Usage Guide
Connect to ByteHouse
1. Connect with Username and Password.
To connect to the ByteHouse, you need to specify the ByteHouse gateway URL with your account and user information. You
can visit ByteHouse China (for China-mainland) or Bytehouse Global (for
non-China-mainland) to register account.
The below login parameters is the same as if you were to login using the web console:
- Account Name
- Region
- User Name
- Password
db, err := sql.Open("bytehouse", "tcp://?region=<region>&account=<account>&user=<user>&password=<password>")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
return
}
defer db.Close()
2. Connect with Access Key ID/ Secret Access Key (AK/SK)
- For ByteHouse Global/China version, users can create and download credentials from console
- For ByteHouse Volcano Cloud Version, users need to create and download credentials from Volcano Cloud's Key Management page
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"github.com/bytehouse-cloud/driver-go/sdk"
)
func main() {
dsn := fmt.Sprintf("tcp://?region=cn-beijing&volcano=true&access_key=%v&secret_key=%v",
"<your ak>",
"<your sk>",
)
g, err := sdk.Open(context.Background(), dsn)
if err != nil{
panic(err)
}
if err := g.Ping(); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
res, err := g.Query("select 1, 2, 3")
for {
row, ok := res.NextRow()
if !ok {
break
}
fmt.Println(row)
}
}
DDL
All DDL queries should be done with db.ExecContext
package main
import (
"context"
"database/sql"
"fmt"
)
func main() {
db, err := sql.Open("bytehouse", "tcp://?region=<region>&account=<account>&user=<user>&password=<password>")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
return
}
defer db.Close()
ctx := context.Background()
// Note first return value is sql.Result, which can be discarded since it is not implemented in the driver
if _, err = db.ExecContext(ctx,
`CREATE TABLE sample_table
(
dog UInt8,
cat UInt8
)
ENGINE=MergeTree ORDER BY dog`,
); err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
return
}
}
Data Insertion
You can specify the columns to be inserted, if no column is specified, all columns will be chosen
- with select columns
INSERT INTO sample_table (col1, col2) VALUES
- without selected columns
INSERT INTO sample_table VALUES
Single Row
package main
import (
"context"
"database/sql"
"fmt"
_ "github.com/bytehouse-cloud/driver-go/sql"
)
func main() {
db, err := sql.Open("bytehouse", "tcp://?region=<region>&account=<account>&user=<user>&password=<password>")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
return
}
defer db.Close()
ctx := context.Background()
// Note first return value is sql.Result, which can be discarded since it is not implemented in the driver
if _, err := db.ExecContext(ctx, "INSERT INTO sample_table (col1, col2) VALUES", 1, 2); err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
}
}
Batch insertion
package main
import (
"context"
"database/sql"
"fmt"
"github.com/bytehouse-cloud/driver-go"
"github.com/bytehouse-cloud/driver-go/sdk"
sql2 "github.com/bytehouse-cloud/driver-go/sql"
)
func main() {
db, err := sql.Open("bytehouse", "tcp://?region=<region>&account=<account>&user=<user>&password=<password>")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
return
}
defer db.Close()
// set the insert block size if needed
ctx := bytehouse.NewQueryContext(context.Background())
batchSize := 1000
if err != ctx.AddByteHouseSetting(bytehouse.InsertBlockSize, batchSize) {
panic(err)
}
if err = sql2.RunConn(ctx, db, func(conn sdk.Conn) error {
stmt, err := conn.PrepareContext(ctx, "INSERT INTO sample_table VALUES (?, ?)")
if err != nil {
return err
}
for i := 0; i < 1e7; i++ {
if err := stmt.ExecContext(ctx, 1, 2); err != nil {
return err
}
}
return stmt.Close() // Remember to close the stmt! This step is a must for the query to go through!
}); err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
}
}
Insert from select
You can insert from SELECT statements. Output from select statement with be inserted into your table
package main
import (
"context"
"database/sql"
"fmt"
_ "github.com/bytehouse-cloud/driver-go/sql"
)
func main() {
db, err := sql.Open("bytehouse", "tcp://?region=<region>&account=<account>&user=<user>&password=<password>")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
return
}
defer db.Close()
ctx := context.Background()
// Note first return value is sql.Result, which can be discarded since it is not implemented in the driver
if _, err := db.ExecContext(ctx, "INSERT INTO sample_table SELECT * FROM sample_table"); err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
}
}
Insertion from local file
CSV
Following shows how it can be done with csv file format
package main
import (
"context"
"database/sql"
"fmt"
"os"
"github.com/bytehouse-cloud/driver-go/sdk"
_ "github.com/bytehouse-cloud/driver-go/sql"
driverSql "github.com/bytehouse-cloud/driver-go/sql"
)
func main() {
db, err := sql.Open("bytehouse", "tcp://?region=<region>&account=<account>&user=<user>&password=<password>")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
return
}
defer db.Close()
ctx := context.Background()
file, err := os.Open("./testdata/insert.csv") // path to your .csv file
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
return
}
defer file.Close()
if err = driverSql.RunConn(ctx, db, func(conn sdk.Conn) error {
return conn.InsertFromReader(ctx, "INSERT INTO sample_table FORMAT CSV", file, nil)
}); err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
}
}
Example CSV Format
Format should not have headers
1,2
1,2
Using custom delimiter for your csv file rather than default ,
Add to query setting map your custom delimiter The setting name is format_csv_delimiter
package main
import (
"context"
"database/sql"
"fmt"
"os"
"github.com/bytehouse-cloud/driver-go/sdk"
_ "github.com/bytehouse-cloud/driver-go/sql"
driverSql "github.com/bytehouse-cloud/driver-go/sql"
)
func main() {
db, err := sql.Open("bytehouse", "tcp://?region=<region>&account=<account>&user=<user>&password=<password>")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
return
}
defer db.Close()
ctx := context.Background()
file, err := os.Open("./testdata/insert_with_pipes.csv")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
return
}
defer file.Close()
if err = driverSql.RunConn(ctx, db, func(conn sdk.Conn) error {
return conn.InsertFromReader(ctx, "INSERT INTO sample_table FORMAT CSV", file, map[string]string{
"format_csv_delimiter": "|",
})
}); err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
}
}
CSVWithNames
Use format if your csv file has column headers. Note that this options simply skip the first line of your CSV We do not
read your CSV column headers and match them to the corresponding row You have to make sure that your CSV column ordering
is the same as that defined in your table
package main
import (
"context"
"database/sql"
"fmt"
"os"
"github.com/bytehouse-cloud/driver-go/sdk"
_ "github.com/bytehouse-cloud/driver-go/sql"
driverSql "github.com/bytehouse-cloud/driver-go/sql"
)
func main() {
db, err := sql.Open("bytehouse", "tcp://?region=<region>&account=<account>&user=<user>&password=<password>")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
return
}
defer db.Close()
ctx := context.Background()
file, err := os.Open("./testdata/insert_with_names.csv")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
return
}
defer file.Close()
if err = driverSql.RunConn(ctx, db, func(conn sdk.Conn) error {
return conn.InsertFromReader(ctx, "INSERT INTO sample_table FORMAT CSVWithNames", file, map[string]string{})
}); err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
}
}
Example CSVWithNames Format
- Note: contents of the first line doesn't matter as it will be skipped
a, b
1, 2
1, 2
JSON
package main
import (
"context"
"database/sql"
"fmt"
"os"
"github.com/bytehouse-cloud/driver-go/sdk"
_ "github.com/bytehouse-cloud/driver-go/sql"
driverSql "github.com/bytehouse-cloud/driver-go/sql"
)
func main() {
db, err := sql.Open("bytehouse", "tcp://?region=<region>&account=<account>&user=<user>&password=<password>")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
return
}
defer db.Close()
ctx := context.Background()
file, err := os.Open("insert.json")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
return
}
defer file.Close()
if err = driverSql.RunConn(ctx, db, func(conn sdk.Conn) error {
return conn.InsertFromReader(ctx, "INSERT INTO sample_table FORMAT JSON", file, map[string]string{})
}); err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
}
}
Example JSON Format
- JSON field name must match with your clickhouse table field name
- Example: for data below your table should be of this structure
a Int, b Int
{
"data": [
{
"a": 1,
"b": 2
},
{
"a": 1,
"b": 2
}
]
}
Select
To Golang struct
package main
import (
"context"
"database/sql"
"fmt"
_ "github.com/bytehouse-cloud/driver-go/sql"
)
func main() {
db, err := sql.Open("bytehouse", "tcp://?region=<region>&account=<account>&user=<user>&password=<password>")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
return
}
defer db.Close()
// Use your own types here depending on your table
type sample struct {
cat int
dog int
}
ctx := context.Background()
rows, err := db.QueryContext(ctx, "SELECT * FROM sample_table LIMIT 5")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
return
}
out := make([]sample, 5)
i := 0
for rows.Next() {
if err := rows.Scan(&out[i].dog, &out[i].cat); err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
}
i++
}
fmt.Println(out)
// Remember to close your rows when you are done! This is a must!
if err := rows.Close(); err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
}
}
Single Row
If you are selecting just a single row, you can use db.QueryRowContext which is much more convenient!
Make sure that your query only returns one row!
package main
import (
"context"
"database/sql"
"fmt"
_ "github.com/bytehouse-cloud/driver-go/sql"
)
func main() {
db, err := sql.Open("bytehouse", "tcp://?region=<region>&account=<account>&user=<user>&password=<password>")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
return
}
defer db.Close()
// Use your own types here depending on your table value
type sample struct {
dog int
cat int
}
sampleData := &sample{}
ctx := context.Background()
row := db.QueryRowContext(ctx, "SELECT * FROM sample_table LIMIT 1")
if err := row.Scan(&sampleData.dog, &sampleData.dog); err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error = %v", err)
return
}
fmt.Printf("%+v\n", sampleData)
}
To local file
