Adds support for query strings containing multiple statements to the various SQL components. When a string contains multiple statements, they are all executed in the same database transaction.

Interpolated parameters (?, $1, etc.) may only be used in the first statement, similarly to the MySQL and Snowflake drivers which support this when not using the standard database/sql interfaces.

Affected components:

  • The query argument to the sql_raw input, processor, and output
  • The init_statement arg and init_files contents provided to sql_raw, sql_select, and sql_write components

This is incredibly useful for more complex use cases, and required in cases where you must execute multiple statements in the same transaction. Examples:

  • Create Postgres tables on the fly based on topic names coming in:

    output:
     sql_raw:
       driver: postgres
       dsn: postgres://localhost/postgres
       unsafe_dynamic_query: true
       query: |
         CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ${!metadata("table_name")} (id varchar primary key, document jsonb);
         INSERT INTO ${!metadata("table_name")} (id, document) VALUES ($1, $2)
           ON CONFLICT (id) DO UPDATE SET document = EXCLUDED.document;
       args_mapping: |
         root = [ this.id, this.document.string() ]
    
  • Upsert individual rows into Snowflake:

    output:
      sql_raw:
        driver: snowflake
        dsn: username:[email protected]/mydatabase/public
        args_mapping: root = [ this.id, this.data ]
        init_statement: |
          CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS mytable (
            id STRING,
            data STRING
          );
          CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS mytable_staging (
            id STRING,
            data STRING
          );
        query: |
          INSERT OVERWRITE INTO mytable_staging (id, data) VALUES (?, ?);
          MERGE INTO mytable USING mytable_staging AS incoming
            ON mytable.id = incoming.id
          WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET
            mytable.id = incoming.id,
            mytable.data = incoming.data
          WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
            INSERT (id, data) VALUES (
              incoming.id,
              incoming.data
            )
          ;
    
  • Put batches into a Snowflake staging table and then merge them into the main table:

    output:
      broker:
        pattern: fan_out_sequential
        outputs:
        - snowflake_put:
            init_statement: |
              CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS mytable_staging (
                id string,
                data string,
                updated_at timestamptz
              );
             ...
        - sql_raw:
            driver: snowflake
            dsn: username:[email protected]/mydatabase/public
            init_statement: |
              CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS mytable (
                id string,
                data string,
                updated_at timestamptz
              );
            query: |
              MERGE INTO mytable USING (
                SELECT * FROM mytable_staging
                QUALIFY 1 = RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY id ORDER BY updated_at DESC)
              ) mytable_staging
                ON mytable.id = mytable_staging.id
              WHEN MATCHED AND mytable.updated_at < mytable_staging.updated_at THEN UPDATE SET
                mytable.id = mytable_staging.id,
                mytable.data = mytable_staging.data,
                mytable.updated_at = mytable_staging.updated_at
              WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
                INSERT (id, data, updated_at) VALUES (
                  mytable_staging.id,
                  mytable_staging.data,
                  mytable_staging.updated_at
                )
              ;
              TRUNCATE mytable_staging
              ;
