JDBC Source Table

Function

The JDBC connector is a Flink's built-in connector to read data from a database.

Prerequisites

  • An enhanced datasource connection with the database has been established, so that you can configure security group rules as required.

Syntax

create table jbdcSource (
  attr_name attr_type 
  (',' attr_name attr_type)* 
  (','PRIMARY KEY (attr_name, ...) NOT ENFORCED)
  (',' watermark for rowtime_column_name as watermark-strategy_expression)
)
with (
  'connector.type' = 'jdbc',
  'connector.url' = '',
  'connector.table' = '',
  'connector.username' = '',
  'connector.password' = ''
);
