== SQL Translate API
The SQL Translate API accepts SQL in a JSON document and translates it
into native {es} queries. For example:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
POST /_sql/translate
{
"query": "SELECT * FROM library ORDER BY page_count DESC",
"fetch_size": 10
}
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:library]
Which returns:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"size" : 10,
"docvalue_fields" : [
{
"field": "page_count"
},
{
"field": "release_date",
"format": "epoch_millis"
}
],
"_source": {
"includes": [
"author",
"name"
],
"excludes": []
},
"sort" : [
{
"page_count" : {
"order" : "desc",
"missing" : "_first",
"unmapped_type" : "short"
}
}
]
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TESTRESPONSE
Which is the request that SQL will run to provide the results.
In this case, SQL will use the <<search-request-scroll,scroll>>
API. If the result contained an aggregation then SQL would use
the normal <<search-request-body,search>> API.
The request body accepts all of the <<sql-rest-fields,fields>> that
the <<sql-rest,SQL REST API>> accepts except `cursor`.
