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.

Since version 5.6, both the Built-In mode and the Repository mode are
available in any of the Talend solutions.

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.

For more details, see https://help.talend.com/display/KB/Verifying+default+values+in+a+retrieved+schema.

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

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 to include the column header.

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.

Global Variables 

NB_LINE: the number of rows processed. 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

This component is to be used along with tGreenplumBulkExec component. Used together they
offer gains in performance while feeding a Greenplum
database.
