About Cloud Spanner

Cloud Spanner is a fully managed, mission-critical relational database service built from the ground up and battle tested for transactional consistency, high availability, and global scale. With traditional relational semantics (schemas, ACID transactions, SQL) and automatic, synchronous replication for high availability, Cloud Spanner is the only database service of its kind on the market.

Be sure to activate the Cloud Spanner API on the Developer's Console to use Cloud Spanner from your project.

See the Spanner client lib docs to learn how to interact with Cloud Spanner using this Client Library.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Please refer to the getting started guide.

Calling Cloud Spanner

Here is a code snippet showing a simple usage example. Add the following imports at the top of your file:

import com.google.cloud.spanner.DatabaseClient;
import com.google.cloud.spanner.DatabaseId;
import com.google.cloud.spanner.ResultSet;
import com.google.cloud.spanner.Spanner;
import com.google.cloud.spanner.SpannerOptions;
import com.google.cloud.spanner.Statement;

Then, to make a query to Spanner, use the following code:

// Instantiates a client
SpannerOptions options = SpannerOptions.newBuilder().build();
Spanner spanner = options.getService();
String instance = "my-instance";
String database = "my-database";
try {
  // Creates a database client
  DatabaseClient dbClient = spanner.getDatabaseClient(
    DatabaseId.of(options.getProjectId(), instance, database));
  // Queries the database
  try (ResultSet resultSet = dbClient.singleUse().executeQuery(Statement.of("SELECT 1"))) {
    // Prints the results
    while (resultSet.next()) {
      System.out.printf("%d\n", resultSet.getLong(0));
    }
  }
} finally {
  // Closes the client which will free up the resources used
  spanner.close();
}

Complete source code

In DatabaseSelect.java we put together all the code shown above in a single program.
