问题
There's a project I'm working on, kind of a distributed Database thing.
I started by creating the conceptual schema, and I've partitioned the tables such that I may require to perform joins between tables in MySQL and PostgreSQL.
I know I can write some sort of middleware that will break down the SQL queries and issue sub-queries targeting individual DBs, and them merge the results, but I'd like to do do this using SQL if possible.
My search so far has yielded this (Federated storage engine for MySQL) but it seems to work for MySQL databases.
If it's possible, I'd appreciate some pointer's on what to look at, preferably in Python.
Thanks.
回答1:
From the postgres side, you can try using a foreign data wrapper such as mysql_ftw (example). Queries with joins can then be run through various Postgres clients, such as psql, pgAdmin, psycopg2 (for Python), etc.
回答2:
This is not possible with SQL.
Your options are to write your own "middleware" as you hinted at. To do that in Python, you would use the standard DB-API drivers for both databases and write individual queries; then merge their results. An ORM like sqlalchemy will go a long way to help with that.
The other option is to use an integration layer. There are many options out there, however, none that I know that are written in Python. mule esb, apache servicemix, wso2 and jboss metamatrix are some of the more popular ones.
