The SELECT
statement is used to select data from a table. It selects eligible data from the current log topic by default.
* | SELECT [Column name(KEY)]
Syntax Example
Select values with columns (KEY) being remote_addr
and method
from the log data:
* | SELECT remote_addr, method
Select all columns (KEY) from the log data:
SELECT
can also be followed by arithmetic expressions; for example, you can query the download speed of log data:
Download speed (speed
) = total number of bytes sent (body_bytes_sent
) / request time (request_time
)
* | SELECT body_bytes_sent / request_time AS speed
Column Naming Conventions
In SQL specifications, a column name consists of letters, digits, and underscores and starts with a letter, such as remote_addr
. If a field in a log has a non-compliant name, you need to surround the name by ""
. You can also specify an alias for the field with AS syntax in SQL. If a log field is named remote_addr
, which conforms to SQL's column naming conventions, it can be queried by SELECT:
If a log field is named __TAG__.pod_label_qcloud-app
, which does not conform to SQL's column naming conventions, it needs to be surrounded by ""
:
* | SELECT "__TAG__.pod_label_qcloud-app"
If a log field is named __TIMESTAMP__
, which does not conform to SQL's column naming conventions, it needs to be surrounded by ""
and specified with an alias through the AS syntax:
* | SELECT "__TIMESTAMP__" AS log_time
