INSERT
INSERT
Name
INSERT
Description
The change statement is to complete the data insertion operation.
INSERT INTO table_name
[ PARTITION (p1, ...) ]
[ WITH LABEL label]
[ (column [, ...]) ]
[ [ hint [, ...] ] ]
{ VALUES ( { expression | DEFAULT } [, ...] ) [, ...] | query }
Parameters
tablet_name: The destination table for importing data. Can be of the form
db_name.table_name
partitions: Specify the partitions to be imported, which must be partitions that exist in
table_name
. Multiple partition names are separated by commaslabel: specify a label for the Insert task
column_name: The specified destination column, must be a column that exists in
table_name
expression: the corresponding expression that needs to be assigned to a column
DEFAULT: let the corresponding column use the default value
query: a common query, the result of the query will be written to the target
hint: some indicator used to indicate the execution behavior of
INSERT
. You can choose one of this values:/*+ STREAMING */
,/*+ SHUFFLE */
or `/+ NOSHUFFLE /.
- STREAMING: At present, it has no practical effect and is only reserved for compatibility with previous versions. (In the previous version, adding this hint would return a label, but now it defaults to returning a label)
- SHUFFLE: When the target table is a partition table, enabling this hint will do repartiiton.
- NOSHUFFLE: Even if the target table is a partition table, repartiiton will not be performed, but some other operations will be performed to ensure that the data is correctly dropped into each partition.
Notice:
When executing the INSERT
statement, the default behavior is to filter the data that does not conform to the target table format, such as the string is too long. However, for business scenarios that require data not to be filtered, you can set the session variable enable_insert_strict
to true
to ensure that INSERT
will not be executed successfully when data is filtered out.
Example
The test
table contains two columns c1
, c2
.
- Import a row of data into the
test
table
INSERT INTO test VALUES (1, 2);
INSERT INTO test (c1, c2) VALUES (1, 2);
INSERT INTO test (c1, c2) VALUES (1, DEFAULT);
INSERT INTO test (c1) VALUES (1);
The first and second statements have the same effect. When no target column is specified, the column order in the table is used as the default target column.
The third and fourth statements express the same meaning, use the default value of the c2
column to complete the data import.
- Import multiple rows of data into the
test
table at one time
INSERT INTO test VALUES (1, 2), (3, 2 + 2);
INSERT INTO test (c1, c2) VALUES (1, 2), (3, 2 * 2);
INSERT INTO test (c1) VALUES (1), (3);
INSERT INTO test (c1, c2) VALUES (1, DEFAULT), (3, DEFAULT);
The first and second statements have the same effect, import two pieces of data into the test
table at one time
The effect of the third and fourth statements is known, and the default value of the c2
column is used to import two pieces of data into the test
table
- Import a query result into the
test
table
INSERT INTO test SELECT * FROM test2;
INSERT INTO test (c1, c2) SELECT * from test2;
- Import a query result into the
test
table, specifying the partition and label
INSERT INTO test PARTITION(p1, p2) WITH LABEL `label1` SELECT * FROM test2;
INSERT INTO test WITH LABEL `label1` (c1, c2) SELECT * from test2;
Asynchronous import is actually a synchronous import encapsulated into asynchronous. Filling in streaming and not filling in execution efficiency is the same.
Since the previous import methods of Doris are all asynchronous import methods, in order to be compatible with the old usage habits, the INSERT
statement without streaming will still return a label. Users need to view the label
import job through the SHOW LOAD
command. state.

Best Practice
View the returned results
The INSERT operation is a synchronous operation, and the return of the result indicates the end of the operation. Users need to perform corresponding processing according to the different returned results.
The execution is successful, the result set is empty
If the result set of the insert corresponding to the select statement is empty, it will return as follows:
mysql> insert into tbl1 select * from empty_tbl;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)Query OK
indicates successful execution.0 rows affected
means that no data was imported.The execution is successful, the result set is not empty
In the case where the result set is not empty. The returned results are divided into the following situations:
Insert executes successfully and is visible:
mysql> insert into tbl1 select * from tbl2;
Query OK, 4 rows affected (0.38 sec)
{'label':'insert_8510c568-9eda-4173-9e36-6adc7d35291c', 'status':'visible', 'txnId':'4005'}
mysql> insert into tbl1 with label my_label1 select * from tbl2;
Query OK, 4 rows affected (0.38 sec)
{'label':'my_label1', 'status':'visible', 'txnId':'4005'}
mysql> insert into tbl1 select * from tbl2;
Query OK, 2 rows affected, 2 warnings (0.31 sec)
{'label':'insert_f0747f0e-7a35-46e2-affa-13a235f4020d', 'status':'visible', 'txnId':'4005'}
mysql> insert into tbl1 select * from tbl2;
Query OK, 2 rows affected, 2 warnings (0.31 sec)
{'label':'insert_f0747f0e-7a35-46e2-affa-13a235f4020d', 'status':'committed', 'txnId':'4005'}Query OK
indicates successful execution.4 rows affected
means that a total of 4 rows of data were imported.2 warnings
indicates the number of lines to be filtered.Also returns a json string:
{'label':'my_label1', 'status':'visible', 'txnId':'4005'}
{'label':'insert_f0747f0e-7a35-46e2-affa-13a235f4020d', 'status':'committed', 'txnId':'4005'}
{'label':'my_label1', 'status':'visible', 'txnId':'4005', 'err':'some other error'}label
is a user-specified label or an automatically generated label. Label is the ID of this Insert Into import job. Each import job has a unique Label within a single database.status
indicates whether the imported data is visible. Showvisible
if visible,committed
if not visible.txnId
is the id of the import transaction corresponding to this insert.The
err
field shows some other unexpected errors.When you need to view the filtered rows, the user can pass the following statement
show load where label="xxx";
The URL in the returned result can be used to query the wrong data. For details, see the summary of Viewing Error Lines later.
Invisibility of data is a temporary state, this batch of data will eventually be visible
You can view the visible status of this batch of data with the following statement:
show transaction where id=4005;
If the
TransactionStatus
column in the returned result isvisible
, the representation data is visible.
Execution failed
Execution failure indicates that no data was successfully imported, and the following is returned:
mysql> insert into tbl1 select * from tbl2 where k1 = "a";
ERROR 1064 (HY000): all partitions have no load data. url: http://10.74.167.16:8042/api/_load_error_log?file=__shard_2/error_log_insert_stmt_ba8bb9e158e4879-ae8de8507c0bf8a2_ba8bb9e158e4879_ae8de8507c0Where
ERROR 1064 (HY000): all partitions have no load data
shows the reason for the failure. The following url can be used to query the wrong data:show load warnings on "url";
You can view the specific error line.
Timeout time
The timeout for INSERT operations is controlled by session variable
insert_timeout
. The default is 4 hours. If it times out, the job will be canceled.Label and atomicity
The INSERT operation also guarantees the atomicity of imports, see the Import Transactions and Atomicity documentation.
When using
CTE(Common Table Expressions)
as the query part in an insert operation, theWITH LABEL
andcolumn
parts must be specified.Filter Threshold
Unlike other import methods, INSERT operations cannot specify a filter threshold (
max_filter_ratio
). The default filter threshold is 1, which means that rows with errors can be ignored.For business scenarios that require data not to be filtered, you can set session variable
enable_insert_strict
totrue
to ensure that when there is data When filtered out,INSERT
will not be executed successfully.Performance issues
There is no single row insertion using the
VALUES
method. If you must use it this way, combine multiple rows of data into one INSERT statement for bulk commit.
