Databases/Sybase IQ
|
|
Function
|
tSybaseIQBulkExec uploads a bulk
file in a Sybase IQ database.
|
Purpose
|
As a dedicated component, it allows gains in performance during
Insert operations to a Sybase IQ database.
|
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.
|
|
DB Version
|
The available Sybase versions are:
– Sybase IQ 12;
– Sybase IQ 15.
Warning
-
For Sybase IQ 12, the
file to be bulk-loaded must be located on the same
machine as the Sybase IQ
12 server.
-
For Sybase IQ 15, the
file to be bulk-loaded can be located on a remote
machine. However, this means certain setup on the
Sybase IQ 15
server. For details, see Sybase IQ client-side load support
enhancements.
Note
The Sybase IQ 15 version is
connected to via ODBC while the Sybase IQ
12 version is via JDBC, so the fields to be
completed on the Basic settings
view vary slightly between the alternative versions.
|
|
Use an existing connection
Warning
Sybase IQ 12 only.
|
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:
-
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.
-
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.

Sybase IQ 12 only.
|
Database server IP address

|
Port
Warning
Sybase IQ 12 only.
|
Listening port number of DB server.

Warning
Sybase IQ 15 only.
|
Select the type of the data source to be used and complete the
corresponding DSN information in the field alongside. The available
types are:
– DSN;
– FILEDSN.
When the FILEDSN type is used, a
three-dot button appears next to the Data
Source field to allow you to browse to the data
source file of interest.

Table
|
Name of the table to be written. Note that only one table can be
written at a time and that the table must exist for the insert
operation to succeed.
|
|
Action on table
|
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.
Drop table if exists and create:
The table is removed if it already exists and created again.
Clear table: The table content is
deleted.
Truncate table: The table content
is deleted. You do not have the possibility to rollback the
operation.

|
Local filename
|
Name of the file to be loaded.
|

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:
-
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.
|
Advanced settings
|
Additional JDBC Parameters
|
Specify additional connection properties in the existing DB
connection, to allow specific character set support.
|
|
Lines terminated by
|
Character or sequence of characters used to separate lines.
|
|
Field Terminated by
|
Character, string or regular expression to separate fields.
Note
With the row/field separators compliant with the Sybase
syntax, this component allows the use of Sybase-oriented
separators, such as x09.
|
|
Use enclosed quotes
|
Select this check box to use data enclosure characters.
|
|
Use fixed length
|
Select this check box to set a fixed width for data lines.
|
|
tStatCatcher Statistics
|
Select this check box to gather the job processing metadata at a
job level as well as at each 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 dedicated component offers performance and flexibility of
Sybase IQ DB query handling.
|
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.
|
Limitation
|
As opposed to the Oracle dedicated bulk component, no action on
data is possible using this Sybase dedicated component.
This component requires installation of its related jar files. For more information about the
installation of these missing jar files, see the section describing how to configure the
Studio of the Talend Installation and Upgrade Guide.
The jodbc.jar also needs to be installed separately in the
Modules view of the Integration perspective in your studio.
For details, see the section about external modules in
Talend Installation and
Upgrade Guide.
Warning
For Sybase IQ 12, the
database client/server should be installed on the same machine
where the Studio is installed or where the Job using tSybaseIQBulkExec is deployed, so
that the component functions properly.
For Sybase IQ 15, it is
allowed that only the database client is installed on the same
machine where the Studio is installed or where the Job using
tSybaseIQBulkExec is
deployed, so that the component functions properly. However,
this means certain setup on the Sybase IQ
15 server. For details, see Sybase IQ client-side load support
enhancements.
