Write to Percona

To write data to Percona with Flux:

  1. Import the sql package.

  2. Pipe-forward data into sql.to() and provide the following parameters:

    • driverName: mysql
    • dataSourceName: See data source name
    • table: Table to write to
    • batchSize: Number of parameters or columns that can be queued within each call to Exec (default is 10000)
import "sql"
  
data
    |> sql.to(
        driverName: "mysql",
        dataSourceName: "user:password@tcp(localhost:3306)/db",
        table: "example_table",
    )
  • Copy
  • Fill window

Percona data source name

The mysql driver uses the following data source name (DSN) syntax (also known as a connection string):

username:password@tcp(localhost:3306)/dbname?param=value
  • Copy
  • Fill window

Flux to Percona data type conversion

sql.to() converts Flux data types to Percona data types.

Flux data typePercona data type
floatFLOAT
intBIGINT
uintBIGINT
stringTEXT(16383)
boolBOOL (TINYINT)
timeDATETIME

Percona BOOL types

BOOL is a synonym supplied by Percona for convenience. Percona stores BOOL values as TINYINT types so looking at the schema shows the column type as TINYINT.
