Schema and Edit schema

A schema is a row description. It defines the number of fields (columns) to
be processed and passed on to the next component. The schema is either Built-In or stored remotely in the Repository.

• 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.

You can find more details about how to verify default
values in retrieved schema in Talend Help Center (https://help.talend.com).

Click Edit schema to make changes to the
schema. Note that if you make changes, the schema automatically becomes built-in.

• 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.

Usage rule

This component is more commonly used with the tVerticaBulkExec component. Used together, they
offer gains in performance while feeding a Vertica database.

Talend Studio and the
Vertica database create very fast and affordable data warehouse and data mart applications.

Talend Studio
to connect to Vertica, see Talend and HP Vertica Tips and
