Federated SQL Query

Federated SQL Query documentation

Spice supports federated queries, enabling you to join and combine data from multiple sources, including databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL), data warehouses (Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery), and data lakes (S3, MinIO). For a full list of supported sources, see Data Connectors.

See https://github.com/spicehq/docs/blob/trunk/portal/playground/sql-query-editor.md for further documentation on using the SQL Query Editor.

Apache Arrow Flight API

For production applications, leveraging the high-performance Apache Arrow Flight endpoint is recommended. The Spice SDKs always query using Arrow Flight.

See https://github.com/spicehq/docs/blob/trunk/api/sql-query/apache-arrow-flight-api.md for further documentation on using Apache Arrow Flight APIs.

HTTP API

SQL Query is also accessible via a standard HTTP API.

See https://github.com/spicehq/docs/blob/trunk/api/sql-query/http-api.md for further documentation on using the HTTP SQL API.
