tMSSqlSP Properties

Component family

Databases/MSSql

 

Function

tMSSqlSP calls the database
stored procedure.

Purpose

tMSSqlSP offers a convenient way
to centralize multiple or complex queries in a database and call
them easily.

Basic settings

Property type

Either Built-in or
Repository
.

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

 

 

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

Database server IP address

 

Port

Listening port number of DB server.

 

Database

Name of the database.

 

Schema

Name of the schema.

 

Username and
Password

DB user authentication data.

To enter the password, click the […] button next to the
password field, and then in the pop-up dialog box enter the password between double quotes
and click OK to save the settings.

 

Schema and Edit
Schema

In SP principle, the schema is an input parameter.

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.

   

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.

 

SP Name

Type in the exact name of the Stored Procedure

 

Is Function / Return result
in

Select this check box, if only a value is to be returned.

Select on the list the schema column, the value to be returned is
based on.

 

Parameters

Click the Plus button and select the various Schema Columns that will be required by the
procedures. Note that the SP schema can hold more columns than there
are paramaters used in the procedure.

Select the Type of
parameter:

IN: Input parameter

OUT: Output parameter/return
value

IN OUT: Input parameters is to be
returned as value, likely after modification through the procedure
(function).

RECORDSET: Input parameters is to
be returned as a set of values, rather than single value.

Note

Check Scenario 1: Inserting data in mother/daughter tables, if you want to analyze a set
of records from a da­tabase table or DB query and return single
records.

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
.

 

tStatCatcher Statistics

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

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 more information on Dynamic settings and context
variables, see Talend Studio User Guide.

Usage

This component is used as intermediary component. It can be used
as start component but only input parameters are thus allowed.

Limitation

The Stored Procedures syntax should match the Database syntax.

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. For details, see https://help.talend.com/display/KB/How+to+install+external+modules+in+the+Talend+products
or the section describing how to configure the Studio in the Talend Installation and Upgrade
Guide
.

Scenario: Retrieving personal information using a stored procedure

This scenario describes a Job that retrieves a personal information record from a
specified table using a stored procedure according to the id value defined in the input flow.

components-tmssqlsp_s1_job.png

In this scenario, the table to retrieve data from contains the personal information.
To reproduce this scenario, you can write the data into the table from a CSV file like
the following. For how to write data into a MS SQL table, see Scenario: Inserting data into a database table and extracting useful information from
it
.

In this scenario, the stored procedure used to retrieve the personal information is as
follows:

Dropping and linking the components

  1. Create a new Job and add the following components by typing their names in
    the design workspace or dropping them from the Palette: a tFixedFlowInput
    component, a tMSSqlSP component, a
    tParseRecordSet component, and two
    tLogRow components.

  2. Connect tFixedFlowInput to tMSSqlSP using a Row > Main link.

  3. Do the same to connect tMSSqlSP to the
    first tLogRow, the first tLogRow to tParseRecordSet, and tParseRecordSet to the second tLogRow.

Configuring the components

Configuring the input component

  1. Double-click tFixedFlowInput to open its
    Basic settings view.

    components-tmssqlsp_s1_tfixedflowinput.png
  2. Click the […] button next to Edit schema to open the schema editor.

    components-tmssqlsp_s1_tfixedflowinput_schema.png

    Click the [+] button to add two columns:
    id of the integer type and name of the string type.

    Click OK to close the schema
    editor.

  3. In the Mode area, fill each column with
    respective value. In this example, the id
    value is set to 4, and the name value is null since it is not used in the
    select SQL statement in the stored procedure.

Configuring the tMSSqlSP component

  1. Double-click tMSSqlSP to open its
    Basic settings view.

    components-tmssqlsp_s1_tmssqlsp.png
  2. Fill in the Host, Port, Schema, Database, Username, and Password
    fields with your MS SQL Server connection details.

  3. In the SP Name field, enter the name of
    the stored procedure to be used. In this example, it is QueryPerson.

  4. Click the […] button next to Edit schema to open the schema editor.

    components-tmssqlsp_s1_tmssqlsp_schema.png

    Click the components-tmssqlsp_s1_copycolumns.png button to copy all columns from the input schema to the
    output schema, and then click the [+]
    button in the right panel to add a new column person of the object type to hold the personal information
    to be retrieved from the database.

    Click OK to close the schema editor and
    accept the propagation prompted by the pop-up dialog box.

  5. In the Parameters area, click the
    [+] button to add three rows and select
    a schema column and its type for each row. In this example, the id and name
    columns are of type IN, and the person column is of type RECORD SET.

Configuring the tParseRecordSet component

  1. Double-click tParseRecordSet to open its
    Basic settings view.

    components-tmssqlsp_s1_tparserecordset.png
  2. From the Prev. Comp. Column list
    drop-down list, select the column that holds the personal information to be
    parsed. In this example, it is person.

  3. Click the […] button next to Edit schema to open the schema editor.

    components-tmssqlsp_s1_tparserecordset_schema.png

    Click the [+] button in the right panel
    to add four columns: id and age of the integer type, and name and sex
    of the string type.

    Click OK to close the schema editor and
    accept the propagation prompted by the pop-up dialog box.

  4. In the Attribute table area, fill in each
    Value column with the corresponding
    column name in the MS SQL Server table that holds the personal
    information.

Configuring the output components

  1. Double-click the first tLogRow to open
    its Basic settings view.

    components-tmssqlsp_s1_tlogrow.png

    In the Mode area, select Vertical (each row is a key/value list) for a
    better display of the result.

  2. Do the same to configure the second tLogRow.

Saving and executing the Job

  1. Press Ctrl + S to save the Job.

  2. Press F6 to run the Job.

    components-tmssqlsp_s1_result.png

    The personal information with the id of 4 in the MS SQL table is displayed in the lower table on the
    console. Note that the values of the id
    and name columns shown in the upper table
    are the input data.
