OpenGauss

This is the implementation of the OpenGauss data handler for MindsDB.

OpenGauss is an open-source relational database management system released with the Mulan PSL v2 and the kernel built on Huawei’s years of experience in the database field. It continuously provides competitive features tailored to enterprise-grade scenarios.

Implementation

This handler is implemented by extending the PostgreSQL data handler.

The required arguments to establish a connection are as follows:

• user is the database user.
• password is the database password.
• host is the host name, IP address, or URL.
• port is the port used to make TCP/IP connection.
• database is the database name.

If you installed MindsDB locally via pip, you need to install all handler dependencies manually. To do so, go to the handler’s folder (mindsdb/integrations/handlers/opengauss_handler) and run this command: pip install -r requirements.txt.

Usage

In order to make use of this handler and connect to the OpenGauss database in MindsDB, the following syntax can be used:

CREATE DATABASE opengauss_datasource
WITH
  ENGINE = 'opengauss',
  PARAMETERS = {
    "host": "127.0.0.1",
    "port": 5432,
    "database": "opengauss",
    "user": "mindsdb",
    "password": "password"
  };

You can use this established connection to query your table as follows:

SELECT *
FROM opengauss_datasource.demo_table
LIMIT 10;
