SingleStore

This is the implementation of the SingleStore data handler for MindsDB.

SingleStore is a proprietary, cloud-native database designed for data-intensive applications. A distributed, relational, SQL database management system that features ANSI SQL support. It is known for speed in data ingest, transaction processing, and query processing.

​

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure the following prerequisites are met:

1. Install MindsDB locally via Docker or Docker Desktop.
2. To connect SingleStore to MindsDB, install the required dependencies following this instruction.
3. Install or ensure access to SingleStore.

​

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.

There are several optional arguments that can be used as well.

• ssl is the ssl parameter value that indicates whether SSL is enabled (True) or disabled (False).
• ssl_ca is the SSL Certificate Authority.
• ssl_cert stores SSL certificates.
• ssl_key stores SSL keys.

​

Usage

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

CREATE DATABASE singlestore_datasource
WITH
  ENGINE = 'singlestore',
  PARAMETERS = {
    "host": "127.0.0.1",
    "port": 3306,
    "database": "singlestore",
    "user": "root",
    "password": "password"
  };

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

SELECT *
FROM singlestore_datasource.example_table;
