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.

User Guide.

Usage rule

This component is to be
used along with MSSql components, especially with tMSSqlConnection.

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 examples on using dynamic parameters, see Scenario: Reading data from databases through context-based dynamic connections and Scenario: Reading data from different MySQL databases using dynamically loaded connection parameters. For more information on Dynamic
settings and context variables, see
Talend Studio User Guide.
