Write data to MatrixOne using DataX

This article describes how to write TiDB data offline to a MatrixOne database using the DataX tool.

Prepare before you start

Before you can start writing data to MatrixOne using DataX, you need to complete the installation of the following software:

Operational steps

Creating Test Data in TiDB

CREATE TABLE `tidb_dx` (
    `id` bigint(20) NOT NULL,
    `name` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
    `salary` decimal(10,0) DEFAULT NULL,
    `age` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
    `entrytime` date DEFAULT NULL,
    `gender` char(1) DEFAULT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);

insert into testdx2tidb values
(1,"lisa",15660,30,'2022-10-12',0),
(2,"tom",15060,24,'2021-11-10',1),
(3,"jenny",15000,28,'2024-02-19',0),
(4,"henry",12660,24,'2022-04-22',1);

Creating a Target Table in MatrixOne

Since DataX can only synchronize data, not table structure, we need to manually create the table in the target database (MatrixOne) before we can perform the task.

CREATE TABLE `testdx2tidb` (
    `id` bigint(20) NOT NULL COMMENT "",
    `name` varchar(100) NULL COMMENT "",
    `salary` decimal(10, 0) NULL COMMENT "",
    `age` int(11) NULL COMMENT "",
    `entrytime` date NULL COMMENT "",
    `gender` varchar(1) NULL COMMENT "",
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);

Configure the json file

tidb can be read directly using mysqlreader. in the job directory of datax. Edit the configuration file tidb2mo.json:

{
   "job": {
        "setting": {
            "speed": {
                 "channel": 1
            },
            "errorLimit": {
                "record": 0,
                "percentage": 0
            }
        },
        "content": [
            {

                                "table": [ "tidb_dx" ],
                                "jdbcUrl": [
                                   "jdbc:mysql://xx.xx.xx.xx:4000/test"
                                ]
                            }
                        ]
                    }
                },
                "writer": {
                     "name": "matrixonewriter",
                    "parameter": {
                        "column": ["*"],
                        "connection": [
                            {
                                "jdbcUrl": "jdbc:mysql://xx.xx.xx.xx:6001/test",
                                "table": ["testdx2tidb"]
                            }
                        ],
                        "password": "111",
                        "username": "root",
                        "writeMode": "insert"
                    }
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}
