clickhouse_select
{
host => '127.0.0.1',
user => 'Harry',
password => 'Alohomora'
},
'select * from test',
sub { # callback function if status ok 200
my $data = shift;
# ... do something
# print $data;
},
sub { # callback function if status error 500
my $data = shift;
# do something
# print "err: ".$data."\n";
}
;

You can use URI

use URI;
my $uri = URI->new(sprintf ("http://%s:%d/",'127.0.0.1',8123)); # host and port
$uri->query_param('user' => 'Harry');
$uri->query_param('password' => 'Alohomora');
$uri->query_param('database' => 'default');
clickhouse_select
{
uri => $uri
},
...

clickhouse_do

Universal method for any queries inside the database, which modify data (insert data, create, alter, detach or drop table or partition).

clickhouse_do
{
host => '127.0.0.1',
user => 'Harry',
password => 'Alohomora'
},
"INSERT INTO test (id, f1, f2) VALUES",
sub { # callback function if status ok 200
my $data = shift;
# do something
},
undef, # You can skip callback function

'select * from test',
sub { # callback function if status ok 200
my $data = shift;
# ... do something
# foreach my $row (@$data) {
# # Do something with your row
# foreach my $col (@$row) {
# # ... Do something
# print $col."\t";
# }
# print "\n";
# }
},
sub { # callback function if status error 500
my $data = shift;
# do something
# print "err: ".$data."\n";
}

clickhouse_select_hash
{
host => '127.0.0.1',
user => 'Harry',
password => 'Alohomora'
},
'select * from test',
sub { # callback function if status ok 200
my $data = shift;
# ... do something
# foreach my $row (@$data) {
# # Do something with your row
# foreach my $key (keys %{$row}){
# # ... Do something
# print $key." = ".$row->{$key}."\t";
