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

None: No operation is carried
out.

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

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

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

deleted.

Truncate table: The table content
is deleted. You don not have the possibility to rollback the
operation.

File Name

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.

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

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.

Advanced settings

Action on data

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

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

Bulk Update: Make simultaneous
changes to multiple entries.

Copy the OID for each row

Retrieve the ID item for each row.

Contains a header line with the names of each column in
the file

Specify that the table contains header.

File type

Select the type of file being handled.

Null string

String displayed to indicate that the value is null.

Fields terminated by

Character, string or regular expression to separate fields.

Escape char

Character of the row to be escaped.

Text enclosure

Character used to enclose text.

Activate standard_conforming_string

Activate the variable.

Force not null for columns

Define the columns nullability.

Force not null: Select the check
box next to the column you want to define as not null.

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 to be used along with tPostgresqlOutputBulk component. Used together, they
can offer gains in performance while feeding a Postgresql
database.

Log4j

The activity of this component can be logged using the log4j feature. For more information on this feature, see Talend Studio User
Guide.

For more information on the log4j logging levels, see the Apache documentation at http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/Level.html.
