Create a SparkDataFrame representing the database table accessible via JDBC URL

Additional JDBC database connection properties can be set (...) You can find the JDBC-specific option and parameter documentation for reading tables via JDBC in https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-data-sources-jdbc.html#data-source-optionData Source Option in the version you use.

Usage

read.jdbc(
  url,
  tableName,
  partitionColumn = NULL,
  lowerBound = NULL,
  upperBound = NULL,
  numPartitions = 0L,
  predicates = list(),
  ...
)

Arguments

url: JDBC database url of the form jdbc:subprotocol:subname
tableName: the name of the table in the external database
partitionColumn: the name of a column of numeric, date, or timestamp type that will be used for partitioning.
lowerBound: the minimum value of partitionColumn used to decide partition stride
upperBound: the maximum value of partitionColumn used to decide partition stride
numPartitions: the number of partitions, This, along with lowerBound (inclusive), upperBound (exclusive), form partition strides for generated WHERE clause expressions used to split the column partitionColumn evenly. This defaults to SparkContext.defaultParallelism when unset.
predicates: a list of conditions in the where clause; each one defines one partition
...: additional JDBC database connection named properties.

Value

SparkDataFrame

Details

Only one of partitionColumn or predicates should be set. Partitions of the table will be retrieved in parallel based on the numPartitions or by the predicates.

Don't create too many partitions in parallel on a large cluster; otherwise Spark might crash your external database systems.

Note

read.jdbc since 2.0.0

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
sparkR.session()
jdbcUrl <- "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/databasename"
df <- read.jdbc(jdbcUrl, "table", predicates = list("field<=123"), user = "username")
df2 <- read.jdbc(jdbcUrl, "table2", partitionColumn = "index", lowerBound = 0,
                 upperBound = 10000, user = "username", password = "password")
} # }
