| |
| <p>Spark SQL is Apache Spark’s module for working with structured data. The SQL Syntax section describes the SQL syntax in detail along with usage examples when applicable. This document provides a list of Data Definition and Data Manipulation Statements, as well as Data Retrieval and Auxiliary Statements.</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="ddl-statements">DDL Statements</h3> |
| |
| <p>Data Definition Statements are used to create or modify the structure of database objects in a database. Spark SQL supports the following Data Definition Statements:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="sql-ref-syntax-ddl-alter-database.html">ALTER DATABASE</a></li> |
| <li><a href="sql-ref-syntax-ddl-alter-table.html">ALTER TABLE</a></li> |
| <li><a href="sql-ref-syntax-ddl-alter-view.html">ALTER VIEW</a></li> |
| <li><a href="sql-ref-syntax-ddl-create-database.html">CREATE DATABASE</a></li> |
| <li><a href="sql-ref-syntax-ddl-create-function.html">CREATE FUNCTION</a></li> |
| <li><a href="sql-ref-syntax-ddl-create-table.html">CREATE TABLE</a></li> |
| <li><a href="sql-ref-syntax-ddl-create-view.html">CREATE VIEW</a></li> |
| <li><a href="sql-ref-syntax-ddl-declare-variable.html">DECLARE VARIABLE</a></li> |
| <li><a href="sql-ref-syntax-ddl-drop-database.html">DROP DATABASE</a></li> |
| <li><a href="sql-ref-syntax-ddl-drop-function.html">DROP FUNCTION</a></li> |
| <li><a href="sql-ref-syntax-ddl-drop-table.html">DROP TABLE</a></li> |
| <li><a href="sql-ref-syntax-ddl-drop-variable.html">DROP TEMPORARY VARIABLE</a></li> |
| <li><a href="sql-ref-syntax-ddl-drop-view.html">DROP VIEW</a></li> |
| <li><a href="sql-ref-syntax-ddl-repair-table.html">REPAIR TABLE</a></li> |
| <li><a href="sql-ref-syntax-ddl-truncate-table.html">TRUNCATE TABLE</a></li> |
| <li><a href="sql-ref-syntax-ddl-usedb.html">USE DATABASE</a></li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h3 id="dml-statements">DML Statements</h3> |
| |
| <p>Data Manipulation Statements are used to add, change, or delete data. Spark SQL supports the following Data Manipulation Statements:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="sql-ref-syntax-dml-insert-table.html">INSERT TABLE</a></li> |
| <li><a href="sql-ref-syntax-dml-insert-overwrite-directory.html">INSERT OVERWRITE DIRECTORY</a></li> |
| <li><a href="sql-ref-syntax-dml-load.html">LOAD</a></li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h3 id="data-retrieval-statements">Data Retrieval Statements</h3> |
| |
| <p>Spark supports <code>SELECT</code> statement that is used to retrieve rows |
| from one or more tables according to the specified clauses. The full syntax |
| and brief description of supported clauses are explained in |
| <a href="sql-ref-syntax-qry-select.html">SELECT</a> section. The SQL statements related |
| to SELECT are also included in this section. Spark also provides the |
| ability to generate logical and physical plan for a given query using |
| <a href="sql-ref-syntax-qry-explain.html">EXPLAIN</a> statement.</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="sql-ref-syntax-qry-select.html">SELECT Statement</a> |
| <ul> |
