# clickhouse-local {#clickhouse-local}
|
||
|
||
The `clickhouse-local` program enables you to perform fast processing on local files, without having to deploy and configure the ClickHouse server.
|
||
|
||
Accepts data that represent tables and queries them using [ClickHouse SQL dialect](../../sql-reference/index.md).
|
||
|
||
`clickhouse-local` uses the same core as ClickHouse server, so it supports most of the features and the same set of formats and table engines.
|
||
|
||
By default `clickhouse-local` does not have access to data on the same host, but it supports loading server configuration using `--config-file` argument.
|
||
|
||
!!! warning "Warning"
|
||
It is not recommended to load production server configuration into `clickhouse-local` because data can be damaged in case of human error.
|
||
|
||
For temporary data, a unique temporary data directory is created by default. If you want to override this behavior, the data directory can be explicitly specified with the `-- --path` option.
|
||
|
||
## Usage {#usage}
|
||
|
||
Basic usage:
|
||
|
||
``` bash
|
||
$ clickhouse-local --structure "table_structure" --input-format "format_of_incoming_data" \
|
||
--query "query"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Arguments:
|
||
|
||
- `-S`, `--structure` — table structure for input data.
|
||
- `-if`, `--input-format` — input format, `TSV` by default.
|
||
- `-f`, `--file` — path to data, `stdin` by default.
|
||
- `-q` `--query` — queries to execute with `;` as delimeter. You must specify either `query` or `queries-file` option.
|
||
- `-qf` `--queries-file` - file path with queries to execute. You must specify either `query` or `queries-file` option.
|
||
- `-N`, `--table` — table name where to put output data, `table` by default.
|
||
- `-of`, `--format`, `--output-format` — output format, `TSV` by default.
|
||
- `--stacktrace` — whether to dump debug output in case of exception.
|
||
- `--verbose` — more details on query execution.
|
||
- `-s` — disables `stderr` logging.
|
||
- `--config-file` — path to configuration file in same format as for ClickHouse server, by default the configuration empty.
|
||
- `--help` — arguments references for `clickhouse-local`.
|
||
|
||
Also there are arguments for each ClickHouse configuration variable which are more commonly used instead of `--config-file`.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Examples {#examples}
|
||
|
||
``` bash
|
||
$ echo -e "1,2\n3,4" | clickhouse-local --structure "a Int64, b Int64" \
|
||
--input-format "CSV" --query "SELECT * FROM table"
|
||
Read 2 rows, 32.00 B in 0.000 sec., 5182 rows/sec., 80.97 KiB/sec.
|
||
1 2
|
||
3 4
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Previous example is the same as:
|
||
|
||
``` bash
|
||
$ echo -e "1,2\n3,4" | clickhouse-local --query "
|
||
CREATE TABLE table (a Int64, b Int64) ENGINE = File(CSV, stdin);
|
||
SELECT a, b FROM table;
|
||
DROP TABLE table"
|
||
Read 2 rows, 32.00 B in 0.000 sec., 4987 rows/sec., 77.93 KiB/sec.
|
||
1 2
|
||
3 4
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You don't have to use `stdin` or `--file` argument, and can open any number of files using the [`file` table function](../../sql-reference/table-functions/file.md):
|
||
|
||
``` bash
|
||
$ echo 1 | tee 1.tsv
|
||
1
|
||
|
||
$ echo 2 | tee 2.tsv
|
||
2
|
||
|
||
$ clickhouse-local --query "
|
||
select * from file('1.tsv', TSV, 'a int') t1
|
||
cross join file('2.tsv', TSV, 'b int') t2"
|
||
1 2
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Now let’s output memory user for each Unix user:
|
||
|
||
``` bash
|
||
$ ps aux | tail -n +2 | awk '{ printf("%s\t%s\n", $1, $4) }' \
|
||
| clickhouse-local --structure "user String, mem Float64" \
|
||
--query "SELECT user, round(sum(mem), 2) as memTotal
|
||
FROM table GROUP BY user ORDER BY memTotal DESC FORMAT Pretty"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
``` text
|
||
Read 186 rows, 4.15 KiB in 0.035 sec., 5302 rows/sec., 118.34 KiB/sec.
|
||
