Target Audience

  • Data Analysts: Those looking to quickly set up a database table in CrateDB for data storage and analysis.
    - Developers: Individuals needing a manual trigger to execute SQL commands without extensive coding.
    - Business Users: Users who want to automate data entry processes without deep technical knowledge.
    - Database Administrators: Professionals who require a simple solution for managing database operations and schema creation.

    • Problem Solved

  • This workflow addresses the challenge of manually creating database tables and inserting initial data in CrateDB.
    - It simplifies the process, allowing users to execute SQL commands with a single click, thus saving time and reducing errors in database management.

    • Workflow Steps

  • Step 1: The workflow starts with a manual trigger when the user clicks 'execute'.
    - Step 2: The CrateDB node is activated to execute a SQL command that creates a new table named test with columns id and name.
    - Step 3: Following the table creation, a Set node is used to define initial values for the id and name columns, setting id to 0 and name to 'n8n'.
    - Step 4: Finally, the second CrateDB node inserts these values into the previously created test table, completing the workflow.

    • Customization Guide

  • Users can modify the SQL query in the first CrateDB node to create different tables or adjust the schema as needed.
    - The values in the Set node can be customized to insert different initial data into the table. For example, changing id to another integer or name to a different string.
    - The workflow can be extended by adding more nodes to handle additional data processing or integration with other services, depending on specific needs.
