ITTIA DB SQL for Device Data Management

ITTIA DB SQL

ITTIA DB SQL develops, manufactures, licenses, and supports data management software products and provides related services. ITTIA DB SQL brings robust data management facilities to bear on the tough data management problems now faced by embedded developers, in a package that is lightweight, cross-platform, fast, and easy to use. With ITTIA DB SQL, intelligent devices and embedded systems have access to full data management capabilities even when disconnected.

ITTIA DB SQL for Device Data Management

ITTIA DB SQL for Device Data Management includes an interactive SQL utility named ittiasql and demos such as ITTIA Device Database Microgrid demo that stores sensor data stored on the device in flash SQL database and enables the data visualization online.

Supported Modules

The following Computer on Modules are supported:

Supported Displays

While you can use a wide variety of displays and monitors, additional configuration may be required for a specific setup.

A section in the end of this guide provide instructions about display configuration.

Intended Use

This partner demo image is meant for the evaluation of the technology. It is not suitable for development or production.

How to Get Started

This section provides instructions for you to quickly get started with ITTIA DB SQL for Device Data Management.

Load the Toradex Easy Installer on the target module and select ITTIA DB SQL for Device Data Management from the list of available images. Please follow the steps described in ITTIA .

ITTIA Toradex Easy Installer

Test ITTIA Device Database Microgrid demo

When the installation ends, power-cycle the board and wait until you see a desktop environment. You can verify the stored data into your web browser, using the board's IP, e.g. if your board's IP is 10.22.1.42 one can navigate into the Microgrid demo by typing 10.22.1.42 in the web browser.

ITTIA Device Database Microgrid

The dashboard shown is updated with real-time data and complete history of sensor records.

You can create queries to access and analyze data on the device. To do so, run the ittiasql utility using the following command line


root@colibri-imx6:~# /usr/bin/ittiasql
ittiasql version 7.3.8

Open one of the database files located at /home/root, e.g.

$ .open microgrid-demo.ittiadb

microgrid-demo.ittiadb$

or even

$ .open idb+tcp://localhost/microgrid-demo.ittiadb

Create your own database with ITTIA DB SQL utility

In your target module, run the utility ittiasql. To create a new database file, use the command .create according to the instructions below. The database file is created in the current working directory by default.

$ .create database-name [storage=<string>] [password=<string>]
[page_size=<bytes>] [buffer_count=<integer>]
[mem_size=<bytes>] [mem_page_size=<bytes>]
[cipher_type=<string>] [cipher_data=<string>]
Creates a database. If successful, the current open database is closed.

The arguments are described

ArgumentsExplanation
database-namea local filename or remote database URL:
- [path/]example.db
- idb+tcp://server[:port]/[path/]example.db
- idb+shm://[share-name]/[path/]example.db
storage"file" (default) or "memory".
passworddatabase authorization password
page_sizefile storage page size (default 4KiB)
buffer_countnumber of page buffers to allocate
mem_sizenumber of bytes to allocate for memory tables
mem_page_sizememory storage page size (default 2KiB)
cipher_type"none" (default), "AES128" or "AES256"
cipher_datafile storage encryption key

As an example,

$ .create test.db
test.db$

Create a table using

test.db$ create table hello_world (x integer, y varchar(20));
0.567 seconds

To insert rows, use the following

test.db$ insert into hello_world values (10, 'Hello');
1 row affected, 0.023 seconds, transaction active

Execute queries in the tables from your database

test.db$ select * from hello_world;

+--+-----+
|x |y |
+--+-----+
|10|Hello|
+--+-----+

1 row in 2 passes, 0.311 seconds, transaction active

And save the changes with commit

test.db$ commit;
0.636 seconds

Check your database statistics with stats

test.db$ .stats
