SQLFlite

An Arrow Flight SQL Server with DuckDB or SQLite back-end execution engines

[]([] []([] []([] []([] []([] []([] []([***]

Description

This repo demonstrates how to build an Apache Arrow Flight SQL server implementation using DuckDB or SQLite as a backend database.

It enables authentication via middleware and allows for encrypted connections to the database via TLS.

For more information about Apache Arrow Flight SQL - please see this article.

Option 1 - Running from the published Docker image

Open a terminal, then pull and run the published Docker image which has everything setup (change: "--detach" to "--interactive" if you wish to see the stdout on your screen) - with command:

bash
docker run --name sqlflite \
           --detach \
           --rm \
           --tty \
           --init \
           --publish 31337:31337 \
           --env TLS_ENABLED="1" \
           --env SQLFLITE_PASSWORD="sqlflite_password" \
           --env PRINT_QUERIES="1" \
           --pull missing \
           voltrondata/sqlflite:latest

The above command will automatically mount a very small TPC-H DuckDB database file.

Note: You can disable TLS in the container by setting environment variable: TLS_ENABLED to "0" (default is "1" - enabled). This is not recommended unless you are using an mTLS sidecar in Kubernetes or something similar, as it will be insecure.

Optional - open a different database file

When running the Docker image - you can have it run your own DuckDB database file (the database must be built with DuckDB version: 1.1.1).

Prerequisite: DuckDB CLI
Install DuckDB CLI version 1.1.1 - and make sure the executable is on your PATH.

Platform Downloads:
Linux x86-64
Linux arm64 (aarch64)
MacOS Universal

In this example, we'll generate a new TPC-H Scale Factor 1 (1GB) database file, and then run the docker image to mount it:

bash
# Generate a TPC-H database in the host's /tmp directory
pushd /tmp

duckdb ./tpch_sf1.duckdb << EOF
.bail on
.echo on
SELECT VERSION();
INSTALL tpch;
LOAD tpch;
CALL dbgen(sf=1);
EOF

# Run the sqlflite docker container image - and mount the host's DuckDB database file created above inside the container
docker run --name sqlflite \
           --detach \
           --rm \
           --tty \
           --init \
           --publish 31337:31337 \
           --env TLS_ENABLED="1" \
           --env SQLFLITE_PASSWORD="sqlflite_password" \
           --pull missing \
           --mount type=bind,source=$(pwd),target=/opt/sqlflite/data \
           --env DATABASE_FILENAME="data/tpch_sf1.duckdb" \
           voltrondata/sqlflite:latest

Running initialization SQL commands

You can now run initialization commands upon container startup by setting environment variable: INIT_SQL_COMMANDS to a string of SQL commands separated by semicolons - example value:

SET threads = 1; SET memory_limit = '1GB';.

Here is a full example of running the Docker image with initialization SQL commands:

bash
docker run --name sqlflite \
           --detach \
           --rm \
           --tty \
           --init \
           --publish 31337:31337 \
           --env TLS_ENABLED="1" \
           --env SQLFLITE_PASSWORD="sqlflite_password" \
           --env PRINT_QUERIES="1" \
           --env INIT_SQL_COMMANDS="SET threads = 1; SET memory_limit = '1GB';" \
           --pull missing \
           voltrondata/sqlflite:latest

You can also specify a file containing initialization SQL commands by setting environment variable: INIT_SQL_COMMANDS_FILE to the path of the file containing the SQL commands - example value: /tmp/init.sql. The file must be mounted inside the container.

Note: for the DuckDB back-end - the following init commands are automatically run for you:
SET autoinstall_known_extensions = true; SET autoload_known_extensions = true;

Note: Initialization SQL commands which SELECT data will NOT show the results (this is not supported).

Note: Initialization SQL commands which fail will cause the Flight SQL server to abort and exit with a non-zero exit code.

Connecting to the server via JDBC

Download the Apache Arrow Flight SQL JDBC driver

You can then use the JDBC driver to connect from your host computer to the locally running Docker Flight SQL server with this JDBC string (change the password value to match the value specified for the SQLFLITE_PASSWORD environment variable if you changed it from the example above):

bash
jdbc:arrow-flight-sql://localhost:31337?useEncryption=true&user=sqlflite_username&password=sqlflite_password&disableCertificateVerification=true

For instructions on setting up the JDBC driver in popular Database IDE tool: DBeaver Community Edition - see this repo.

Note - if you stop/restart the Flight SQL Docker container, and attempt to connect via JDBC with the same password - you could get error: "Invalid bearer token provided. Detail: Unauthenticated". This is because the client JDBC driver caches the bearer token signed with the previous instance's secret key. Just change the password in the new container by changing the "SQLFLITE_PASSWORD" env var setting - and then use that to connect via JDBC.

Connecting to the server via the new ADBC Python Flight SQL driver

You can now use the new Apache Arrow Python ADBC Flight SQL driver to query the Flight SQL server. ADBC offers performance advantages over JDBC - because it minimizes serialization/deserialization, and data stays in columnar format at all phases.

You can learn more about ADBC and Flight SQL here.

Ensure you have Python 3.9+ installed, then open a terminal, then run:

bash
# Create a Python virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv

# Activate the virtual environment
. .venv/bin/activate

# Install the requirements including the new Arrow ADBC Flight SQL driver
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install pandas pyarrow adbc_driver_flightsql

# Start the python interactive shell
python

In the Python shell - you can then run:

python
import os
from adbc_driver_flightsql import dbapi as sqlflite, DatabaseOptions


with sqlflite.connect(uri="grpc+tls://localhost:31337",
                        db_kwargs={"username": os.getenv("SQLFLITE_USERNAME", "sqlflite_username"),
                                   "password": os.getenv("SQLFLITE_PASSWORD", "sqlflite_password"),
                                   DatabaseOptions.TLS_SKIP_VERIFY.value: "true"  # Not needed if you use a trusted CA-signed TLS cert
                                   }
                        ) as conn:
   with conn.cursor() as cur:
       cur.execute("SELECT n_nationkey, n_name FROM nation WHERE n_nationkey = ?",
                   parameters=[24]
                   )
       x = cur.fetch_arrow_table()
       print(x)

You should see results:

text
pyarrow.Table
n_nationkey: int32
n_name: string
----
n_nationkey: [[24]]
n_name: [["UNITED STATES"]]

Connecting via the new sqlflite_client CLI tool

You can also use the new sqlflite_client CLI tool to connect to the Flight SQL server, and then run a single command. This tool is built into the Docker image, and is also available as a standalone executable for Linux and MacOS.

Example (run from the host computer's terminal):

bash
sqlflite_client \
  --command Execute \
  --host "localhost" \
  --port 31337 \
  --username "sqlflite_username" \
  --password "sqlflite_password" \
  --query "SELECT version()" \
  --use-tls \
  --tls-skip-verify

That should return:

text
Results from endpoint 1 of 1
Schema:
version(): string

Results:
version():   [
    "v1.1.1"
  ]

Total: 1

Tear-down

Stop the docker image with:

bash
docker stop sqlflite

Option 2 - Download and run the sqlflite CLI executable

Download (and unzip) the latest release of the sqlflite_server CLI executable from these currently supported platforms:
Linux x86-64
Linux arm64
MacOS x86-64
MacOS arm64

Then from a terminal - you can run:

bash
SQLFLITE_PASSWORD="sqlflite_password" sqlflite_server --database-filename data/some_db.duckdb --print-queries

To see all program options - run:

bash
sqlflite_server --help

Option 3 - Steps to build the solution manually

In order to run build the solution manually, and run SQLite and DuckDB Flight SQL server, you need to set up a new Python 3.9+ virtual environment on your machine. Follow these steps to do so (thanks to David Li!).

1. Clone the repo and build the static library and executable

bash
git clone [***] --recurse-submodules
cd sqlflite

# Build and install the static library and executable
cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
cmake --build build --target install

2. Install Python requirements for ADBC client interaction - (ensure you have Python 3.9+ installed first)

bash
python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
pip install --requirement ./requirements.txt

3. Get some SQLite3 sample data.

bash
wget [***] -O ./data/TPC-H-small.sqlite

4. Create a DuckDB database.

bash
python "scripts/create_duckdb_database_file.py" \
       --file-name="TPC-H-small.duckdb" \
       --file-path="data" \
       --overwrite-file=true \
       --scale-factor=0.01

5. Optionally generate TLS certificates for encrypting traffic to/from the Flight SQL server

bash
pushd tls
./gen-certs.sh
popd

6. Start the Flight SQL server (and print client SQL commands as they run using the --print-queries option)

bash
SQLFLITE_PASSWORD="sqlflite_password" sqlflite_server --database-filename data/TPC-H-small.duckdb --print-queries

Selecting different backends

This option allows choosing from two backends: SQLite and DuckDB. It defaults to DuckDB.

bash
$ SQLFLITE_PASSWORD="sqlflite_password" sqlflite_server --database-filename data/TPC-H-small.duckdb
Apache Arrow version: 17.0.0
WARNING - TLS is disabled for the SQLFlite server - this is insecure.
DuckDB version: v1.1.1
Running Init SQL command: 
SET autoinstall_known_extensions = true;
Running Init SQL command: 
 SET autoload_known_extensions = true;
Using database file: "/opt/sqlflite/data/TPC-H-small.duckdb"
Print Queries option is set to: false
SQLFlite server - with engine: DuckDB - will listen on grpc+tcp://0.0.0.0:31337
SQLFlite server - started

The above call is equivalent to running sqlflite_server -B duckdb or sqlflite --backend duckdb. To select SQLite run

bash
SQLFLITE_PASSWORD="sqlflite_password" sqlflite_server -B sqlite -D data/TPC-H-small.sqlite 

or

bash
SQLFLITE_PASSWORD="sqlflite_password" sqlflite_server --backend sqlite --database-filename data/TPC-H-small.sqlite

The above will produce the following:

bash
Apache Arrow version: 17.0.0
WARNING - TLS is disabled for the SQLFlite server - this is insecure.
SQLite version: 3.45.0
Using database file: "/opt/sqlflite/data/TPC-H-small.sqlite"
Print Queries option is set to: false
SQLFlite server - with engine: SQLite - will listen on grpc+tcp://0.0.0.0:31337
SQLFlite server - started

                                      'SQLFLITE_PASSWORD'.  If that isn't set, 
                                      the server will exit with failure.
  -S [ --secret-key ] arg             Specify the secret key used to sign JWTs 
                                      issued by the SQLFlite Server. If it 
                                      isn't set, we use env var: 'SECRET_KEY'. 
                                      If that isn't set, the server will create
                                      a random secret key.

  -M [ --mtls-ca-cert-filename ] arg  Specify an optional mTLS CA certificate 
                                      path used to verify clients.  The 
                                      certificate MUST be in PEM format.
  -Q [ --print-queries ]              Print queries run by clients to stdout

Slim Docker image

There is now a slim docker image available, without Python, tls certificate generation, sample database files, etc.

You must supply the following environment variables to the slim image:

• DATABASE_FILENAME - the path to the database file to use
• SQLFLITE_PASSWORD - the password to use for the SQLFlite server

You can optionally supply the following environment variables:

• TLS_ENABLED - set to "1" to enable TLS (default is "0" - disabled)
• TLS_CERT - If TLS_ENABLED is 1 - provide the path to the TLS certificate file (it must be mounted in the container)
• TLS_KEY - If TLS_ENABLED is 1 - provide the path to the TLS key file (it must be mounted in the container)

To run that image - use the following command:

bash
docker run --name sqlflite-slim \
           --detach \
           --rm \
           --tty \
           --init \
           --publish 31337:31337 \
           --env DATABASE_FILENAME="data/some_database.duckdb" \
           --env TLS_ENABLED="0" \
           --env SQLFLITE_PASSWORD="sqlflite_password" \
           --env PRINT_QUERIES="1" \
           --pull missing \
           voltrondata/sqlflite:latest-slim

See start_sqlflite_slim.sh - the container's entrypoint script for more details.
