tPostgresqlOutputBulk

Prepares the file to be used as parameters in the INSERT query to
feed the Postgresql database.

The tPostgresqlOutputBulk writes a file with columns
based on the defined delimiter and the Postgresql standards.

The tPostgresqlOutputBulk and tPostgresqlBulkExec components are generally used together as part of a
two step process. In the first step, an output file is generated. In the second step,
this file is used in the INSERT operation used to feed a database. These two steps are
fused together in the tPostgresqlOutputBulkExec
component, detailed in a separate section. The advantage of having two separate steps is
that it makes it possible to transform data before it is loaded in the database.

tPostgresqlOutputBulk Standard properties

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

The Standard
tPostgresqlOutputBulk component belongs to the Databases family.

The component in this framework is generally available.

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.
File Name	Name of the file to be generated. Warning: This file is generated on the local machine or a shared folder on the LAN.
Append	Select this check box to add the new rows at the end of the file.
Schema and Edit Schema	A schema is a row description, it defines the number of fields to be processed and passed on to the next component. The schema is either Built-in or stored remotely in the Repository 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.
	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).

Advanced settings

Row separator	String (ex: ” “on Unix) to distinguish rows.
Field separator	Character, string or regular expression to separate fields.
Include header	Select this check box to include the column header to the file.
Encoding	Select the encoding from the list or select Custom and define it manually. This field is compulsory for DB data handling.
tStatCatcher Statistics	Select this check box to collect log data at the component level.
Enable parallel execution	Select this check box to perform high-speed data processing, by treating multiple data flows simultaneously. Note that this feature depends on the database or the application ability to handle multiple inserts in parallel as well as the number of CPU affected. In the Number of parallel executions field, either: Enter the number of parallel executions desired. Press Ctrl + Space and select the appropriate context variable from the list. For further information, see Talend Studio User Guide. Note that when parallel execution is enabled, it is not possible to use global variables to retrieve return values in a subjob. The Action on table field is not available with the parallelization function. Therefore, you must use a tCreateTable component if you want to create a table. When parallel execution is enabled, it is not possible to use global variables to retrieve return values in a subjob.

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

Usage

Usage rule	This component is to be used along with tPostgresqlBulkExec component. Used together they offer gains in performance while feeding a Postgresql database.
