Implementation

This handler is implemented by extending the MySQL data handler.

The required arguments to establish a connection are as follows:

• user is the database user.
• password is the database password.
• host is the host name, IP address, or URL.
• port is the port used to make TCP/IP connection.
• database is the database name.

​

Usage

In order to make use of this handler and connect to the StarRocks server in MindsDB, the following syntax can be used:

CREATE DATABASE starrocks_datasource
WITH
  ENGINE = 'starrocks',
  PARAMETERS = {
    "host": "127.0.0.1",
    "user": "starrocks_user",
    "password": "password",
    "port": 8030,
    "database": "starrocks_db"
  };

You can use this established connection to query your table as follows:

SELECT *
FROM starrocks_datasource.demo_table
LIMIT 10;
