Usage

cat <input_stream> | macrometa-target-mysql --config <config.json>

• <input_stream>: Input data stream
• <config.json>: JSON configuration file

macrometa-target-mysql reads data from a Singer Tap and writes it to a MySQL database. Run Singer Tap to generate data before launching macrometa-target-mysql.

Here's an example of using Singer Tap with macrometa-target-mysql:

tap-exchangeratesapi | target-mysql --config config.json

In this case, tap-exchangeratesapi is a Singer Tap that generates exchange rate data. The data is passed to macrometa-target-mysql through a pipe(|), and macrometa-target-mysql writes it to a MySQL database. config.json contains macrometa-target-mysql settings.

Testing with Meltano

Note: This target functions within a Singer environment and does not require Meltano.

Firstly, install Meltano and necessary plugins:

# Install Meltano
pipx install meltano

# Initialize Meltano in this directory
cd target-mysql
meltano install

Then, test and orchestrate with Meltano:

# Call tests:
meltano invoke macrometa-target-mysql --version

# Or execute pipeline with Carbon Intensity sample tap:
meltano run tap-carbon-intensity target-mysql
