Tips

Let's learn a weekly tip from Databend.

How to explore github repos via Databend

Databend now supports GitHub as a data source, and you can read the relevant code at storages/github.

create github-engine based database

Before running databend, your Github Access Token should be set.

export GITHUB_TOKEN=<your_token>;

Create a Github powered database.

databend :) create database datafuselabs engine=github;

0 rows in set. Elapsed: 2.611 sec. 

show all tables

Show all tables in this database, which are currently flattened. This means that Repos, issues and PRs are all in the form of tables.

databend :) use datafuselabs;

0 rows in set. Elapsed: 0.013 sec.

databend :) show tables;
