Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of manually creating tables and inserting data into QuestDB. By automating these tasks, it significantly reduces the time and effort required, minimizes human error, and ensures consistency in data handling.

Workflow Steps

  • Trigger the Workflow: The process begins when the user manually clicks the 'execute' button, initiating the workflow.
    2. Create Table: The workflow executes a SQL query to create a new table named test with two columns: id (of type INT) and name (of type STRING).
    3. Set Data: The workflow sets the values for the id and name columns. In this case, id is a placeholder for an integer, and name is set to 'Tanay'.
    4. Insert Data: Finally, the workflow inserts the predefined values into the test table, completing the data entry process.
