I am reading data from Sql Server database/table using jdbc-river currently. As of now I have created a type for each table in my database. As next step in my implementation I would like to use parent/child types so that I can translate the relationship between my sql tables and store them. Table1 Col\_id| name| prop1|prop2|prop3 child\_table1 col\_id| table\_id| child\_prop1|child\_prop2|child\_prop3 curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/\_river/parent/\_meta' -d '{ "type" : "jdbc", "jdbc" : { "driver" : "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver", "url" : "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test", "user" : "", "password" : "", "sql" : "select \* from table1", "index" : "index1", "type" : "parent" } }' curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/\_river/child/\_meta' -d '{ "type" : "jdbc", "jdbc" : { "driver" : "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver", "url" : "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test", "user" : "", "password" : "", "sql" : "select \* from child\_table1", "index" : "index1", "type" : "child" } }' curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/\_river/child/\_mapping' -d '{ "child":{ "\_parent": {"type": "parent"} } }' I would like to store my data in the following format { "id": "1", "name": "name1", "prop1": "data", "prop2": "data", "prop3": "data", "child": [ { "child\_prop1": "data", "child\_prop2": "data", "child\_prop3": "data", } { "child\_prop1": "data1", "child\_prop2": "data1", "child\_prop3": "data1", } ]} Can anyone comment on how can I use jdbc-rivers to store my data as parent/child type for above scenario. thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hi, What you can do is include the 'parent' in the sql and give it the value of the parentId. I think you have to do this in 2 runs, first all the parents, second all the children. see [http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/JDBC-River-amp-amp-parent-td4029976.html](http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/JDBC-River-amp-amp-parent-td4029976.html) for another discussion Good luck, Maarten Op donderdag 9 januari 2014 22:04:09 UTC+1 schreef jsp: > I am reading data from Sql Server database/table using jdbc-river > currently.
