Table 1 Parameter description

Parameter

Description

DLI_TABLE

Name of the table for which a datasource connection has been created.

DLI_TEST

indicates the table that contains the data to be queried.

field1,field2..., field

Column values in the DLI_TEST table must match the column values and types in the DLI_TABLE table.

where_condition

Query condition.

num

Limit the query result. The num parameter supports only the INT type.

values_row

Value to be inserted to a table. Use commas (,) to separate columns.

Precautions

  • The target table must exist.
  • In the column family created in Creating a Table and Associating It with HBase, if the column family specified by Cols in OPTIONS does not exist, an error is reported when INSERT INTO is executed.
  • If the row key, column family, or column you need to insert to the HBase table already exists, the existing data in HBase table will be overwritten.
  • You are advised not to concurrently insert data into a table. If you concurrently insert data into a table, there is a possibility that conflicts occur, leading to failed data insertion.
  • INSERT OVERWRITE is not supported.

Example

  • Query data in the user table and insert the data into the test table.
