# odbc {#table-functions-odbc}
|
|
|
|
Returns table that is connected via [ODBC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Database_Connectivity).
|
|
|
|
``` sql
|
|
odbc(connection_settings, external_database, external_table)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Parameters:
|
|
|
|
- `connection_settings` — Name of the section with connection settings in the `odbc.ini` file.
|
|
- `external_database` — Name of a database in an external DBMS.
|
|
- `external_table` — Name of a table in the `external_database`.
|
|
|
|
To safely implement ODBC connections, ClickHouse uses a separate program `clickhouse-odbc-bridge`. If the ODBC driver is loaded directly from `clickhouse-server`, driver problems can crash the ClickHouse server. ClickHouse automatically starts `clickhouse-odbc-bridge` when it is required. The ODBC bridge program is installed from the same package as the `clickhouse-server`.
|
|
|
|
The fields with the `NULL` values from the external table are converted into the default values for the base data type. For example, if a remote MySQL table field has the `INT NULL` type it is converted to 0 (the default value for ClickHouse `Int32` data type).
|
|
|
|
## Usage Example {#usage-example}
|
|
|
|
**Getting data from the local MySQL installation via ODBC**
|
|
|
|
This example is checked for Ubuntu Linux 18.04 and MySQL server 5.7.
|
|
|
|
Ensure that unixODBC and MySQL Connector are installed.
|
|
|
|
By default (if installed from packages), ClickHouse starts as user `clickhouse`. Thus you need to create and configure this user in the MySQL server.
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
$ sudo mysql
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
``` sql
|
|
mysql> CREATE USER 'clickhouse'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'clickhouse';
|
|
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'clickhouse'@'clickhouse' WITH GRANT OPTION;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then configure the connection in `/etc/odbc.ini`.
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
$ cat /etc/odbc.ini
|
|
[mysqlconn]
|
|
DRIVER = /usr/local/lib/libmyodbc5w.so
|
|
SERVER = 127.0.0.1
|
|
PORT = 3306
|
|
DATABASE = test
|
|
USERNAME = clickhouse
|
|
PASSWORD = clickhouse
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can check the connection using the `isql` utility from the unixODBC installation.
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
$ isql -v mysqlconn
|
|
+-------------------------+
|
|
| Connected! |
|
|
| |
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Table in MySQL:
|
|
|
|
``` text
|
|
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)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Retrieving data from the MySQL table in ClickHouse:
|
|
|
|
``` sql
|
|
SELECT * FROM odbc('DSN=mysqlconn', 'test', 'test')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
``` text
|
|
┌─int_id─┬─int_nullable─┬─float─┬─float_nullable─┐
|
|
│ 1 │ 0 │ 2 │ 0 │
|
|
└────────┴──────────────┴───────┴────────────────┘
|
|
```
