<ol>
<li><strong>Pulsar distribution</strong>
<ul>
<li>If you haven't install Pulsar, please reference <a href="/docs/en/2.3.0/io-quickstart#installing-pulsar">Installing Pulsar</a></li>
</ul></li>
<li><strong>Pulsar built-in connectors</strong>
<ul>
<li>If you haven't installed the built-in connectors, please reference <a href="/docs/en/2.3.0/io-quickstart#installing-builtin-connectors">Installing Builtin Connectors</a></li>
</ul></li>
</ol>
<p>First, start a Pulsar standalone cluster:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-bash">./bin/pulsar standalone
</code></pre>
<p>Next, start a Pulsar SQL worker:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-bash">./bin/pulsar sql-worker run
</code></pre>
<p>After both the Pulsar standalone cluster and the SQL worker are done initializing, run the SQL CLI:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-bash">./bin/pulsar sql
</code></pre>
<p>You can now start typing some SQL commands:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-bash">presto&gt; show catalogs;

<p>Currently, there is no data in Pulsar that we can query.  Lets start the built-in connector <em>DataGeneratorSource</em> to ingest some mock data for us to query:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-bash">./bin/pulsar-admin <span class="hljs-built_in">source</span> create --tenant public --namespace default --name generator --destinationTopicName generator_test --<span class="hljs-built_in">source</span>-type data-generator
</code></pre>
<p>Afterwards, the will be a topic with can query in the namespace &quot;public/default&quot;:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-bash">presto&gt; show tables <span class="hljs-keyword">in</span> pulsar.<span class="hljs-string">"public/default"</span>;

<p>Now, you have some mock data to query and play around with!</p>
<p>If you want to try to ingest some of your own data to play around with, you can write a simple producer to write custom defined data to Pulsar.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-java">public class TestProducer {

    public static class Foo {
        private int field1 = 1;
        private String field2;
        private long field3;

        public Foo() {
        }

        public int getField1() {
            return field1;
        }

        public void setField1(int field1) {
            this.field1 = field1;
        }

        public String getField2() {
            return field2;
        }

        public void setField2(String field2) {
            this.field2 = field2;
        }

        public long getField3() {
            return field3;
        }

        public void setField3(long field3) {
            this.field3 = field3;
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        PulsarClient pulsarClient = PulsarClient.builder().serviceUrl("pulsar://localhost:6650").build();
        Producer&lt;Foo&gt; producer = pulsarClient.newProducer(AvroSchema.of(Foo.class)).topic("test_topic").create();

        for (int i = 0; i &lt; 1000; i++) {
            Foo foo = new Foo();
            foo.setField1(i);
            foo.setField2("foo" + i);
            foo.setField3(System.currentTimeMillis());
            producer.newMessage().value(foo).send();
        }
        producer.close();
        pulsarClient.close();
    }
}
</code></pre>
<p>Afterwards, you should be able query the data you just wrote.</p>
