spanner-mycli

My personal fork of spanner-cli, interactive command line tool for Cloud Spanner.

Description

spanner-mycli is an interactive command line tool for Google Cloud Spanner.
You can control your Spanner databases with idiomatic SQL commands.

Differences from original spanner-cli

  • Respects my minor use cases
  • Respects training and verification use-cases.
    • gRPC logging(--log-grpc)
    • Support mutations
  • Respects batch use cases as well as interactive use cases
  • More gcloud spanner databases execute-sql compatibilities
    • Support compatible flags (--sql, --query-mode, --strong, --read-timestamp)
  • More gcloud spanner databases ddl update compatibilities
  • Generalized concepts to extend without a lot of original syntax
    • Generalized system variables concept inspired by Spanner JDBC properties
      • SET <name> = <value> statement
      • SHOW VARIABLES statement
      • SHOW VARIABLE <name> statement
      • --set <name>=<value> flag
  • Improved interactive experience
    • Use hymkor/go-multiline-ny instead of chzyer/readline"
      • Native multi-line editing
    • Improved prompt
      • Use % for prompt expansion, instead of \ to avoid escaping
      • Allow newlines in prompt using %n
      • System variables expansion
      • Prompt2 with margin and waiting status
    • Autowrap and auto adjust column width to fit within terminal width.
    • Progress bar of DDL execution.
  • Utilize other libraries

Disclaimer

Do not use this tool for production databases as the tool is experimental/alpha quality forever.

Authentication

Unless you specify a credential file with --credential, this tool uses Application Default Credentials as credential source to connect to Spanner databases.

Please make sure to prepare your credential by gcloud auth application-default login.

If you're running spanner-mycli in docker container on your local machine, you have to pass local credentials to the container with the following command.

docker run -it \
  -e GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/tmp/credentials.json \
  -v $HOME/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json:/tmp/credentials.json:ro \
  spanner-mycli --help
$ docker run -it \
    -v $HOME/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json:/home/nonroot/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json:ro \
    ghcr.io/apstndb/spanner-mycli --help

Example

Interactive mode

$ spanner-mycli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydb
Connected.
spanner> CREATE TABLE users (
      ->   id INT64 NOT NULL,
      ->   name STRING(16) NOT NULL,
      ->   active BOOL NOT NULL
      -> ) PRIMARY KEY (id);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (30.60 sec)

spanner> BEGIN;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

spanner(rw txn)> DELETE FROM users WHERE active = false;
Query OK, 1 rows affected (0.61 sec)

spanner(rw txn)> COMMIT;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.20 sec)

spanner> SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY id ASC;
+----+------+--------+
| id | name | active |
+----+------+--------+
| 1  | foo  | true   |
+----+------+--------+
1 rows in set (2.58 msecs)

spanner> DROP TABLE users;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (25.20 sec)

spanner> SHOW TABLES;
Empty set (2.02 msecs)

spanner> EXIT;
Bye

Batch mode

By passing SQL from standard input, spanner-mycli runs in batch mode.

$ echo 'SELECT * FROM users;' | spanner-mycli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydb
id      name    active
1       foo     true
2       bar     false

You can also pass SQL with command line option -e.

$ spanner-mycli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydb -e 'SELECT * FROM users;'
id      name    active
1       foo     true
2       bar     false

With -t option, results are displayed in table format.

$ spanner-mycli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydb -e 'SELECT * FROM users;' -t
+----+------+--------+
| id | name | active |
+----+------+--------+
| 1  | foo  | true   |
| 2  | bar  | false  |
+----+------+--------+

Directed reads mode

spanner-mycli now supports directed reads, a feature that allows you to read data from a specific replica of a Spanner database. To use directed reads with spanner-mycli, you need to specify the --directed-read flag. The --directed-read flag takes a single argument, which is the name of the replica that you want to read from. The replica name can be specified in one of the following formats:

  • <replica_location>
  • <replica_location>:<replica_type>

The <replica_location> specifies the region where the replica is located such as us-central1, asia-northeast2.
The <replica_type> specifies the type of the replica either READ_WRITE or READ_ONLY.

$ spanner-mycli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydb --directed-read us-central1

$ spanner-mycli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydb --directed-read us-central1:READ_ONLY

$ spanner-mycli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydb --directed-read asia-northeast2:READ_WRITE

Directed reads are only effective for single queries or queries within a read-only transaction. Please note that directed read options do not apply to queries within a read-write transaction.

Note

If you specify an incorrect region or type for directed reads, directed reads will not be enabled and your requsts won't be routed as expected. For example, in a multi-region configuration nam3, if you mistype us-east1 as us-east-1, the connection will succeed, but directed reads will not be enabled.

To perform directed reads to asia-northeast2 in a multi-region configuration asia1, you need to specify asia-northeast2 or asia-northeast2:READ_WRITE. Since the replicas placed in asia-northeast2 are READ_WRITE replicas, directed reads will not be enabled if you specify asia-northeast2:READ_ONLY.

Please refer to the Spanner documentation to verify the valid configurations.

Syntax

In the following syntax, we use <> for a placeholder, [] for an optional keyword, and {} for a mutually exclusive keyword.

  • The syntax is case-insensitive.
  • \G delimiter is also supported for displaying results vertically.

Customize prompt

You can customize the prompt by --prompt option or CLI_PROMPT system variable.
There are some escape sequences for being used in prompt.

Escape sequences:

  • %p : GCP Project ID
  • %i : Cloud Spanner Instance ID
  • %d : Cloud Spanner Database ID
  • %t : In transaction mode (ro txn) or (rw txn)
  • %n : Newline
  • %% : Character %
  • %{VAR_NAME} : System variable expansion

Example:

$ spanner-mycli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydb --prompt='[%p:%i:%d]%n\t%% '
Connected.
[myproject:myinstance:mydb]
%
[myproject:myinstance:mydb]
% SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY id ASC;
+----+------+--------+
| id | name | active |
+----+------+--------+
| 1  | foo  | true   |
| 2  | bar  | false  |
+----+------+--------+
2 rows in set (3.09 msecs)

[myproject:myinstance:mydb]
% begin;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec)

[myproject:myinstance:mydb]
(rw txn)% ...

The default prompt is spanner%t> .

Prompt2

  • %P is substituted with padding to align the primary prompt.
  • %R is substituted with the current waiting status.
Prompt Meaning
- Waiting for terminating multi-line query by ;
''' Waiting for terminating multi-line single-quoted string literal by '''
""" Waiting for terminating multi-line double-quoted string literal by """
/* Waiting for terminating multi-line comment by */
spanner> SELECT """
    """> test
    """> """ AS s,
      -> '''
    '''> test
    '''> ''' AS s2,
      -> /*
     /*> 
     /*> */
      -> ;

The default prompt2 is %P%R> .

Config file

This tool supports a configuration file called spanner_mycli.cnf, similar to my.cnf.
The config file path must be ~/.spanner_mycli.cnf. In the config file, you can set default option values for command line options.

Example:

[spanner]
project = myproject
instance = myinstance
prompt = "[%p:%i:%d]%t> "

Configuration Precedence

  1. Command line flags(highest)
  2. Environment variables
  3. .spanner_mycli.cnf in current directory
  4. .spanner_mycli.cnf in home directory(lowest)

Request Priority

You can set request priority for command level or transaction level. By default MEDIUM priority is used for every request.

To set a priority for command line level, you can use --priority={HIGH|MEDIUM|LOW} command line option or CLI_PRIORITY system variable.

To set a priority for transaction level, you can use PRIORITY {HIGH|MEDIUM|LOW} keyword.

Here are some examples for transaction-level priority.

# Read-write transaction with low priority
BEGIN PRIORITY LOW;

# Read-only transaction with low priority
BEGIN RO PRIORITY LOW;

# Read-only transaction with 60s stale read and medium priority
BEGIN RO 60 PRIORITY MEDIUM;

# Read-only transaction with exact timestamp and medium priority
BEGIN RO 2021-04-01T23:47:44+00:00 PRIORITY MEDIUM;

Note that transaction-level priority takes precedence over command-level priority.

Transaction Tags and Request Tags

You can set transaction tag using SET TRANSACTION_TAG = "<tag>", and request tag using SET STATEMENT_TAG = "<tag>". Note: TRANSACTION_TAG is effective only in the current transaction and STATEMENT_TAG is effective only in the next query.

+------------------------------+
| BEGIN;                       |
| SET TRANSACTION_TAG = "tx1"; |
|                              |
| SET STATEMENT_TAG = "req1";  |
| SELECT val                   |
| FROM tab1      +--------------transaction_tag = tx1, request_tag = req1
| WHERE id = 1;                |
|                              |
| SELECT *                     |
| FROM tab1;     +--------------transaction_tag = tx1
|                              |
| SET STATEMENT_TAG = "req2";  |
|                              |
| UPDATE tab1                  |
| SET val = 10   +--------------transaction_tag = tx1, request_tag = req2
| WHERE id = 1;                |
|                              |
| COMMIT;        +--------------transaction_tag = tx1
|                              |
| BEGIN;                       |
| SELECT 1;                    |
| COMMIT;        +--------------no transaction_tag
+------------------------------+

Using with the Cloud Spanner Emulator

This tool supports the Cloud Spanner Emulator via the SPANNER_EMULATOR_HOST environment variable.

$ export SPANNER_EMULATOR_HOST=localhost:9010
# Or with gcloud env-init:
$ $(gcloud emulators spanner env-init)

$ spanner-mycli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydb

# Or use --endpoint with --insecure
$ unset SPANNER_EMULATOR_HOST
$ spanner-mycli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydb --endpoint=localhost:9010 --insecure

memefish integration

spanner-mycli utilizes memefish as:

  • statement type detector
  • comment stripper
  • statement separator

Statement type detector behavior can be controlled by CLI_PARSE_MODE system variable.

CLI_PARSE_MODE Description
FALLBACK Use memefish but fallback if error
NO_MEMEFISH Don't use memefish
MEMEFISH_ONLY Use memefish and don't fallback

Mutations support

spanner-mycli supports mutations.

Mutations are buffered in read-write transaction, or immediately commit outside explicit transaction.

Write mutations

MUTATE <table_fqn> {INSERT|UPDATE|REPLACE|INSERT_OR_UPDATE} {<struct_literal> | <array_of_struct_literal>};

Delete mutations

MUTATE <table_fqn> DELETE ALL;
MUTATE <table_fqn> DELETE {<tuple_struct_literal> | <array_of_tuple_struct_literal>};
MUTATE <table_fqn> DELETE KEY_RANGE({start_closed | start_open} => <tuple_struct_literal>,
                                    {end_closed | end_open} => <tuple_struct_literal>);

Note: In this context, parenthesized expression and some simple literals are treated as a single field struct literal.

Examples of mutations

Example schema

CREATE TABLE MutationTest (PK INT64, Col INT64) PRIMARY KEY(PK);
CREATE TABLE MutationTest2 (PK1 INT64, PK2 STRING(MAX), Col INT64) PRIMARY KEY(PK1, PK2);
Examples of Write mutations

Insert a single row with key(1).

MUTATE MutationTest INSERT STRUCT(1 AS PK);

Insert or update four rows with keys(1, "foo", 1, "n", 1, "m", 50, "foobar").

MUTATE MutationTest2 INSERT_OR_UPDATE [STRUCT(1 AS PK1, "foo" AS PK2, 0 AS Col), (1, "n", 1), (1, "m", 3), (50, "foobar", 4)];
Examples of Delete mutations

Delete all rows in MutationTest table.

MUTATE MutationTest DELETE ALL;

Delete rows with PK (1) in MutationTest table.

MUTATE MutationTest DELETE (1);

Delete a single row with PK (1, "foo") in MutationTest2 table.

MUTATE MutationTest2 DELETE (1, "foo");

Delete two rows with PK (1, "foo", 2, "bar") in MutationTest2 table.

MUTATE MutationTest2 DELETE [(1, "foo"), (2, "bar")];

Delete rows between (1, "a") <= PK < (1, "n") in MutationTest2 table

MUTATE MutationTest2 DELETE KEY_RANGE(start_closed => (1, "a"), end_open => (1, "n"));

Query parameter support

Many Cloud Spanner clients don't support query parameters.

If you do not modify the query, you will not be able to execute queries that contain query parameters, and you will not be able to view the query plan for queries with parameter types STRUCT or ARRAY.

spanner-mycli solves this problem by supporting query parameters.

You can define query parameters using command line option --param or SET commands. It supports type notation or literal value notation in GoogleSQL.

Note: They are supported on the best effort basis, and type conversions are not supported.

Query parameters definition using --param option

$ spanner-mycli \
                --param='array_type=ARRAY<STRUCT<FirstName STRING, LastName STRING>>' \
                --param='array_value=[STRUCT("Marc" AS FirstName, "Richards" AS LastName), ("Catalina", "Smith")]'

You can see defined query parameters using SHOW PARAMS; command.

> SHOW PARAMS;
+-------------+------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Param_Name  | Param_Kind | Param_Value                                                       |
+-------------+------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| array_value | VALUE      | [STRUCT("Marc" AS FirstName, "Richards" AS LastName), ("Catalina", "Smith")] |
| array_type  | TYPE       | ARRAY<STRUCT<FirstName STRING, LastName STRING>>                  |
+-------------+------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
Empty set (0.00 sec)

You can use value query parameters in any statement.

> SELECT * FROM Singers WHERE STRUCT(FirstName, LastName) IN UNNEST(@array_value);
+----------+-----------+----------+------------+------------+
| SingerId | FirstName | LastName | SingerInfo | BirthDate  |
+----------+-----------+----------+------------+------------+

+----------+-----------+----------+------------+------------+
2 rows in set (7.8 msecs)

You can use type query parameters only in EXPLAIN or DESCRIBE without value.

Partition Queries

spanner-mycli have some partition queries functionality.

Test root-partitionable

You can test whether the query is root-partitionable using TRY PARTITIONED QUERY command.

spanner> TRY PARTITIONED QUERY SELECT * FROM Singers;
+--------------------+
| Root_Partitionable |
+--------------------+
| TRUE               |
+--------------------+
1 rows in set (0.78 sec)

spanner> TRY PARTITIONED QUERY SELECT * FROM Singers ORDER BY SingerId;
ERROR: query can't be a partition query: rpc error: code = InvalidArgument desc = Query is not root partitionable since it does not have a DistributedUnion at the root. Please check the conditions for a query to be root-partitionable.
error details: name = Help desc = Conditions for a query to be root-partitionable. url = https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/reads#read_data_in_parallel

Show partition tokens.

You can show partition tokens using PARTITION command.

Note: spanner-mycli does not clean up batch read-only transactions, which may prevent resources from being freed until they time out.

spanner> PARTITION SELECT * FROM Singers;
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

How to develop

Run unit tests.

$ make test

Note: It requires Docker because integration tests using testcontainers.

Or run test except integration tests.

$ make fasttest

Incompatibilities from spanner-cli

In principle, spanner-mycli accepts the same input as spanner-cli, but some compatibility is intentionally not maintained.

  • BEGIN RW TAG <tag> and BEGIN RO TAG <tag> are no longer supported.
  • \G is no longer supported.
  • \ is no longer used for prompt expansions.
    • Use % instead.
    • Rationale: \ is needed to be escaped in ini files of jassevdk/go-flags.

TODO

  • Show secondary index by "SHOW CREATE TABLE"
