SQL and Scan Queries

Operation codes

Upon a successful handshake with an Ignite server node, a client can start performing various SQL and scan queries by sending a request (see request/response structure below) with a specific operation code:

Operation OP_CODE

OP_QUERY_SQL

2002

OP_QUERY_SQL_CURSOR_GET_PAGE

2003

OP_QUERY_SQL_FIELDS

2004

OP_QUERY_SQL_FIELDS_CURSOR_GET_PAGE

2005

OP_QUERY_SCAN

2000

OP_QUERY_SCAN_CURSOR_GET_PAGE

2001

OP_RESOURCE_CLOSE

0

Note that the above mentioned op_codes are part of the request header, as explained here.

Note

Customs Methods Used in Sample Code Snippets Implementation

Some of the code snippets below use readDataObject(…​) introduced in this section and little-endian versions of methods for reading and writing multiple-byte values that are covered in this example.

OP_QUERY_SQL

Executes an SQL query over data stored in the cluster. The query returns the whole record (key and value).

Request Type Description

Header

Request header.

int

Cache ID: Java-style hash code of the cache name

byte

Use 0. This field is deprecated and will be removed in the future.

String

Name of a type or SQL table.

String

SQL query string.

int

Query argument count.

Data Object

Query argument.

Repeat for as many times as the query argument count that is passed in the previous parameter.

bool

Distributed joins.

bool

Local query.

bool

Replicated only - Whether query contains only replicated tables or not.

int

Cursor page size.

long

Timeout (miliseconds).

Timeout value should be non-negative. Zero value disables timeout.

Response includes the first page of the result.

Response Type Description

Header

Response header.

long

Cursor id. Can be closed with OP_RESOURSE_CLOSE.

int

Row count for the first page.

Key Data Object + Value Data Object

Records in the form of key-value pairs.

Repeat for as many times as the row count obtained in the previous parameter.

bool

Indicates whether more results are available to be fetched with OP_QUERY_SQL_CURSOR_GET_PAGE. When true, query cursor is closed automatically.

String entityName = "Person";
int entityNameLength = getStrLen(entityName); // UTF-8 bytes

String sql = "Select * from Person";
int sqlLength = getStrLen(sql);

DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());

// Request header
writeRequestHeader(34 + entityNameLength + sqlLength, OP_QUERY_SQL, 1, out);

// Cache id
String queryCacheName = "personCache";
writeIntLittleEndian(queryCacheName.hashCode(), out);

// Flag = none
writeByteLittleEndian(0, out);

// Query Entity
writeString(entityName, out);

// SQL query
writeString(sql, out);

// Argument count
writeIntLittleEndian(0, out);

// Joins
out.writeBoolean(false);

// Local query
out.writeBoolean(false);

// Replicated
out.writeBoolean(false);

// cursor page size
writeIntLittleEndian(1, out);

// Timeout
writeLongLittleEndian(5000, out);
// Read result
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream());

// Response header
readResponseHeader(in);

long cursorId = readLongLittleEndian(in);

int rowCount = readIntLittleEndian(in);

// Read entries (as user objects)
for (int i = 0; i < rowCount; i++) {
