Creating an RDS Table

Create an RDS/DWS table to connect to the source stream.

For more information about RDS, see the Relational Database Service User Guide.

For details about the JOIN syntax, see JOIN.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure that you have created a PostgreSQL or MySQL RDS instance in RDS.

    For details about how to create an RDS instance, see Buying an Instance in the Relational Database Service Getting Started.

  • In this scenario, jobs must run on the dedicated queue of DLI. Therefore, DLI must interconnect with the enhanced datasource connection that has been connected with RDS instance. You can also set the security group rules as required.

    For details about how to create an enhanced datasource connection, see Enhanced Datasource Connections in the Data Lake Insight User Guide.

    For details about how to configure security group rules, see Security Group in the Virtual Private Cloud User Guide.

Keywords

Table 1 Keywords

Parameter

Mandatory

Description

type

Yes

Output channel type. Value rds indicates that data is stored to RDS.

username

Yes

Username for connecting to a database.

password

Yes

Password for connecting to a database.

db_url

Yes

Database connection address, for example, {database_type}://ip:port/database.

Currently, two types of database connections are supported: MySQL and PostgreSQL.

  • MySQL: 'mysql://ip:port/database'
  • PostgreSQL: 'postgresql://ip:port/database'
    NOTE:

    To create a DWS dimension table, set the database connection address to a DWS database address. If the DWS database version is later than 8.1.0, the open-source PostgreSQL driver cannot be used for connection. You need to use the GaussDB driver for connection.

table_name

Yes

Indicates the name of the database table for data query.

db_columns

No

Indicates the mapping of stream attribute fields between the sink stream and database table. This parameter is mandatory when the stream attribute fields in the sink stream do not match those in the database table. The parameter value is in the format of dbtable_attr1,dbtable_attr2,dbtable_attr3.

cache_max_num

No

Indicates the maximum number of cached query results. The default value is 32768.

cache_time

No

Indicates the maximum duration for caching database query results in the memory. The unit is millisecond. The default value is 10000. The value 0 indicates that caching is disabled.

Example

The RDS table is used to connect to the source stream.
