mysql

Allows SELECT queries to be performed on data that is stored on a remote MySQL server.

mysql('host:port', 'database', 'table', 'user', 'password'[, replace_query, 'on_duplicate_clause']);

Parameters

• host:port — MySQL server address.

• database — Remote database name.

• table — Remote table name.

• user — MySQL user.

• password — User password.

• replace_query — Flag that converts INSERT INTO queries to REPLACE INTO. If replace_query=1, the query is replaced.

• on_duplicate_clause — The ON DUPLICATE KEY on_duplicate_clause expression that is added to the INSERT query.

  Example: `INSERT INTO t (c1,c2) VALUES ('a', 2) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE c2 = c2 + 1`, where `on_duplicate_clause` is `UPDATE c2 = c2 + 1`. See the MySQL documentation to find which `on_duplicate_clause` you can use with the `ON DUPLICATE KEY` clause.
  
  To specify `on_duplicate_clause` you need to pass `0` to the `replace_query` parameter. If you simultaneously pass `replace_query = 1` and `on_duplicate_clause`, ClickHouse generates an exception.
  

Simple WHERE clauses such as =, !=, >, >=, <, <= are currently executed on the MySQL server.

The rest of the conditions and the LIMIT sampling constraint are executed in ClickHouse only after the query to MySQL finishes.

Returned Value

A table object with the same columns as the original MySQL table.

Usage Example

Table in MySQL:

mysql> CREATE TABLE `test`.`test` (
    ->   `int_id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    ->   `int_nullable` INT NULL DEFAULT NULL,
    ->   `float` FLOAT NOT NULL,
    ->   `float_nullable` FLOAT NULL DEFAULT NULL,
    ->   PRIMARY KEY (`int_id`));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0,09 sec)

mysql> insert into test (`int_id`, `float`) VALUES (1,2);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0,00 sec)

mysql> select * from test;
+--------+--------------+-------+----------------+
| int_id | int_nullable | float | float_nullable |
+--------+--------------+-------+----------------+
|      1 |         NULL |     2 |           NULL |
+--------+--------------+-------+----------------+
1 row in set (0,00 sec)

Selecting data from ClickHouse:

SELECT * FROM mysql('localhost:3306', 'test', 'test', 'bayonet', '123')
