This topic describes some common scenarios that OBLOADER supports and provides the corresponding use cases.

The following table provides information about the database used in the examples.

Database information
Example value
Cluster name Cluster A
OBProxy IP address xx.x.x.x
OBProxy port number 2883
Tenant name TenantA
Password of a user (with at least the real-only privilege) under the sys tenant **1*** (the password of the **u*** user in this example)
User account (with read/write privileges) under a business tenant **u***
Password of the user under the business tenant **1***
Schema name USERA

Import schema structures

Scenario description : Import all the schema information from /home/admin/LOAD-1/ to the USERA schema.

Example statement :

[admin@localhost]> ./obloader -h xx.x.x.x -P 2883 -u **u*** -p **1*** --sys-password **1*** -c ClusterA -t tenantA -D USERA --ddl --all -f /Users/admin/LOAD-1/

Import CSV data files

Scenario description : Import all the CSV data files in /home/admin/LOAD-1/ to the USERA schema.

Example statement :

[admin@localhost]> ./obloader -h xx.x.x.x -P 2883 -u **u*** -p **1*** --sys-password **1*** -c ClusterA -t tenantA -D USERA --csv --all -f /Users/admin/LOAD-1/

Import SQL data files

Scenario description : Import all the SQL data files in /home/admin/LOAD-1/ to the USERA schema.

Example statement :

[admin@localhost]> ./obloader -h xx.x.x.x -P 2883 -u **u*** -p **1*** --sys-password **1*** -c ClusterA -t tenantA -D USERA --sql --all -f /Users/admin/LOAD-1/

Full import of structures and data in limited mode

Scenario description : Import all the structures and data in /home/admin/LOAD-1/ to the USERA schema in the limited mode.

Example statement :

[admin@localhost]> ./obloader -h xx.x.x.x -P 2883 -u **u*** -p **1***  -c ClusterA -t tenantA -D USERA --ddl --sql --public-cloud  --all -f  /Users/admin/LOAD-1/

Import POS data files

Scenario description : Import all the data files in /home/admin to the test table in the test database. Use the control files in /home/admin to process the data and use the vertical bar (|) as the column splitter.

Example statement :

[admin@localhost]>./obloader -h xx.x.x.x -P 2881 -u test -t mysql -c xx -p **1*** -D test --table 'test' -f /home/admin --pos --column-splitter '|' --ctl-path '/home/admin'

The following example shows the rule defined in a control file:

lang=java
(
  c1 position(1:5) "trim(c1)",
  c2 position(7:25) "replace(trim(c2),'',' ')"
);

Import CUT data files

Scenario description : Import all the data files in /home/admin to the test table in the test database. Use the control file in /home/admin to process the data and use the string '|@|' as the column splitter.

Example statement :

[admin@localhost]>./obloader -h xx.x.x.x -P 2881 -u test -t mysql -c xx -p **1*** -D test --table 'test' -f /home/admin --cut --column-splitter '|@|' --ctl-path '/home/admin'

The following example shows the rule defined in a control file:

lang=java
(
  c1 "trim(c1)",
  c2 "replace(trim(c2),'',' ')"
);
