xk6-sql-oracle

This is a k6 extension using the xk6 system.

Supported RDBMSs: mysql, postgres, sqlite3, sqlserver, azuresql, oracle. See the examples directory for usage. The Dockerfile uses the golang Debian image which includes glibc to run the oracle client, then installs the libaio1, instantclient-basiclite-linux.x64-23.4.0.24.05.

Build

To build a k6 binary with this plugin, first ensure you have the prerequisites:

• Go toolchain
• If you're using SQLite, a build toolchain for your system that includes gcc or another C compiler. On Debian and derivatives install the build-essential package. On Windows you can use tdm-gcc. Make sure that gcc is in your PATH.
• Git

Then:

1. Install xk6:

go install go.k6.io/xk6/cmd/xk6@latest

1. Build the binary:

xk6 build --with github.com/bhaskarkoley/xk6-sql-oracle

If you're using SQLite, ensure you have a C compiler installed (see the prerequisites note) and set CGO_ENABLED=1 in the environment:

CGO_ENABLED=1 CGO_CFLAGS="-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE" xk6 build --with github.com/bhaskarkoley/xk6-sql-oracle

On Windows this is done slightly differently:

set CGO_ENABLED=1
CGO_CFLAGS="-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE"
xk6 build --with github.com/bhaskarkoley/xk6-sql-oracle

Development

To make development a little smoother, use the Makefile in the root folder. The default target will format your code, run tests, and create a k6 binary with your local code rather than from GitHub.

make

Once built, you can run your newly extended k6 using:

 k6 run examples/oracle_test.js

Example

// script.js
import sql from 'k6/x/sql';

// The second argument is a Oracle connection string, e.g.
// `user="myuser" password="mypass" connectString="127.0.0.1:1521/mydb"`
const db = sql.open('oracle', ``);

export function teardown() {
  db.close();
}

export default function () {

  let results = sql.query(db, "SELECT * FROM dual");
  for (const row of results) {
    // Convert array of ASCII integers into strings. See https://github.com/grafana/xk6-sql/issues/12
    console.log(`bh`);
  }
}

Result output:

$ k6 run script.js

Docker

For those who do not have a Go development environment available, or simply want to run an extended version of k6 as a container, Docker is an option to build and run the application.

The following command will build a custom k6 image incorporating the xk6-sql extension built from the local source files.

docker build -t grafana/k6-for-sql-oracle:latest .

Using this image, you may then execute the examples/sqlite3_test.js script by running the following command:

docker run -v $PWD:/scripts -it --rm grafana/k6-for-sql-oracle:latest k6 run scripts/examples/oracle_test.js

For those on Mac or Linux, the docker-run.sh script simplifies the command:

./docker-run.sh examples/oracle_test.js
