exportavro()

Read(508) Label: avro, avsc, data structure,

Description:

Export data to an Avro data file.

Syntax:

exportavro(avrofile,A/cs,Fi:Ti,...)

Note:

External library function (See External Library Guide).

 

The function exports data in a table sequence or a cursor to an Avro data file and returns a file object.

 

When parameter Ti is absent, esProc automatically identifies the data type according to Fi values of table sequence A or cursor cs. As Avro data files do not have time data type such as date, time and datetime, a field of such a data type needs to be specified as long type and values will be exported in milliseconds. For example, the exported value for 2023-11-29 00:45:24 is 1701189924000.

Parameter:

avrofile

Avro file object that cannot be omitted; do not support remote file objects such as httpfile() and Qfile()

A/cs

A table sequence/ cursor

Fi

Field name; export all fields by default

Ti

Specify data type of the to-be-exported field(s), which can be string, boolean, bytes, double, float, int and long

Option:
