An Apache Phoenix/Avatica driver for Go's database/sql package
Install using the go tool or your dependency management tool:
$ go get github.com/Boostport/avatica
The Phoenix/Avatica driver implements Go's database/sql/driver interface, so, import Go's
database/sql package and the driver:
import "database/sql"
import _ "github.com/Boostport/avatica"
db, err := sql.Open("avatica", "http://localhost:8765")
Then simply use the database connection to query some data, for example:
rows := db.Query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM test")
The DSN has the following format (optional parts are marked by square brackets):
http://address:ports[?parameter1=value&...parameterN=value]
In other words, the scheme (http), address and port is mandatory, but the parameters are optional.
The following parameters are supported:
The location will be set as the location of unserialized time.Time values. It must be a valid timezone.
If you want to use the local timezone, use Local. By default, this is set to UTC.
The maxRowCount sets the number of rows to fetch from the avatica server. Setting a high number causes avatica
to return a large number of rows and setting a low number will cause avatica to return a small amount of rows
and fetch more from the server if required. By default, this is set to 100.
The following Phoenix/Avatica datatypes are automatically converted to and from time.Time:
TIME, DATE and TIMESTAMP.
It is important to understand that avatica and the underlying database ignores the timezone. If you save a time.Time
to the database, the timezone is ignored and vice-versa. This is why you need to make sure the location parameter
in your DSN is set to the same value as the location of the time.Time values you are inserting into the database.
We recommend using UTC, which is the default value of location.
To run tests, but skip tests in the vendor directory, run:
go test $(go list ./... | grep -v /vendor/)
The driver is not feature-complete yet, so contributions are very appreciated.
To update the procotol buffer definitions, update CALCITE_VER in gen-protobuf.bat and gen-protobuf.sh to match
the version included by Phoenix and then run the appropriate script for your platform.
The moby.yml file is used by our internal tool to automatically reload and test the code during development. We hope to have this tool open-sourced soon.
