Action on table

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

None: No operation is carried
out.

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

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

table is created if it does not exist.

Drop a table if exists and create:
The table is removed if it already exists and created again.

Clear a table: The table content is
deleted.

Action on data

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

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

Update: Make changes to existing
entries

Insert or update: Insert a new record. If
the record with the given reference already exists, an update would be made.

Update or insert: Update the record with the
given reference. If the record does not exist, a new record would be inserted.

Delete: Remove entries
corresponding to the input flow.

Schema and Edit
schema

A schema is a row description, i.e. 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.

This
component offers the advantage of the dynamic schema feature. This allows you to
retrieve unknown columns from source files or to copy batches of columns from a source
without mapping each column individually. For further information about dynamic schemas,
see
Talend Studio

User Guide.

This
dynamic schema feature is designed for the purpose of retrieving unknown columns of a
table and is recommended to be used for this purpose only; it is not recommended for the
use of creating tables.

Built-In: You create and store the schema locally for this component
only.

Repository: You have already created the schema and stored it in the
Repository. You can reuse it in various projects and Job designs.

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).

Die on error

This check box is selected by default. Clear the check box to skip
the row on error and complete the process for error-free rows. If
needed, you can retrieve the rows on error via a Row > Rejects link.

Use alternate
schema

Select this option to use a schema other than
the one specified by the component that establishes the database connection (that is,
the component selected from the Component list
drop-down list in Basic settings view). After
selecting this option, provide the name of the desired schema in the Schema field.

This option is available when Use an
existing connection is selected in Basic
settings view.

Additional JDBC parameters

Specify additional connection properties for the DB connection you
are creating. This option is not available if you have selected the
Use an existing connection
check box in the Basic
settings.

Override any existing NLS_LANG environment
variable

Select this check box to override variables already set for a NLS
language environment.

Commit every

Enter the number of rows to be completed before committing batches
of rows together into the DB. This option ensures transaction
quality (but not rollback) and, above all, better performance at
execution.

tStat
Catcher Statistics

Select this check box to collect log data at the component
level.

Additional Columns

This option is not offered if you create (with or without drop)
the DB table. This option allows you to call SQL functions to
perform actions on columns, which are not insert, nor update or
delete actions, or action that require particular preprocessing.

Name: Type in the name of the
schema column to be altered or inserted as new column.

SQL expression: Type in the SQL
statement to be executed in order to alter or insert the relevant
column data.

Position: Select Before, Replace or After
following the action to be performed on the reference column.

Reference column: Type in a
column of reference that the tDBOutput can use to place or replace the new or
altered column.

Use field options

Select this check box to customize a request, especially when
there is double action on data.

Use Hint Options

Select this check box to activate the hint configuration area
which helps you optimize a query’s execution. In this area,
parameters are:

– SQL STMT: select the SQL
statement you need to use.

Convert columns and table to uppercase

Select this check box to set the names of columns and table in
upper case.

Debug query mode

Select this check box to display each step during processing entries
in a database.

Use Batch

Select this check box to activate the batch mode for data processing.

Batch Size

Specify the number of records to be processed in each batch.

This field appears only when the Use batch mode
check box is selected.

Support null in “SQL WHERE” statement

Select this check box to validate null in “SQL WHERE”
statement.

Enable parallel execution

Note that when parallel execution is enabled, it is not possible to use global
variables to retrieve return values in a subjob.

Global Variables

NB_LINE: the number of rows read by an input component or
transferred to an output component. This is an After variable and it returns an
integer.

NB_LINE_UPDATED: the number of rows updated. This is an
After variable and it returns an integer.

NB_LINE_INSERTED: the number of rows inserted. This is an
After variable and it returns an integer.

NB_LINE_DELETED: the number of rows deleted. This is an
After variable and it returns an integer.

NB_LINE_REJECTED: the number of rows rejected. This is an
After variable and it returns an integer.

QUERY: the query statement processed. This is an After
variable and it returns a string.

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.

For further information about variables, see
Talend Studio

User Guide.

Usage rule

This component offers the flexibility benefit of the DB query and
covers all of the SQL queries possible.

This component must be used as an output component. It allows you
to carry out actions on a table or on the data of a table in a
Oracle database. It also allows you to create a reject flow using a
Row > Rejects link to filter
data in error. For such an example, see Retrieving data in error with a Reject link.

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 examples on using dynamic parameters, see Reading data from databases through context-based dynamic connections and 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.
