SQL Examples

This repository contains a collection of SQL examples for FeatureBase that demonstrate various types of queries supported by our OLAP database solution that leverages B-trees and Roaring Bitmaps. The purpose of this repository is to serve as a reference for users looking to understand and learn different SQL query patterns.

Documentation for FeatureBase SQL may be found here: https://docs.featurebase.com/

Structure

The repository is structured as follows:

sql-examples/
├── data/
│ ├── example1.sql
│ ├── example2.sql
│ └── ...
├── lib/
│ └── database.py
├── output.sql
└── README.md

The data/ directory contains a collection of .sql files, each representing a specific SQL query examples for a given table. These files are meant to showcase different query patterns and serve as a starting point for building more complex queries.
The lib/ directory contains the database.py module, which provides methods for generating new SQL queries. These methods can be used to create additional .sql files in the data/ directory.
The output.sql file is a log file generated by the database.py module. It records the SQL queries generated by the program.

We hope you find this repository helpful in exploring different SQL query patterns and generating queries for your own projects. If you have any questions or feedback, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Happy querying!

Example: Collatz Sequence Table

To create and populate the Collatz sequences in FeatureBase Cloud, get the token from Cloud first:

python3 fb_token.py

Put this token, along with the path of the endpoint in a file called config.py. Reference config.py.sample for the format.

Note that the /query/sql needs to be stripped from the end of the URL you use in the config file.

To run the Collatz sequence and write it into FeatureBase Cloud, do the following:

python3 collatz.py

Keep in mind a file named output.sql will be written to the project directory. This file may be moved into /data if you want to save it.

The result of a run will be a table called collatz_flotz in your account. This table may be queried via the Cloud UI.

Possible Queries

It would be interesting to build a query that traverses graphs.
