Executing Queries

This section describes how to execute queries using MySQL remoting from any tool that can connect to MySQL.

When executing queries, use a two-part name, in the format:

[<Schema Name>].[<Table Name>] 
where
  • Schema Name is the name of the system schema or user-defined schema. (This is normally the service name.)
  • Table Name is the name of the table you are copying data from.

SELECT Statements

To create new records:
SELECT * FROM [API].[NorthwindOData] WHERE Email = '[email protected]' 
Note: MySQL treats identifiers as case-insensitive, even if the data source supports case-sensitive identifiers. This can be a problem when the database contains multiple tables of the same name in a single schema, because when using MySQL it is not possible to query tables of the same name that only vary by upper or lower case-sensitive (for example, a schema with one table named Account, and a second table named ACCOUNT).

INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE Statements

To insert, update, or delete a single row of data against a writeable database, use the two-part name. For example:
INSERT INTO [API].[NorthwindOData] (Email) VALUES ('[email protected]'); 

Bulk Operations

To perform bulk operations, use syntax similar to the following:

You can run a bulk INSERT using a SELECT query in place of a VALUES list.

INSERT INTO [API].[NorthwindOData] ([Email]) 
SELECT [Email] FROM [Local_NorthwindOData] 
You can run a bulk UPATE using a JOIN with a local table.
UPDATE [API].[NorthwindOData]  
INNER JOIN [Local_NorthwindOData] ON [Local_NorthwindOData].[Id] = [API].[NorthwindOData].[Id] 
SET [API].[NorthwindOData].[Email].[Local_Email] 
You can run a bulk DELETE using the IN filter with sub-SELECT query.
DELETE FROM [API].[NorthwindOData WHERE [Id] IN (SELECT [Id] FROM Local_NorthwindOData) 

Execute Stored Procedures

To execute the stored procedure, use:
Call CreateJob('Insert')
