tMemSQLOutput – Docs for ESB 6.x

tMemSQLOutput

Reads data incoming from the preceding component in the Job and executes the action
defined on a given MemSQL table and/or on the data contained in the table.

tMemSQLOutput connects to a gvien MemSQL database and
writes, updates, makes changes or suppresses entries in that database.

tMemSQLOutput Standard properties

These properties are used to configure tMemSQLOutput running in the Standard Job framework.

The Standard
tMemSQLOutput component belongs to the Big Data and the Databases families.

The component in this framework is available when you are using one of the Talend solutions with Big Data.

Basic settings

Property type

Either Built-in or
Repository
.

 

Built-in: No property data stored
centrally.

 

Repository: Select the repository
file in which the properties are stored. The fields that follow are
completed automatically using the data retrieved.

Use an existing connection

Select this check box and in the Component
List
click the relevant connection component to reuse the connection
details you already defined.

Note:

When a Job contains the parent Job and the child Job, if you need to share an
existing connection between the two levels, for example, to share the connection created by
the parent Job with the child Job, you have to:

  1. In the parent level, register the database connection to be shared
    in the Basic settings view of the
    connection component which creates that very database connection.

  2. In the child level, use a dedicated connection component to read
    that registered database connection.

For an example about how to share a database connection across Job levels, see


Talend Studio
User Guide
.

Host

Enter the location of the server of the MemSQL database to be
used.

Port

Enter the listening port number of the database server.

Database

Enter the name of the MemSQL database to be used.

Username and
Password

Enter the user authentication data for connecting to the database
to be used.

Table

Enter the name of the table to be written. Note that only one
table can be written at a time

Action on table

On the table defined, you can perform one of the following
operations:

None: No operation is carried
out.

Drop and create a table: The table
is removed and created again.

Create a table: The table does not
exist and gets created.

Create a table if not exists: The
table is created if it does not exist.

Drop a table if exists and create:
The table is removed if it already exists and created again.

Clear a table: The table content is
deleted.

Action on data

On the data of the table defined, you can perform:

Insert: Add new entries to the
table. If duplicates are found, the job stops.

Update: Make changes to existing
entries.

Insert or update: Insert a new record. If
the record with the given reference already exists, an update would be made.

Update or insert: Update the record with the
given reference. If the record does not exist, a new record would be inserted.

Delete: Remove entries
corresponding to the input flow.

Warning:

You must specify at least one column as
a primary key on which the Update and Delete operations are based. You can do that
by clicking Edit Schema and
selecting the check box(es) next to the column(s) you want
to set as primary key(s). For an advanced use, click the
Advanced settings view
where you can simultaneously define primary keys for the
update and delete operations. To do that: Select the
Use field options check
box and then in the Key in
update
column, select the check boxes next to
the column name on which you want to base the update
operation. Do the same in the Key in
delete
column for the deletion operation.

Schema and Edit
schema

A schema is a row description. It defines the number of fields (columns) to
be processed and passed on to the next component. The schema is either Built-In or stored remotely in the Repository.

This component offers the
advantage of the dynamic schema feature. This allows you to retrieve unknown columns
from source files or to copy batches of columns from a source without mapping each
column individually. For further information about dynamic schemas, see
Talend Studio

User Guide.

This dynamic schema
feature is designed for the purpose of retrieving unknown columns of a table and is
recommended to be used for this purpose only; it is not recommended for the use of
creating tables.

 

Built-In: You create and store the
schema locally for this component only. Related topic: see
Talend Studio

User Guide.

 

Repository: You have already created
the schema and stored it in the Repository. You can reuse it in various projects and
Job designs. Related topic: see
Talend Studio

User Guide.

When the schema to be reused has default values that are integers or
functions, ensure that these default values are not enclosed within quotation marks. If
they are, you must remove the quotation marks manually.

You can find more details about how to verify default
values in retrieved schema in Talend Help Center (https://help.talend.com).

 

Click Edit schema to make changes to the schema.
If the current schema is of the Repository type, three
options are available:

  • View schema: choose this option to view the
    schema only.

  • Change to built-in property: choose this
    option to change the schema to Built-in for
    local changes.

  • Update repository connection: choose this
    option to change the schema stored in the repository and decide whether to propagate
    the changes to all the Jobs upon completion. If you just want to propagate the
    changes to the current Job, you can select No
    upon completion and choose this schema metadata again in the [Repository Content] window.

Die on error

This check box is clear by default.This allows you to skip the row
in error and complete the process for error-free rows.

Advanced settings

Additional JDBC parameters

Specify additional connection properties for the DB connection you
are creating. This option is not available if you have selected the
Use an existing connection
check box in the Basic
settings
.

Note:

You can press Ctrl+Space to
access a list of predefined global variables.

Use batch size

Select this check box to activate the batch mode for data
processing. In the Batch Size field
that appears when this check box is selected, you can type in the
number you need to define the batch size to be processed.

Additional Columns

This option is not available if you have just created the database
table (even if you delete it beforehand). This option allows you to
call SQL functions to perform actions on columns, provided that
these are not insert, update or delete actions, or actions that
require pre-processing.

 

Name: Type in the name of the
schema column to be altered or inserted.

 

SQL expression: Type in the SQL
statement to be executed in order to alter or insert the data in the
corrsponding column.

 

Position: Select Before, Replace or After,
depending on the action to be performed on the reference
column.

 

Reference column: Type in a
reference column that tMemSQLOutput
can use to locate or replace the new column, or the column to be
modified.

Use field options

Select this check box to customize a request, particularly if
multiple actions are being carried out on the data.

Enable debug mode

Select this check box to display each step involved in the process
of writing data in the database.

tStatCatcher Statistics

Select this check box to collect log data at the component
level.

Global Variables

Global Variables

NB_LINE: the number of rows read by an input component or
transferred to an output component. This is an After variable and it returns an
integer.

NB_LINE_UPDATED: the number of rows updated. This is an
After variable and it returns an integer.

NB_LINE_INSERTED: the number of rows inserted. This is an
After variable and it returns an integer.

NB_LINE_DELETED: the number of rows deleted. This is an
After variable and it returns an integer.

NB_LINE_REJECTED: the number of rows rejected. This is an
After variable and it returns an integer.

ERROR_MESSAGE: the error message generated by the
component when an error occurs. This is an After variable and it returns a string. This
variable functions only if the Die on error check box is
cleared, if the component has this check box.

To fill up a field or expression with a variable, press Ctrl +
Space
to access the variable list and choose the variable to use from it.

For further information about variables, see
Talend Studio

User Guide.

A Flow variable functions during the execution of a component while an After variable
functions after the execution of the component.

Usage

Usage rule

This component must be used as an output component. It allows you
to carry out actions on a table or on the data of a table in a
MemSQL database.

Dynamic settings

Click the [+] button to add a
row in the table and fill the Code field
with a context variable to choose your database connection dynamically from
multiple connections planned in your Job. This feature is useful when you
need to access database tables having the same data structure but in
different databases, especially when you are working in an environment where
you cannot change your Job settings, for example, when your Job has to be
deployed and executed independent of
Talend Studio
.

The Dynamic settings table is
available only when the Use an existing
connection
check box is selected in the Basic settings view. Once a dynamic parameter is
defined, the Component List box in the
Basic settings view becomes unusable.

For examples on using dynamic parameters, see Scenario: Reading data from databases through context-based dynamic connections and Scenario: Reading data from different MySQL databases using dynamically loaded connection parameters. For more information on Dynamic
settings
and context variables, see
Talend Studio User Guide
.

Limitation

Due to license incompatibility, one or more JARs required to use this component are not
provided. You can install the missing JARs for this particular component by clicking the
Install button on the Component tab view. You can also find out and add all missing JARs easily on the
Modules tab in the
Integration
perspective of your
studio. You can find more details about how to install external modules in Talend Help Center (https://help.talend.com).
