value1&…​]

trino

http[s]://user[:pass]@host[:port][?parameters]

  • By default, the postgres driver enforces SSL. You can override this with the parameter sslmode=disable.

  • The snowflake driver supports multiple DSN formats. For more details, see the gosnowflake documentation.

    For key pair authentication, the DSN has the following format: <snowflake_user>@<snowflake_account>/<db_name>/<schema_name>?warehouse=<warehouse>&role=<role>&authenticator=snowflake_jwt&privateKey=<base64_url_encoded_private_key>, where the value for the privateKey parameter can be constructed from an unencrypted RSA private key file rsa_key.p8, using openssl enc -d -base64 -in rsa_key.p8 | basenc --base64url -w0. On macOS, if you install coreutils with Homebrew, you can use gbasenc instead of basenc. If you have a password-encrypted private key, you can decrypt it using openssl pkcs8 -in rsa_key_encrypted.p8 -out rsa_key.p8. Also, make sure fields such as the username are URL-encoded.

  • The gocosmos driver is still experimental, but it has support for hierarchical partition keys as well as cross-partition queries. For more details, see SQL notes.

Type: string

# Examples

dsn: "clickhouse://username:password@host1:9000,host2:9000/database?dial_timeout=200ms&max_execution_time=60"

dsn: foouser:foopassword@tcp(localhost:3306)/foodb

dsn: postgres://foouser:foopass@localhost:5432/foodb?sslmode=disable

dsn: oracle://foouser:foopass@localhost:1521/service_name

query

The query to execute. The style of placeholder to use depends on the driver, some drivers require question marks (?) whereas others expect incrementing dollar signs ($1, $2, and so on) or colons (:1, :2 and so on). The style to use is outlined in this table:

Driver Placeholder Style

clickhouse

Dollar sign ($)

gocosmos

Colon (:)

mysql

Question mark (?)

mssql

Question mark (?)

oracle

Colon (:)

postgres

Dollar sign ($)

snowflake

Question mark (?)

spanner

Question mark (?)

sqlite

trino

Question mark (?)

Type: string

# Examples

query: SELECT * FROM footable WHERE user_id = $1;

args_mapping

A Bloblang mapping which should evaluate to an array of values matching in size to the number of columns specified.

Type: string

# Examples

args_mapping: root = [ this.cat.meow, this.doc.woofs[0] ]

args_mapping: root = [ meta("user.id") ]

auto_replay_nacks

Whether messages that are rejected (nacked) at the output level should be automatically replayed indefinitely, eventually resulting in back pressure if the cause of the rejections is persistent. If set to false these messages will instead be deleted. Disabling auto replays can greatly improve memory efficiency of high throughput streams as the original shape of the data can be discarded immediately upon consumption and mutation.

Type: bool

Default: true

init_files

An optional list of file paths containing SQL statements to execute immediately upon the first connection to the target database. This is a useful way to initialise tables before processing data. Glob patterns are supported, including super globs (double star).

Care should be taken to ensure that the statements are idempotent, and therefore would not cause issues when run multiple times after service restarts. If both init_statement and init_files are specified the init_statement is executed after the init_files.

If a statement fails for any reason a warning log will be emitted but the operation of this component will not be stopped.

Type: array

Requires version 4.10.0 or newer

# Examples

init_files:
  - ./init/*.sql

init_files:
  - ./foo.sql
  - ./bar.sql

init_statement

An optional SQL statement to execute immediately upon the first connection to the target database. This is a useful way to initialise tables before processing data. Care should be taken to ensure that the statement is idempotent, and therefore would not cause issues when run multiple times after service restarts.

If both init_statement and init_files are specified the init_statement is executed after the init_files.

If the statement fails for any reason a warning log will be emitted but the operation of this component will not be stopped.

Type: string

Requires version 4.10.0 or newer

# Examples

init_statement: |2
  CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS some_table (
    foo varchar(50) not null,
    bar integer,
    baz varchar(50),
    primary key (foo)
  ) WITHOUT ROWID;

conn_max_idle_time

An optional maximum amount of time a connection may be idle. Expired connections may be closed lazily before reuse. If value ⇐ 0, connections are not closed due to a connections idle time.

Type: string

conn_max_life_time

An optional maximum amount of time a connection may be reused. Expired connections may be closed lazily before reuse. If value ⇐ 0, connections are not closed due to a connections age.

Type: string

conn_max_idle

An optional maximum number of connections in the idle connection pool. If conn_max_open is greater than 0 but less than the new conn_max_idle, then the new conn_max_idle will be reduced to match the conn_max_open limit. If value ⇐ 0, no idle connections are retained. The default max idle connections is currently 2. This may change in a future release.

Type: int

Default: 2

conn_max_open

An optional maximum number of open connections to the database. If conn_max_idle is greater than 0 and the new conn_max_open is less than conn_max_idle, then conn_max_idle will be reduced to match the new conn_max_open limit. If value ⇐ 0, then there is no limit on the number of open connections. The default is 0 (unlimited).

Type: int
