Query Vertica	Vertica	Use [`sql.from()`](/flux/v0.x/stdlib/sql/from/) with the `vertica` driver to query Vertica.	flux_0_x name parent Vertica SQL databases	101	/flux/v0.x/stdlib/sql/from/ /flux/v0.x/write-data/sql/vertica/	```js import "sql" sql.from( driverName: "vertica", dataSourceName: "vertica://username:password@localhost:5432", query: "SELECT * FROM public.example_table", ) ```

To query Vertica with Flux:

1. Import the sql package.

2. Use sql.from() and provide the following parameters:

   • driverName: vertica or vertigo
   • dataSourceName: See data source name
   • query: PSQL query to execute

import "sql"

sql.from(
    driverName: "vertica",
    dataSourceName: "vertica://username:password@localhost:5433/dbname",
    query: "SELECT * FROM public.example_table",
)

Vertica data source name

The vertica and vertigo drivers use the following DSN syntax (also known as a connection string):

vertica://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<database>?<queryArgs>

The vertica and vertigo drivers use the vertica/vertica-sql-go implementation. For information about supported DSN query arguments, see the vertica/vertica-sql-go documentation.

Vertica to Flux data type conversion

sql.from() converts Vertica data types to Flux data types.

Vertica data type	Flux data type
INT, INTEGER, BIGINT, SMALLINT, TINYINT, INT2, INT4, INT8, SERIAL2, SERIAL4, SERIAL8	int
FLOAT, FLOAT4, FLOAT8	float
DATE, TIME, TIMESTAMP	time
BOOL	bool
