AnalyticDB for MySQL:Import data from ApsaraDB for MongoDB

Last Updated:May 14, 2024

This topic describes how to query ApsaraDB for MongoDB data by using external tables of AnalyticDB for MySQL Data Lakehouse Edition (V3.0) and how to import data from ApsaraDB for MongoDB to AnalyticDB for MySQL Data Lakehouse Edition (V3.0).

Prerequisites

  • An AnalyticDB for MySQL Data Lakehouse Edition (V3.0) cluster is created in the same virtual private cloud (VPC) as an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance. For more information, see Create a cluster.

  • ENI is turned on for the AnalyticDB for MySQL cluster in the Network Information section of the Cluster Information page in the console.
  • The VPC CIDR block of the AnalyticDB for MySQL Data Lakehouse Edition (V3.0) cluster is added to a whitelist of the ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance. For more information, see Modify the IP address whitelist of an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance.

Import data from non-nested documents of ApsaraDB for MongoDB

Sample data

In this example, a collection named person is created in the test_mongodb database of the ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance.

use test_mongodb;
db.createCollection("person");

Documents are inserted into the person collection.

db.person.insert({"id":1,"name":"james","age":10});
db.person.insert({"id":2,"name":"bond","age":20});
db.person.insert({"id":3,"name":"jack","age":30});
db.person.insert({"id":4,"name":"lock","age":40});

Procedure

  1. Go to the SQL editor.
    1. Log on to the AnalyticDB for MySQL console.
    2. In the upper-left corner of the page, select the region where the cluster resides.
    3. In the left-side navigation pane, click Clusters.
    4. On the Data Lakehouse Edition (V3.0) tab, find the cluster and click the Cluster ID.
    5. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Job Development > SQL Development.
  2. Execute the following statement to create an external database:
    CREATE EXTERNAL DATABASE adb_external_db;
  3. Create an external table.

    Important

    The AnalyticDB for MySQL external table must have the same names, quantity, order, and data types of fields as the ApsaraDB for MongoDB collection.

    CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE adb_external_db.person (
      id int,
      name string,
      age int
    ) ENGINE = 'MONGODB' TABLE_PROPERTIES ='{
    "mapped_name":"person",
    "location":"mongodb://testuser:****@dds-bp113d414bca8****.mongodb.rds.aliyuncs.com:3717,dds-bp113d414bca8****.mongodb.rds.aliyuncs.com:3717/test_mongodb",
    "username":"testuser",
    "password":"password",
    }';

    Table 1. Parameters

    Parameter

    Description

    mapped_name

    The name of the ApsaraDB for MongoDB collection. In this example, person is used.

    location

    The VPC endpoint that is used to connect to the ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance. For information about how to obtain the VPC endpoint, see Overview of instance connections.

    Format: mongodb://testuser:****@dds-bp113d414bca8****.mongodb.rds.aliyuncs.com:3717,dds-bp113d414bca8****.mongodb.rds.aliyuncs.com:3717/database.

    Example: mongodb://testuser:****@dds-bp113d414bca8****.mongodb.rds.aliyuncs.com:3717,dds-bp113d414bca8****.mongodb.rds.aliyuncs.com:3717/test_mongodb.

    Note

    When you connect to an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance, do not use the endpoints of secondary nodes.

    username

    The name of the database account that is used to connect to the ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance. For information about how to create a database account, see Manage the permissions of MongoDB database users.

    Note

    ApsaraDB for MongoDB verifies the specified database account and the password. You must use the database account that is contained in the VPC endpoint of the ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance. If you have any questions, contact technical support.

    password

    The password of the database account.

  4. Query data.

    After the external table is created, you can execute the SELECT statement to query data of the person collection.

    SELECT * FROM adb_external_db.person;

    Sample result:

    +------+-------+------+
    | id   | name  | age  |
    +------+-------+------+
    |    1 | james |   10 |
    |    2 | bond  |   20 |
    |    3 | jack  |   30 |
    |    4 | lock  |   40 |
    +------+-------+------+
    4 rows in set (0.35 sec)
  5. Create a database and a table in the AnalyticDB for MySQL Data Lakehouse Edition (V3.0) cluster to store data that is imported from the ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance.

    1. Create a database named adb_demo.

      CREATE DATABASE adb_demo; 
    2. Create a table named adb_demo.adb_import_test.

      Important

      The table that is created in the AnalyticDB for MySQL Data Lakehouse Edition (V3.0) cluster must have the same names, quantity, order, and data types of fields as the AnalyticDB for MySQL external table.

       CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS adb_demo.adb_import_test(id int,name varchar(1023),age int ) DISTRIBUTE BY HASH(id);
  6. Import data from the ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance to the AnalyticDB for MySQL Data Lakehouse Edition (V3.0) cluster.

    • Method 1: Execute the INSERT INTO statement to import data. If the primary key has duplicate values, data is not repeatedly inserted, and the INSERT INTO statement is equivalent to INSERT IGNORE INTO. For more information, see INSERT INTO.

      INSERT INTO adb_demo.adb_import_test SELECT * FROM adb_external_db.person;
    • Method 2: Execute the INSERT OVERWRITE INTO statement to synchronously import data. If the primary key has duplicate values, the original value is overwritten by the new value.

      INSERT OVERWRITE INTO adb_demo.adb_import_test SELECT * FROM adb_external_db.person;
    • Method 3: Execute the INSERT OVERWRITE INTO statement to asynchronously import data. For more information, see the "Asynchronous writing" section of the INSERT OVERWRITE SELECT topic.

      SUBMIT JOB INSERT OVERWRITE adb_demo.adb_import_test SELECT * FROM adb_external_db.person;
  7. After data is imported, execute the SELECT statement to query data of the adb_demo.adb_import_test table.

    SELECT * FROM adb_demo.adb_import_test;

    Sample result:

    +------+-------+------+
    | id   | name  | age  |
    +------+-------+------+
    |    1 | james |   10 |
    |    2 | bond  |   20 |
    |    3 | jack  |   30 |
    |    4 | lock  |   40 |
    +------+-------+------+

Query data in nested documents of ApsaraDB for MongoDB

Sample data

In this example, a collection named test_json is created in the test_mongodb database of the ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance.

db.createCollection("test_json");

A document is inserted into the test_json collection. The city and name fields are nested fields.

db.test_json.insert(    {
        'id': 1,
        'details':{'city': "hangzhou", "name":"jack"}
    })

Procedure

  1. Go to the SQL editor.
    1. Log on to the AnalyticDB for MySQL console.
    2. In the upper-left corner of the page, select the region where the cluster resides.
    3. In the left-side navigation pane, click Clusters.
    4. On the Data Lakehouse Edition (V3.0) tab, find the cluster and click the Cluster ID.
    5. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Job Development > SQL Development.
  2. Execute the following statement to create an external database:
    CREATE EXTERNAL DATABASE adb_external_db;
  3. Create an external table.

    Important
    • The AnalyticDB for MySQL external table must have the same names, quantity, order, and data types of fields as the ApsaraDB for MongoDB collection.

    • You cannot use external tables to import data to nested documents of ApsaraDB for MongoDB.

    CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE adb_external_db.test_json (
      id int,
      city string,
      name string
    ) ENGINE = 'MONGODB' TABLE_PROPERTIES ='{
    "mapped_name":"test_json",
    "location":"mongodb://testuser:****@dds-bp113d414bca8****.mongodb.rds.aliyuncs.com:3717,dds-bp113d414bca8****.mongodb.rds.aliyuncs.com:3717/test_mongodb",
    "username":"testuser",
    "password":"password",
    "COLUMN_MAPPING":"city,details.city;name,details.name",
    }';

    Parameters:

    • COLUMN_MAPPING: defines the mappings between external table fields and ApsaraDB for MongoDB document fields. For example, a mapping between the city field of the external table and the details.city field of the ApsaraDB for MongoDB document is created.

    • For information about other parameters that are used to create an external table, see the "Parameters" table of this topic.

  4. Query data.

    After the external table is created, you can execute the SELECT statement to query data of the test_json collection.

    SELECT * FROM adb_external_db.test_json;

    Sample result:

    +------+----------+-------+
    | id   |  city    |  name |
    +------+----------+-------+
    |    1 | hangzhou |  jack |
    +------+----------+-------+
    Note

    To import data from nested documents of ApsaraDB for MongoDB to AnalyticDB for MySQL, you must create a database and a table first. For more information, see Steps 5 to 7 in the "Import data from non-nested documents of ApsaraDB for MongoDB" section of this topic.

Query data of ObjectId fields

Sample data

In this example, a collection named test_objectid is created in the test_mongodb database of the ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance.

db.createCollection("test_objectid");

A document is inserted into the test_objectid collection.

db.test_objectid.insert(    {
        'id': 1,
    })

Data of the test_objectid collection is queried.

db.test_objectid.find()

Sample result:

{
   "_id":"ObjectId("641002ad883a73eb0d7291a7")"
   "id":1
}

Procedure

  1. Go to the SQL editor.
    1. Log on to the AnalyticDB for MySQL console.
    2. In the upper-left corner of the page, select the region where the cluster resides.
    3. In the left-side navigation pane, click Clusters.
    4. On the Data Lakehouse Edition (V3.0) tab, find the cluster and click the Cluster ID.
    5. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Job Development > SQL Development.
  2. Execute the following statement to create an external database:
    CREATE EXTERNAL DATABASE adb_external_db;
  3. Create an external table.

    Important

    The AnalyticDB for MySQL external table must have the same names, quantity, order, and data types of fields as the ApsaraDB for MongoDB collection.

    CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE adb_external_db.test_objectid (
      id int,
      _id objectid
    ) ENGINE = 'MONGODB' TABLE_PROPERTIES ='{
    "mapped_name":"test_objectid",
    "location":"mongodb://testuser:****@dds-bp113d414bca8****.mongodb.rds.aliyuncs.com:3717,dds-bp113d414bca8****.mongodb.rds.aliyuncs.com:3717/test_mongodb",
    "username":"testuser",
    "password":"password",
    }';
  4. Query data.

    After the external table is created, you can execute the SELECT statement to query data of the test_objectid collection.

    SELECT cast(_id as string) FROM adb_external_db.test_objectid;

    Sample result:

    +----------------------------+
    |    CAST(_id AS string)     | 
    +----------------------------+
    |  641002ad883a73eb0d7291a7  |
