Streaming the results of queries would be great. I think it requires setting the connection mode to active though.

Streaming the results of queries would be great. I think it requires setting the connection mode to active though.

There is an undocumented Ch.stream function that is used in the benchmarks. It doesn't decode the raw data into rows very well yet (right now it only does the decoding if :types option is provided).

Here's a minimal example:

{:ok, pid} = Ch.start_link()

Ch.run(pid, fn conn ->
  conn
  |> Ch.stream("select number from system.numbers limit {limit:UInt64}", %{"limit" => 1_000_000}, types: ["UInt64"]) 
  |> Stream.each(fn rows -> IO.puts("at #{Time.utc_now()} got #{length(List.flatten(rows))} rows") end)
  |> Stream.run()
end)

at 13:24:49.737616 got 2560 rows
at 13:24:49.742150 got 36864 rows
at 13:24:49.752535 got 50657 rows
at 13:24:49.760068 got 51169 rows

at 13:24:49.792197 got 51200 rows
at 13:24:49.797056 got 50657 rows
at 13:24:49.802442 got 51169 rows
at 13:24:49.807619 got 50657 rows

at 13:24:49.841795 got 50657 rows

And some tests.

That's great! Will it support not having to specify types in the future?

@hkrutzer

@hkrutzer yeah, most likely. We'd "just" need to decode types from RowBinaryWithNamesAndTypes and store them in the accumulator.

is there a way to hook into clickhouse's WATCH functionality?

I think that functionality is deprecated and will be removed: https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/sql-reference/statements/create/view#live-view-deprecated

I wasn't able to create a live view on clickhouse/clickhouse-server:24.3.3.102-alpine but either way it should be possible to consume it with Ch.stream like in #82 (comment)

eb6fbe5ed437 :) CREATE LIVE VIEW lv WITH REFRESH 5 AS SELECT now();

Syntax error: failed at position 21 ('WITH'):

CREATE LIVE VIEW lv WITH REFRESH 5 AS SELECT now();

Expected one of: token, Dot, UUID, ON, TO, OpeningRoundBracket, sql security, DEFINER, SQL SECURITY, AS

I expect something like this to work, timeout might be tricky:

{:ok, pid} = Ch.start_link(pool_size: 1)

DBConnection.run(pid, fn conn ->
  Ch.stream(conn, "watch lv format JSONEachRowWithProgress") 
  |> Stream.each(&IO.inspect/1)
  |> Stream.run()
end, timeout: :infinity)

Did you run set allow_experimental_live_view = 1 first?

No, but it doesn't seem to have changed much. Somehow it's a syntax error.

eb6fbe5ed437 :) set allow_experimental_live_view = 1;

SET allow_experimental_live_view = 1

Query id: e40f3eb8-548e-4b3d-bc0e-8f92456f076c

Ok.

0 rows in set. Elapsed: 0.001 sec.

ah okay, thank you! 🙇

@ruslandoga

@ruslandoga I tried Ch.stream for select query, but I can't get the Ch.RowBinary.decode_rows to work reliably. It does work for simple queries, but it breaks for complex queries (or for any queries that return a lot of data back (eg SELECT number, randomFixedString(1024) FROM system.numbers_mt LIMIT {limit:UInt64}). I am assuming this is because Ch.Result{data: data} doesn't have any concept of alignment? and decode_rows only works if the data is aligned at row level?. I still can make it work with FORMAT CSV and doing my csv parse_stream, but just want to confirm if that is the only way to get this work reliably.

Yes. Right now Ch.stream is used in Plausible only as a "raw" data pipe into a Zip file.

We would probably need to implement an incremental version of Ch.RowBinary.decode_rows for Ch.stream to work reliably.

It would be great if we could set that all params are sent through the POST body, because AWS' ELB have an 8k limit on the URL path and we're getting destroyed every once in a while if we make bigger queries. I can work on it soon.
