# datafusion-postgres
Serving any CSV/JSON/Parquet/Arrow/Avro data files as Postgres tables, with
Datafusion.
This project is to add a [postgresql compatible access
layer](https://github.com/sunng87/pgwire) to the [Apache
Datafusion](https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion) query engine.
It was originally an example of the [pgwire](https://github.com/sunng87/pgwire)
project.
## Roadmap
This project is in its very early stage, feel free to join the development by
picking up unfinished items.
- [x] datafusion-postgres as a CLI tool
- [x] datafusion-postgres as a library
- [ ] datafusion information schema: a postgres compatible `information_schema`
- [ ] datafusion pg catalog: a postgres compatible `pg_catalog`
- [ ] data type mapping between arrow and postgres: in progress
- [ ] additional postgres functions for datafusion
## Usage
As a command-line application, this tool serves any JSON/CSV/Arrow/Parquet/Avro
files as table, and expose them via Postgres compatible protocol, with which you
can connect using psql or language drivers to execute `SELECT` queries against
them.
```
datafusion-postgres 0.1.0
A postgres interface for datatfusion. Serve any CSV/JSON/Arrow files as tables.
USAGE:
datafusion-postgres [OPTIONS]
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
--arrow <arrow-tables>... Arrow files to register as table, using syntax `table_name:file_path`
--avro <avro-tables>... Avro files to register as table, using syntax `table_name:file_path`
--csv <csv-tables>... CSV files to register as table, using syntax `table_name:file_path`
--json <json-tables>... JSON files to register as table, using syntax `table_name:file_path`
--parquet <parquet-tables>... Parquet files to register as table, using syntax `table_name:file_path`
```
For example, we use this command to host `ETTm1.csv` dataset as table `ettm1`.
```
datafusion-postgres -c ettm1:ETTm1.csv
Loaded ETTm1.csv as table ettm1
Listening to 127.0.0.1:5432
```
Then connect to it via `psql`:
```
psql -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5432 -U postgres
psql (16.2, server 0.20.0)
WARNING: psql major version 16, server major version 0.20.
Some psql features might not work.
Type "help" for help.
postgres=> select * from ettm1 limit 10;
