# SQL CLI
|
|
|
|
SQL CLI is a stand-alone Python application that you can launch with the `opensearchsql` command.
|
|
|
|
Install the SQL plugin to your OpenSearch instance, run the CLI using MacOS or Linux, and connect to any valid OpenSearch end-point.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
SQL CLI has the following features:
|
|
|
|
- Multi-line input
|
|
- Autocomplete for SQL syntax and index names
|
|
- Syntax highlighting
|
|
- Formatted output:
|
|
- Tabular format
|
|
- Field names with color
|
|
- Enabled horizontal display (by default) and vertical display when output is too wide for your terminal, for better visualization
|
|
- Pagination for large output
|
|
- Works with or without security enabled
|
|
- Supports loading configuration files
|
|
- Supports all SQL plugin queries
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
Launch your local OpenSearch instance and make sure you have the SQL plugin installed.
|
|
|
|
To install the SQL CLI:
|
|
|
|
1. We suggest you install and activate a python3 virtual environment to avoid changing your local environment:
|
|
```
|
|
pip install virtualenv
|
|
virtualenv venv
|
|
cd venv
|
|
source ./bin/activate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Install the CLI:
|
|
```
|
|
pip3 install opensearch-sql-cli
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The SQL CLI only works with Python 3.
|
|
{: .note }
|
|
|
|
3. To launch the CLI, run:
|
|
```
|
|
opensearchsql https://localhost:9200 --username admin --password admin
|
|
```
|
|
By default, the `opensearchsql` command connects to http://localhost:9200.
|
|
|
|
## Configure
|
|
|
|
When you first launch the SQL CLI, a configuration file is automatically created at `~/.config/opensearchsql-cli/config` (for MacOS and Linux), the configuration is auto-loaded thereafter.
|
|
|
|
You can configure the following connection properties:
|
|
|
|
- `endpoint`: You do not need to specify an option, anything that follows the launch command `opensearchsql` is considered as the endpoint. If you do not provide an endpoint, by default, the SQL CLI connects to http://localhost:9200.
|
|
- `-u/-w`: Supports username and password for HTTP basic authentication, such as with the security plugin or fine-grained access control for Amazon OpenSearch Service.
|
|
- `--aws-auth`: Turns on AWS sigV4 authentication to connect to an Amazon OpenSearch endpoint. Use with the AWS CLI (`aws configure`) to retrieve the local AWS configuration to authenticate and connect.
|
|
|
|
For a list of all available configurations, see [clirc](https://github.com/opensearch-project/sql/blob/main/sql-cli/src/opensearch_sql_cli/conf/clirc).
|
|
|
|
## Using the CLI
|
|
|
|
1. Save the sample [accounts test data](https://github.com/opensearch-project/sql/blob/main/doctest/test_data/accounts.json) file.
|
|
|
|
1. Index the sample data.
|
|
```
|
|
curl -H "Content-Type: application/x-ndjson" -POST https://localhost:9200/data/_bulk -u 'admin:admin' --insecure --data-binary "@accounts.json"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Run a sample SQL command:
|
|
```
|
|
SELECT * FROM accounts;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By default, you see a maximum output of 200 rows. To show more results, add a `LIMIT` clause with the desired value.
|
|
|
|
## Query options
|
|
|
|
Run a single query with the following options:
|
|
|
|
- `--help`: Help page for options
|
|
- `-q`: Follow by a single query
|
|
- `-f`: Specify JDBC or raw format output
|
|
- `-v`: Display data vertically
|
|
- `-e`: Translate SQL to DSL
|
|
|
|
## CLI options
|
|
|
|
- `-p`: Always use pager to display output
|
|
- `--clirc`: Provide path for the configuration file
