Select a type of database from the list and click
Apply.

Property Type

Either Built-In or
Repository.

• Built-In: No property data stored
  centrally.

• Repository: Select the repository
  file in which the properties are stored. The database connection fields
  that follow are completed automatically using the data retrieved.

Host

Enter the host or host list of the EXASol database servers. EXASol can run in a cluster
environment. The valid value can be a simple IP address (for example, 172.16.173.128), an IP range list (for example, 172.16.173.128..130 that represents three servers 172.16.173.128, 172.16.173.129, and 172.16.173.130), or a
comma-separated host list (for example, server1,server2,server3) of the EXASolution database cluster.

Port

Enter the listening port number of the EXASolution database cluster.

Schema

Enter the name of the schema you want to use.

Username and Password

Enter the user authentication data to access the EXASolution database.

To enter the password, click the […] button next to the
password field, and then in the pop-up dialog box enter the password between double quotes
and click OK to save the settings.

Use or register a shared DB Connection

Select this check box to share your
database connection or fetch a database connection shared by a parent or child Job,
and in the Shared DB Connection Name field displayed, enter the
name for the shared database connection. This allows you to share one single database
connection (except the database schema setting) among several database connection
components from different Job levels that can be either parent or child.

This option is
incompatible with the Use dynamic job and Use an
independent process to run subjob options of the
tRunJob component. Using a shared connection together with a
tRunJob component with either of these two options enabled
will cause your Job to fail.

Auto
Commit

Select this check box to commit any changes to the database
automatically upon the transaction.

With this check box selected, you cannot use the corresponding
commit component to commit changes to the database; likewise, when using the
corresponding commit component, this check box has to be cleared. By
default, the auto commit function is disabled and changes must be committed
explicitly using the corresponding commit component.

Note that the auto commit function commits each SQL statement as a
single transaction immediately after the statement is executed while the
commit component does not commit only until all of the statements are
executed. For this reason, if you need more room to manage your transactions
in a Job, it is recommended to use the commit component.

Additional JDBC
Parameters

Specify additional connection properties for the database connection you are
creating. The properties are separated by semicolon and each property is a key-value
pair, for example, encryption=1;clientname=Talend.

This field is not available if the Use an existing
connection check box is selected.

tStatCatcher Statistics

Select this check box to gather the Job processing metadata at the Job level
as well as at each component level.

Global Variables

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 is more commonly used with other EXASolution
components, especially with the tEXACommit and tEXARollback components.
