Opens a connection to the specified database that can then be reused in the
subsequent subjob or subjobs.

tAccessConnection opens a connection to the database for
a current transaction.

The following Job is dedicated to advanced database users, who want to carry out
multiple table insertions using a parent table Table1 to generate
two child tables: Name and Birthday.

• In Access 2007, create an Access database named
  Database1.

• Once the Access database is created, create a table named
  Table1 with two column headings:
  Name and Birthday.

Back into the
Integration
perspective of
Talend Studio
,
the Job requires twelve components including tAccessConnection, tAccessCommit,
tAccessInput, tAccessOutput and tAccessClose.

• Drop the following components from the Palette to the design workspace: tFileList, tFileInputDelimited,
  tMap, tAccessOutput (two), tAccessInput (two), tAccessCommit, tAccessClose and
  tLogRow (x2).

• Connect the tFileList component to the input
  file component using an Iterate link. Thus, the
  name of the file to be processed will be dynamically filled in from the
  tFileList directory using a global
  variable.

• Connect the tFileInputDelimited component to
  the tMap component and dispatch the flow
  between the two output Access components. Use a Row link for each of these connections representing the main
  data flow.

• Set the tFileList component properties, such
  as the directory where files will be fetched from.

• Add a tAccessConnection component and
  connect it to the starter component of this Job. In this example, the tFileList component uses an OnComponentOk link to define the execution order.

• In the tAccessConnection Component view, set
  the connection details manually or fetch them from the Repository if you centrally store them as a
  Metadata DB connection entry. For more information about Metadata, see
  
  Talend Studio User
  Guide
  .

• In the tFileInputDelimited component’s
  Basic settings view, press Ctrl+Space bar to access the variable list. Set the
  File Name field to the global variable:
  tFileList_1.CURRENT_FILEPATH. For more information
  about using variables, see
  Talend Studio User
  Guide.

  

• Set the rest of the fields as usual, defining the row and field separators
  according to your file structure.

• Then set the schema manually through the Edit
  schema dialog box or select the schema from the
  Repository
  . Make sure the data
  type is correctly set, in accordance with the nature of the data
  processed.

• In the tMap Output area, add two output
  tables, one called Name for the Name
  table, the second called Birthday, for the
  Birthday table. For more information about the
  tMap component, see
  Talend Studio User Guide.

• Drag the Name column from the Input area, and drop it to the Name
  table.

• Drag the Birthday column from the Input area, and drop it to the Birthday
  table.

• Then connect the output row links to distribute the flow correctly to the
  relevant DB output components.

• In each of the tAccessOutput components’
  Basic settings view, select the Use an existing connection check box to retrieve the
  tAccessConnection details.

• Set the Table name making sure it
  corresponds to the correct table, in this example either
  Name or Birthday.

• There is no action on the table as they are already created.

• Select Insert as Action on data for both output components.

• Click on Sync columns to retrieve the schema
  set in the tMap.

• Then connect the first tAccessOutput
  component to the first tAccessInput component
  using an OnComponentOk link.

• In each of the tAccessInput components’
  Basic settings view, select the Use an existing connection check box to retrieve the
  distributed data flow. Then set the schema manually through Edit schema dialog box.

• Then set the Table Name accordingly. In
  tAccessInput_1, this will be
  Name.

• Click on the Guess Query.

• Connect each tAccessInput component to
  tLogRow component with a Row > Main link.
  In each of the tLogRow components’ basic settings view, select Table in the Mode field.

• Add the tAccessCommit component below the
  tFileList component in the design workspace
  and connect them together using an OnComponentOk link in order to terminate the Job with the
  transaction commit.

• In the basic settings view of tAccessCommit component and from the Component list, select the connection to be used,
  tAccessConnection_1 in this
  scenario.

• Save your Job and press F6 to execute
  it.

The parent table Table1 is reused to generate the
Name table and Birthday table.
