This topic describes how to run SQL commands in the MaxCompute client and export the results using Tunnel Download.
Prerequisites
Data has been imported into a MaxCompute table. For more information about how to import data, see Import data to tables.Background information
The MaxCompute client supports operations such as DDL, DML, and DQL.For a list of common SQL commands for the MaxCompute client, see List of common commands.
Step 1: Run SQL commands
- Query the non-partitioned table bank_data and the partitioned table bank_data_pt to find the number of single people with a housing loan, grouped by education level. Save the results to result_table1 and result_table2, respectively.
Command examples:
-- Query the number of single people with a housing loan at each education level in the non-partitioned table bank_data and write the query results to result_table1. insert overwrite table result_table1 select education, count(marital) as num from bank_data where housing = 'yes' and marital = 'single' group by education; -- Query the number of single people with a housing loan at each education level in the partitioned table bank_data_pt and write the query results to result_table2. set odps.sql.allow.fullscan=true; insert overwrite table result_table2 select education, count(marital) as num, credit from bank_data_pt where housing = 'yes' and marital = 'single' group by education, credit; - Query the data in result_table1 and result_table2.
Command examples:
The following results are returned.select * from result_table1; select * from result_table2;-- Data in result_table1. +------------+------------+ | education | num | +------------+------------+ | basic.4y | 227 | | basic.6y | 172 | | basic.9y | 709 | | high.school | 1641 | | illiterate | 1 | | professional.course | 785 | | university.degree | 2399 | | unknown | 257 | +------------+------------+ -- Data in result_table2. +------------+------------+------------+ | education | num | credit | +------------+------------+------------+ | basic.4y | 164 | no | | basic.4y | 63 | unknown | | basic.6y | 104 | no | | basic.6y | 68 | unknown | | basic.9y | 547 | no | | basic.9y | 162 | unknown | | high.school | 1469 | no | | high.school | 172 | unknown | | illiterate | 1 | unknown | | professional.course | 721 | no | | professional.course | 64 | unknown | | university.degree | 2203 | no | | university.degree | 196 | unknown | | unknown | 206 | no | | unknown | 51 | unknown | +------------+------------+------------+
Step 2: Export results
Export data from a MaxCompute table to your local machine using Tunnel Download. For more information about Tunnel operations, see Tunnel command. The procedure is as follows:
- Specify an export path for the data file.
You can export the data to the
bindirectory of the MaxCompute client by specifying only the filename, such asfilename.extension. Alternatively, specify a full path, such asD:\test\filename.extension, to export the data to a different location.This example exports data from result_table1 to the
bindirectory of the MaxCompute client, and data from result_table2 to the test folder on drive D. - In the MaxCompute client, run a Tunnel Download command to export the data.
Command examples:
The OK message in the output indicates that the export is successful.tunnel download result_table1 result_table1.txt; tunnel download result_table2 D:\test\result_table2.csv;odps@ doc_test_dev>tunnel download result_table2 D:\test\result_table2.csv; 2021-05-18 18:19:16 - new session: 202105181821291531f60b253e09d6 total lines: 15 2021-05-18 18:19:16 - file [0]: [0, 15), D:\test\result_table2.csv downloading 15 records into 1 file 2021-05-18 18:19:16 - file [0] start 2021-05-18 18:19:16 - file [0] OK. total: 337 bytes total: 337 bytes, time: 282 ms, average speed: 1,000 bytes/s download OK odps@ doc_test_dev> - In the export path, verify that the data files exist and are complete.
The data exported from result_table1 is as follows.
basic.4y,227 basic.6y,172 basic.9y,709 high.school,1641 illiterate,1 professional.course,785 university.degree,2399 unknown,257The exported file is saved in the
D:\testdirectory and is namedresult_table2.csv. A preview of the data shows that the columns correspond to the education level, count, and credit status, matching the data in result_table2.
Next steps
If you no longer need the sample data or the MaxCompute project, you can delete them to avoid incurring unnecessary charges. For more information about how to delete data or a MaxCompute project, see Delete a table or a MaxCompute project.
