DMReader Plugin Documentation

Quick Introduction

The DMReader plugin enables data reading from a DM (Dameng) database. Internally, DMReader connects to a remote DM database using gitee.com/chunanyong/dm and database/sql, executing corresponding SQL statements to retrieve data from the DM server.

Implementation Principles

DMReader connects to a remote DM database using gitee.com/chunanyong/dm. Based on user-provided configuration information, it generates SQL queries and sends them to the remote DM server. The returned results from these SQL executions are assembled into an abstract dataset using go-etl's custom data types and passed to downstream Writers for processing.

DMReader utilizes the query processes defined in dbmsreader and calls go-etl's custom storage/database DBWrapper for specific queries. DBWrapper encapsulates numerous interfaces from database/sql and abstracts out a database dialect. For DM, it adopts the dialect implemented in storage/database/dm.

Functionality Description

Configuration Example

Configuring a job to synchronize data from a DM database to a local destination:

{
  "job":{
    "content":[
      {
        "reader":{
          "name": "dmreader",
          "parameter": {
            "username": "",
            "password": "",
            "column": [],
            "connection": {
              "url": "",
              "table": {
                "db": "",
                "name": ""
              }
            },
            "where": ""
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
