Oracle коннектор#

Примечание

Ниже приведена оригинальная документация Trino. Скоро мы ее переведем на русский язык и дополним полезными примерами.

The Oracle connector allows querying and creating tables in an external Oracle database. Connectors let Trino join data provided by different databases, like Oracle and Hive, or different Oracle database instances.

Requirements#

To connect to Oracle, you need:

  • Oracle 12 or higher.

  • Network access from the Trino coordinator and workers to Oracle. Port 1521 is the default port.

Конфигурация#

To configure the Oracle connector as the oracle catalog, create a file named oracle.properties in etc/catalog. Include the following connection properties in the file:

connector.name=oracle
# The correct syntax of the connection-url varies by Oracle version and
# configuration. The following example URL connects to an Oracle SID named
# "orcl".
connection-url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@example.net:1521:orcl
connection-user=root
connection-password=secret

The connection-url defines the connection information and parameters to pass to the JDBC driver. The Oracle connector uses the Oracle JDBC Thin driver, and the syntax of the URL may be different depending on your Oracle configuration. For example, the connection URL is different if you are connecting to an Oracle SID or an Oracle service name. See the Oracle Database JDBC driver documentation for more information.

The connection-user and connection-password are typically required and determine the user credentials for the connection, often a service user. You can use secrets to avoid actual values in the catalog properties files.

Примечание

Oracle does not expose metadata comment via REMARKS column by default in JDBC driver. You can enable it using oracle.remarks-reporting.enabled config option. See Additional Oracle Performance Extensions for more details.

By default, the Oracle connector uses connection pooling for performance improvement. The below configuration shows the typical default values. To update them, change the properties in the catalog configuration file:

oracle.connection-pool.max-size=30
oracle.connection-pool.min-size=1
oracle.connection-pool.inactive-timeout=20m

To disable connection pooling, update properties to include the following:

oracle.connection-pool.enabled=false

Data source authentication#

The connector can provide credentials for the data source connection in multiple ways:

  • inline, in the connector configuration file

  • in a separate properties file

  • in a key store file

  • as extra credentials set when connecting to Trino

You can use secrets to avoid storing sensitive values in the catalog properties files.

The following table describes configuration properties for connection credentials:

Property name

Description

credential-provider.type

Type of the credential provider. Must be one of INLINE, FILE, or KEYSTORE; defaults to INLINE.

connection-user

Connection user name.

connection-password

Connection password.

user-credential-name

Name of the extra credentials property, whose value to use as the user name. See extraCredentials in Parameter reference.

password-credential-name

Name of the extra credentials property, whose value to use as the password.

connection-credential-file

Location of the properties file where credentials are present. It must contain the connection-user and connection-password properties.

keystore-file-path

The location of the Java Keystore file, from which to read credentials.

keystore-type

File format of the keystore file, for example JKS or PEM.

keystore-password

Password for the key store.

keystore-user-credential-name

Name of the key store entity to use as the user name.

keystore-user-credential-password

Password for the user name key store entity.

keystore-password-credential-name

Name of the key store entity to use as the password.

keystore-password-credential-password

Password for the password key store entity.

Multiple Oracle servers#

If you want to connect to multiple Oracle servers, configure another instance of the Oracle connector as a separate catalog.

To add another Oracle catalog, create a new properties file. For example, if you name the property file sales.properties, Trino creates a catalog named sales.

General configuration properties#

The following table describes general catalog configuration properties for the connector:

Property name

Description

Default value

case-insensitive-name-matching

Support case insensitive schema and table names.

false

case-insensitive-name-matching.cache-ttl

1m

case-insensitive-name-matching.config-file

Path to a name mapping configuration file in JSON format that allows Trino to disambiguate between schemas and tables with similar names in different cases.

null

case-insensitive-name-matching.config-file.refresh-period

Frequency with which Trino checks the name matching configuration file for changes.

0 (refresh disabled)

metadata.cache-ttl

Duration for which metadata, including table and column statistics, is cached.

0 (caching disabled)

metadata.cache-missing

Cache the fact that metadata, including table and column statistics, is not available

false

metadata.cache-maximum-size

Maximum number of objects stored in the metadata cache

10000

write.batch-size

Maximum number of statements in a batched execution. Do not change this setting from the default. Non-default values may negatively impact performance.

1000

dynamic-filtering.enabled

Push down dynamic filters into JDBC queries

true

dynamic-filtering.wait-timeout

Maximum duration for which Trino will wait for dynamic filters to be collected from the build side of joins before starting a JDBC query. Using a large timeout can potentially result in more detailed dynamic filters. However, it can also increase latency for some queries.

20s

Domain compaction threshold#

Pushing down a large list of predicates to the data source can compromise performance. Trino compacts large predicates into a simpler range predicate by default to ensure a balance between performance and predicate pushdown. If necessary, the threshold for this compaction can be increased to improve performance when the data source is capable of taking advantage of large predicates. Increasing this threshold may improve pushdown of large dynamic filters. The domain-compaction-threshold catalog configuration property or the domain_compaction_threshold catalog session property can be used to adjust the default value of 32 for this threshold.

Procedures#

  • system.flush_metadata_cache()

    Flush JDBC metadata caches. For example, the following system call flushes the metadata caches for all schemas in the example catalog

    USE example.myschema;
    CALL system.flush_metadata_cache();
    

Case insensitive matching#

When case-insensitive-name-matching is set to true, Trino is able to query non-lowercase schemas and tables by maintaining a mapping of the lowercase name to the actual name in the remote system. However, if two schemas and/or tables have names that differ only in case (such as «customers» and «Customers») then Trino fails to query them due to ambiguity.

In these cases, use the case-insensitive-name-matching.config-file catalog configuration property to specify a configuration file that maps these remote schemas/tables to their respective Trino schemas/tables:

{
  "schemas": [
    {
      "remoteSchema": "CaseSensitiveName",
      "mapping": "case_insensitive_1"
    },
    {
      "remoteSchema": "cASEsENSITIVEnAME",
      "mapping": "case_insensitive_2"
    }],
  "tables": [
    {
      "remoteSchema": "CaseSensitiveName",
      "remoteTable": "tablex",
      "mapping": "table_1"
    },
    {
      "remoteSchema": "CaseSensitiveName",
      "remoteTable": "TABLEX",
      "mapping": "table_2"
    }]
}

Queries against one of the tables or schemes defined in the mapping attributes are run against the corresponding remote entity. For example, a query against tables in the case_insensitive_1 schema is forwarded to the CaseSensitiveName schema and a query against case_insensitive_2 is forwarded to the cASEsENSITIVEnAME schema.

At the table mapping level, a query on case_insensitive_1.table_1 as configured above is forwarded to CaseSensitiveName.tablex, and a query on case_insensitive_1.table_2 is forwarded to CaseSensitiveName.TABLEX.

By default, when a change is made to the mapping configuration file, Trino must be restarted to load the changes. Optionally, you can set the case-insensitive-name-mapping.refresh-period to have Trino refresh the properties without requiring a restart:

case-insensitive-name-mapping.refresh-period=30s

Non-transactional INSERT#

The connector supports adding rows using INSERT statements. By default, data insertion is performed by writing data to a temporary table. You can skip this step to improve performance and write directly to the target table. Set the insert.non-transactional-insert.enabled catalog property or the corresponding non_transactional_insert catalog session property to true.

Note that with this property enabled, data can be corrupted in rare cases where exceptions occur during the insert operation. With transactions disabled, no rollback can be performed.

Querying Oracle#

The Oracle connector provides a schema for every Oracle database.

Run SHOW SCHEMAS to see the available Oracle databases:

SHOW SCHEMAS FROM oracle;

If you used a different name for your catalog properties file, use that catalog name instead of oracle.

Примечание

The Oracle user must have access to the table in order to access it from Trino. The user configuration, in the connection properties file, determines your privileges in these schemas.

Examples#

If you have an Oracle database named web, run SHOW TABLES to see the tables it contains:

SHOW TABLES FROM oracle.web;

To see a list of the columns in the clicks table in the web database, run either of the following:

DESCRIBE oracle.web.clicks;
SHOW COLUMNS FROM oracle.web.clicks;

To access the clicks table in the web database, run the following:

SELECT * FROM oracle.web.clicks;

Type mapping#

Because Trino and Oracle each support types that the other does not, this connector modifies some types when reading or writing data. Data types may not map the same way in both directions between Trino and the data source. Refer to the following sections for type mapping in each direction.

Oracle to Trino type mapping#

Trino supports selecting Oracle database types. This table shows the Oracle to Trino data type mapping:

Trino supports creating tables with the following types in an Oracle database. The table shows the mappings from Trino to Oracle data types:

Примечание

For types not listed in the table below, Trino can’t perform the CREATE TABLE <table> AS SELECT operations. When data is inserted into existing tables, Oracle to Trino type mapping is used.

Mapping numeric types#

An Oracle NUMBER(p, s) maps to Trino’s DECIMAL(p, s) except in these conditions:

  • No precision is specified for the column (example: NUMBER or NUMBER(*)), unless oracle.number.default-scale is set.

  • Scale (s ) is greater than precision.

  • Precision (p ) is greater than 38.

  • Scale is negative and the difference between p and s is greater than 38, unless oracle.number.rounding-mode is set to a different value than UNNECESSARY.

If s is negative, NUMBER(p, s) maps to DECIMAL(p + s, 0).

For Oracle NUMBER (without precision and scale), you can change oracle.number.default-scale=s and map the column to DECIMAL(38, s).

Mapping datetime types#

Selecting a timestamp with fractional second precision (p) greater than 3 truncates the fractional seconds to three digits instead of rounding it.

Oracle DATE type stores hours, minutes, and seconds, so it is mapped to Trino TIMESTAMP(0).

Предупреждение

Due to date and time differences in the libraries used by Trino and the Oracle JDBC driver, attempting to insert or select a datetime value earlier than 1582-10-15 results in an incorrect date inserted.

Mapping character types#

Trino’s VARCHAR(n) maps to VARCHAR2(n CHAR) if n is no greater than 4000. A larger or unbounded VARCHAR maps to NCLOB.

Trino’s CHAR(n) maps to CHAR(n CHAR) if n is no greater than 2000. A larger CHAR maps to NCLOB.

Using CREATE TABLE AS to create an NCLOB column from a CHAR value removes the trailing spaces from the initial values for the column. Inserting CHAR values into existing NCLOB columns keeps the trailing spaces. For example:

CREATE TABLE vals AS SELECT CAST('A' as CHAR(2001)) col;
INSERT INTO vals (col) VALUES (CAST('BB' as CHAR(2001)));
SELECT LENGTH(col) FROM vals;
 _col0
-------
  2001
     1
(2 rows)

Attempting to write a CHAR that doesn’t fit in the column’s actual size fails. This is also true for the equivalent VARCHAR types.

Type mapping configuration properties#

The following properties can be used to configure how data types from the connected data source are mapped to Trino data types and how the metadata is cached in Trino.

Property name

Description

Default value

unsupported-type-handling

Configure how unsupported column data types are handled:

  • IGNORE, column is not accessible.

  • CONVERT_TO_VARCHAR, column is converted to unbounded VARCHAR.

The respective catalog session property is unsupported_type_handling.

IGNORE

jdbc-types-mapped-to-varchar

Allow forced mapping of comma separated lists of data types to convert to unbounded VARCHAR

Number to decimal configuration properties#

Configuration property name

Session property name

Description

Default

oracle.number.default-scale

number_default_scale

Default Trino DECIMAL scale for Oracle NUMBER (without precision and scale) date type. When not set then such column is treated as not supported.

not set

oracle.number.rounding-mode

number_rounding_mode

Rounding mode for the Oracle NUMBER data type. This is useful when Oracle NUMBER data type specifies higher scale than is supported in Trino. Possible values are:

  • UNNECESSARY - Rounding mode to assert that the requested operation has an exact result, hence no rounding is necessary.

  • CEILING - Rounding mode to round towards positive infinity.

  • FLOOR - Rounding mode to round towards negative infinity.

  • HALF_DOWN - Rounding mode to round towards nearest neighbor unless both neighbors are equidistant, in which case rounding down is used.

  • HALF_EVEN - Rounding mode to round towards the nearest neighbor unless both neighbors are equidistant, in which case rounding towards the even neighbor is performed.

  • HALF_UP - Rounding mode to round towards nearest neighbor unless both neighbors are equidistant, in which case rounding up is used

  • UP - Rounding mode to round towards zero.

  • DOWN - Rounding mode to round towards zero.

UNNECESSARY

SQL support#

The connector provides read access and write access to data and metadata in Oracle. In addition to the globally available and read operation statements, the connector supports the following statements:

SQL DELETE#

If a WHERE clause is specified, the DELETE operation only works if the predicate in the clause can be fully pushed down to the data source.

ALTER TABLE#

The connector does not support renaming tables across multiple schemas. For example, the following statement is supported:

ALTER TABLE catalog.schema_one.table_one RENAME TO catalog.schema_one.table_two

The following statement attempts to rename a table across schemas, and therefore is not supported:

ALTER TABLE catalog.schema_one.table_one RENAME TO catalog.schema_two.table_two

Table functions#

The connector provides specific table functions to access Oracle.

query(varchar) -> table#

The query function allows you to query the underlying database directly. It requires syntax native to Oracle, because the full query is pushed down and processed in Oracle. This can be useful for accessing native features which are not available in Trino or for improving query performance in situations where running a query natively may be faster.

Примечание

Polymorphic table functions may not preserve the order of the query result. If the table function contains a query with an ORDER BY clause, the function result may not be ordered as expected.

As a simple example, to select an entire table:

SELECT
  *
FROM
  TABLE(
    oracle.system.query(
      query => 'SELECT
        *
      FROM
        tpch.nation'
    )
  );

As a practical example, you can use the MODEL clause from Oracle SQL:

SELECT
  SUBSTR(country, 1, 20) country,
  SUBSTR(product, 1, 15) product,
  year,
  sales
FROM
  TABLE(
    oracle.system.query(
      query => 'SELECT
        *
      FROM
        sales_view
      MODEL
        RETURN UPDATED ROWS
        MAIN
          simple_model
        PARTITION BY
          country
        MEASURES
          sales
        RULES
          (sales['Bounce', 2001] = 1000,
          sales['Bounce', 2002] = sales['Bounce', 2001] + sales['Bounce', 2000],
          sales['Y Box', 2002] = sales['Y Box', 2001])
      ORDER BY
        country'
    )
  );

Performance#

The connector includes a number of performance improvements, detailed in the following sections.

Synonyms#

Based on performance reasons, Trino disables support for Oracle SYNONYM. To include SYNONYM, add the following configuration property:

oracle.synonyms.enabled=true

Pushdown#

The connector supports pushdown for a number of operations:

In addition, the connector supports Aggregation pushdown for the following functions:

Pushdown is only supported for DOUBLE type columns with the following functions:

Pushdown is only supported for REAL or DOUBLE type column with the following functions:

Примечание

The connector performs pushdown where performance may be improved, but in order to preserve correctness an operation may not be pushed down. When pushdown of an operation may result in better performance but risks correctness, the connector prioritizes correctness.

Join pushdown#

The join-pushdown.enabled catalog configuration property or join_pushdown_enabled catalog session property control whether the connector pushes down join operations. The property defaults to false, and enabling join pushdowns may negatively impact performance for some queries.

Predicate pushdown support#

The connector does not support pushdown of any predicates on columns that use the CLOB, NCLOB, BLOB, or RAW(n) Oracle database types, or Trino data types that map to these Oracle database types.

In the following example, the predicate is not pushed down for either query since name is a column of type VARCHAR, which maps to NCLOB in Oracle:

SHOW CREATE TABLE nation;

--             Create Table
----------------------------------------
-- CREATE TABLE oracle.trino_test.nation (
--    name varchar
-- )
-- (1 row)

SELECT * FROM nation WHERE name > 'CANADA';
SELECT * FROM nation WHERE name = 'CANADA';

In the following example, the predicate is pushed down for both queries since name is a column of type VARCHAR(25), which maps to VARCHAR2(25) in Oracle:

SHOW CREATE TABLE nation;

--             Create Table
----------------------------------------
-- CREATE TABLE oracle.trino_test.nation (
--    name varchar(25)
-- )
-- (1 row)

SELECT * FROM nation WHERE name > 'CANADA';
SELECT * FROM nation WHERE name = 'CANADA';
