Write to Vertica	Vertica	Use [`sql.to()`](/flux/v0/stdlib/sql/to/) with the `vertica` driver to write data to Vertica.	flux_v0 name parent identifier Vertica write-to-sql write-vertica	101	/flux/v0/stdlib/sql/to/ /flux/v0/query-data/sql/vertica/	```js import "sql" data |> sql.to( driverName: "vertica", dataSourceName: "vertica://username:password@localhost:5433/dbname", table: "public.example_table", ) ```

To write data to Vertica with Flux:

1. Import the sql package.

2. Pipe-forward data into sql.to() and provide the following parameters:

   • driverName: vertica or vertigo
   • dataSourceName: See data source name
   • table: Table to write to
   • batchSize: Number of parameters or columns that can be queued within each call to Exec (default is 10000)

import "sql"

data
    |> sql.to(
        driverName: "vertica",
        dataSourceName: "vertica://username:password@localhost:5433/dbname",
        table: "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.

Flux to Vertica data type conversion

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

Flux data type	Vertica data type
float	FLOAT
int	INTEGER
uint	INTEGER
string	VARCHAR
bool	BOOL
time	TIMESTAMP
