Component
family

Databases/MS SQL

Function

Iterates on a set of
table names through a defined MS SQL connection.

Purpose

Lists the names of a
given set of MSSql tables using a select statement based on a Where
clause.

Basic
settings

Component list

Select the tMSSqlConnection component in the list if more than
one connection are planned for the current job.

Where clause for table name selection

Enter the Where clause to identify the tables to
iterate on.

Advanced
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.

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.

Global Variables 

CURRENT_TABLE: the name of the table currently iterated
upon. This is a Flow variable and it returns a string.

NB_TABLE: the number of tables iterated upon so far. This
is a Flow 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.
