This tutorial explains how to use a script to load sample data into a SQL Server 2019 big data cluster (preview). Many of the other tutorials in the documentation use this sample data.
Tip
You can find additional samples for SQL Server 2019 big data cluster (preview) in the sql-server-samples GitHub repository. They are located in the sql-server-samples/samples/features/sql-big-data-cluster/ path.
- A deployed big data cluster
- Big data tools
- mssqlctl
- kubectl
- Azure Data Studio
- SQL Server 2019 extension
- sqlcmd
- curl
The following steps use a bootstrap script to download a SQL Server database backup and load the data into your big data cluster. For ease of use, these steps have been broken out into Windows and Linux sections.
The following steps describe how to use a Windows client to load the sample data into your big data cluster.
-
In Windows Powershell, use curl to download the bootstrap script.
curl -o bootstrap-sample-db.cmd "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Microsoft/sql-server-samples/master/samples/features/sql-big-data-cluster/bootstrap-sample-db.cmd"
-
Download the bootstrap-sample-db.sql Transact-SQL script. This script is called by the bootstrap script.
curl -o bootstrap-sample-db.sql "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Microsoft/sql-server-samples/master/samples/features/sql-big-data-cluster/bootstrap-sample-db.sql"
-
The bootstrap script requires the following positional parameters for your big data cluster:
Parameter Description <CLUSTER_NAMESPACE> The name you gave your big data cluster. <SQL_MASTER_IP> The IP address of your master instance. <SQL_MASTER_SA_PASSWORD> The SA password for the master instance. <KNOX_IP> The IP address of the HDFS/Spark Gateway. <KNOX_PASSWORD> The password for the HDFS/Spark Gateway. [!TIP] Use kubectl to find the IP addresses for the SQL Server master instance and Knox. Run
kubectl get svc -n <your-cluster-name>and look at the EXTERNAL-IP addresses for the master instance (endpoint-master-pool) and Knox (service-security-lb or service-security-nodeport). -
Run the bootstrap script.
.\bootstrap-sample-db.cmd <CLUSTER_NAMESPACE> <SQL_MASTER_IP> <SQL_MASTER_SA_PASSWORD> <KNOX_IP> <KNOX_PASSWORD>
The following steps describe how to use a Linux client to load the sample data into your big data cluster.
-
Download the bootstrap script, and assign executable permissions to it.
curl -o bootstrap-sample-db.sh "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Microsoft/sql-server-samples/master/samples/features/sql-big-data-cluster/bootstrap-sample-db.sh" chmod +x bootstrap-sample-db.sh -
Download the bootstrap-sample-db.sql Transact-SQL script. This script is called by the bootstrap script.
curl -o bootstrap-sample-db.sql "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Microsoft/sql-server-samples/master/samples/features/sql-big-data-cluster/bootstrap-sample-db.sql" -
The bootstrap script requires the following positional parameters for your big data cluster:
Parameter Description <CLUSTER_NAMESPACE> The name you gave your big data cluster. <SQL_MASTER_IP> The IP address of your master instance. <SQL_MASTER_SA_PASSWORD> The SA password for the master instance. <KNOX_IP> The IP address of the HDFS/Spark Gateway. <KNOX_PASSWORD> The password for the HDFS/Spark Gateway. [!TIP] Use kubectl to find the IP addresses for the SQL Server master instance and Knox. Run
kubectl get svc -n <your-cluster-name>and look at the EXTERNAL-IP addresses for the master instance (endpoint-master-pool) and Knox (service-security-lb or service-security-nodeport). -
Run the bootstrap script.
./bootstrap-sample-db.sh <CLUSTER_NAMESPACE> <SQL_MASTER_IP> <SQL_MASTER_SA_PASSWORD> <KNOX_IP> <KNOX_PASSWORD>
After the bootstrap script runs, your big data cluster has the sample databases and HDFS data. To start exploring this data and big data clusters, see the Tutorials in this section.
