query
Description
A convenience wrapper for executing arbitrary SQL queries on a node.
Usage
A convenience wrapper for executing arbitrary SQL queries on a node A cluster node is specified using the --memsql-id flag. This will use memsqlctl to execute the query. A node may alternatively be specified using a combination of --host, --port, --user, and --password. This is not recommended because it can result in connecting to a node outside the cluster. Examples: sdb-admin query --sql 'select * from data' --memsql-id 0123ABCDEF sdb-admin query --sql 'select * from data' --host memsql-01 --port 3306 --password mypassword Usage: sdb-admin query [flags] Flags: -h, --help Help for query --host string The cluster-addressable hostname for the node --max-column-width int The maximum width of a column in a query result. The supplied value cannot be less than 60. To disable the limitation, set the value to 0 (default 60) --memsql-id MemsqlID The node ID of the node to query -p, --password STRING The database user's password. If a password is specified on the command line, it must not contain an unescaped '$' character as it will be replaced by the shell. If a password is not specified on the command line and user is not "root", Toolbox will attempt to read the password from the ‘MEMSQL_PASSWORD’ environment variable. If this variable is present but does not contain a value, or if the variable does not exist, Toolbox will prompt for a password --port PORT The cluster-addressable port for the node --row-timeout duration Maximum time to wait for each row in the result (e.g., 30s, 10m, 1.5h); defaults to 1 minute (default 1m0s) --sql string The SQL query to run --user string The database user Global Flags: --backup-cache FILE_PATH File path for the backup cache --cache-file FILE_PATH File path for the Toolbox node cache -c, --config FILE_PATH File path for the Toolbox configuration --disable-colors Disable color output in console, which some terminal sessions/environments may have difficulty with --disable-spinner Disable the progress spinner, which some terminal sessions/environments may have issues with -j, --json Enable JSON output --parallelism POSITIVE_INTEGER Maximum number of operations to run in parallel --runtime-dir DIRECTORY_PATH Where to store Toolbox runtime data --ssh-control-persist SECONDS Enable SSH ControlPersist and set it to the specified duration in seconds --ssh-max-sessions POSITIVE_INTEGER Maximum number of SSH sessions to open per host, must be at least 3 --ssh-strict-host-key-checking Enable strict host key checking for SSH connections --ssh-user-known-hosts-file FILE_PATH Path to the user known_hosts file for SSH connections. If not set, /dev/null will be used --state-file FILE_PATH Toolbox state file path -v, --verbosity count Increase logging verbosity: valid values are 1, 2, 3. Usage -v=count or --verbosity=count -y, --yes Enable non-interactive mode and assume the user would like to move forward with the proposed actions by default
Remarks
--password
is an optional flag that specifies the SingleStoreDBroot
password. You can optionally use this flag in conjunction with the--user
flag to specify a SingleStoreDB user that is different from theroot
user and the user’s password. Note that theMEMSQL_PASSWORD
environment variable is a safer alternative option for setting the password.Wrap the password string in single quotes (') to avoid having the shell try to interpret any special characters included in the string.
This command is interactive unless you use either
--yes
or--json
flag to override interactive behavior.
