By passing SQL from standard input, spanner-cli runs in batch mode.
$ echo 'SELECT * FROM users;' | spanner-cli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydb
id name active
1 foo true
2 bar false
You can also pass SQL with command line option -e.
$ spanner-cli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydb -e 'SELECT * FROM users;'
id name active
1 foo true
2 bar false
With -t option, results are displayed in table format.
$ spanner-cli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydb -e 'SELECT * FROM users;' -t
+----+------+--------+
| id | name | active |
+----+------+--------+
| 1 | foo | true |
| 2 | bar | false |
+----+------+--------+
spanner-cli now supports directed reads, a feature that allows you to read data from a specific replica of a Spanner database.
To use directed reads with spanner-cli, you need to specify the --directed-read flag.
The --directed-read flag takes a single argument, which is the name of the replica that you want to read from.
The replica name can be specified in one of the following formats:
<replica_location><replica_location>:<replica_type>
The <replica_location> specifies the region where the replica is located such as us-central1, asia-northeast2.
The <replica_type> specifies the type of the replica either READ_WRITE or READ_ONLY.
$ spanner-cli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydb --directed-read us-central1
$ spanner-cli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydb --directed-read us-central1:READ_ONLY
$ spanner-cli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydb --directed-read asia-northeast2:READ_WRITE
Directed reads are only effective for single queries or queries within a read-only transaction. Please note that directed read options do not apply to queries within a read-write transaction.
Note
If you specify an incorrect region or type for directed reads, directed reads will not be enabled and your requsts won't be routed as expected. For example, in a multi-region configuration nam3, if you mistype us-east1 as us-east-1, the connection will succeed, but directed reads will not be enabled.
To perform directed reads to asia-northeast2 in a multi-region configuration asia1, you need to specify asia-northeast2 or asia-northeast2:READ_WRITE.
Since the replicas placed in asia-northeast2 are READ_WRITE replicas, directed reads will not be enabled if you specify asia-northeast2:READ_ONLY.
Please refer to the Spanner documentation to verify the valid configurations.
In the following syntax, we use <> for a placeholder, [] for an optional keyword,
and {} for a mutually exclusive keyword.
- The syntax is case-insensitive.
\Gdelimiter is also supported for displaying results vertically.
| Usage | Syntax | Note |
|---|---|---|
| List databases | SHOW DATABASES; |
|
| Switch database | USE <database> [ROLE <role>]; |
The role you set is used for accessing with fine-grained access control. |

|
| List tables | SHOW TABLES; |
|

|
| Start Read-Write Transaction | BEGIN [RW] [PRIORITY {HIGH|MEDIUM|LOW}] [TAG <tag>]; |
See Request Priority for details on the priority. The tag you set is used as both transaction tag and request tag. See also Transaction Tags and Request Tags. |
| Commit Read-Write Transaction | COMMIT; |
|
| Rollback Read-Write Transaction | ROLLBACK; |
|
| Start Read-Only Transaction | BEGIN RO [{<seconds>|<RFC3339-formatted time>}] [PRIORITY {HIGH|MEDIUM|LOW}] [TAG <tag>]; |
<seconds> and <RFC3339-formatted time> is used for stale read. See Request Priority for details on the priority. The tag you set is used as request tag. See also Transaction Tags and Request Tags. |
| End Read-Only Transaction | CLOSE; |
|
| Exit CLI | EXIT; |
You can customize the prompt by --prompt option.
There are some defined variables for being used in prompt.
Variables:
\p: GCP Project ID\i: Cloud Spanner Instance ID\d: Cloud Spanner Database ID\t: In transaction
Example:
$ spanner-cli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydb --prompt='[\p:\i:\d]\t> '
Connected.
[myproject:myinstance:mydb]> SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY id ASC;
+----+------+--------+
| id | name | active |
+----+------+--------+
| 1 | foo | true |
| 2 | bar | false |
+----+------+--------+
2 rows in set (3.09 msecs)
[myproject:myinstance:mydb]> begin;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec)
[myproject:myinstance:mydb](rw txn)> ...
The default prompt is spanner\t> .
This tool supports a configuration file called spanner_cli.cnf, similar to my.cnf.
The config file path must be ~/.spanner_cli.cnf.
In the config file, you can set default option values for command line options.
Example:
[spanner]
project = myproject
instance = myinstance
prompt = "[\\p:\\i:\\d]\\t> "
- Command line flags(highest)
- Environment variables
.spanner_cli.cnfin current directory.spanner_cli.cnfin home directory(lowest)
You can set request priority for command level or transaction level.
By default MEDIUM priority is used for every request.
To set a priority for command line level, you can use --priority={HIGH|MEDIUM|LOW} command line option.
To set a priority for transaction level, you can use PRIORITY {HIGH|MEDIUM|LOW} keyword.
Here are some examples for transaction-level priority.
# Read-write transaction with low priority
BEGIN PRIORITY LOW;
# Read-only transaction with low priority
BEGIN RO PRIORITY LOW;
# Read-only transaction with 60s stale read and medium priority
BEGIN RO 60 PRIORITY MEDIUM;
# Read-only transaction with exact timestamp and medium priority
BEGIN RO 2021-04-01T23:47:44+00:00 PRIORITY MEDIUM;
Note that transaction-level priority takes precedence over command-level priority.
In a read-write transaction, you can add a tag following BEGIN RW TAG <tag>.
spanner-cli adds the tag set in BEGIN RW TAG as a transaction tag.
The tag will also be used as request tags within the transaction.
# Read-write transaction
# transaction_tag = tx1
+--------------------+
| BEGIN RW TAG tx1; |
| |
| SELECT val |
| FROM tab1 +-----request_tag = tx1
| WHERE id = 1; |
| |
| UPDATE tab1 |
| SET val = 10 +-----request_tag = tx1
| WHERE id = 1; |
| |
| COMMIT; |
+--------------------+
In a read-only transaction, you can add a tag following BEGIN RO TAG <tag>.
Since read-only transaction doesn't support transaction tag, spanner-cli adds the tag set in BEGIN RO TAG as request tags.
# Read-only transaction
# transaction_tag = N/A
+--------------------+
| BEGIN RO TAG tx2; |
| |
| SELECT SUM(val) |
| FROM tab1 +-----request_tag = tx2
| WHERE id = 1; |
| |
| CLOSE; |
+--------------------+
This tool supports the Cloud Spanner Emulator via the SPANNER_EMULATOR_HOST environment variable.
$ export SPANNER_EMULATOR_HOST=localhost:9010
# Or with gcloud env-init:
$ $(gcloud emulators spanner env-init)
$ spanner-cli -p myproject -i myinstance -d mydbRun unit tests.
$ make test
Run integration tests, which connects to real Cloud Spanner database.
$ PROJECT=${PROJECT_ID} INSTANCE=${INSTANCE_ID} DATABASE=${DATABASE_ID} CREDENTIAL=${CREDENTIAL} make test
- Show secondary index by "SHOW CREATE TABLE"
Do not use this tool for production databases as the tool is still alpha quality.
