tHSQLDbInput – Docs for ESB 7.x

tHSQLDbInput

Executes a DB query with a strictly defined order which must correspond to the
schema definition and then it passes on the field list to the next component via a Main row
link.

tHSQLDbInput reads a database and
extracts fields based on a query.

tHSQLDbInput Standard properties

These properties are used to configure tHSQLDbInput running in the Standard Job framework.

The Standard
tHSQLDbInput component belongs to the Databases family.

The component in this framework is available in all Talend
products
.

Basic settings

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 fields that follow are
completed automatically using the data retrieved.

Click this icon to open a database connection wizard and store the
database connection parameters you set in the component Basic settings view.

For more information about setting up and storing database
connection parameters, see
Talend Studio User Guide
.

Running Mode

Select on the list the Server Mode corresponding to your DB setup
among the four propositions :

HSQLDb Server, HSQLDb WebServer, HSQLDb In Process Persistent, HSQLDb In Memory.

Use TLS/SSL sockets

Select this check box to enable the secured mode if
required.

Host

Database server IP address.

Port

Listening port number of DB server.

Database Alias

Alias name of the database.

Username and
Password

DB user authentication data.

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.

DB path

Specify the directory to the database you want to connect to. This
field is available only to the HSQLDb In
Process Persistent
running mode.

Note:

By default, if the database you specify in this field does not
exist, it will be created automatically. If you want to change
this default set­ting, modify the connection parameter set in
the Additional JDBC parameter
field in the Advanced settings
view

Db name

Enter the database name that you want to connect to. This field is
available only to the HSQLDb In Process
Persistent
running mode and the HSQLDb In Memory running mode.

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. When you create a Spark
Job, avoid the reserved word line when naming the
fields.

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: The schema is created
and stored locally for this component only. Related topic: see

Talend Studio User
Guide
.

 

Repository: The schema already
exists and is stored in the Repository, hence can be reused. Related
topic: see
Talend Studio User
Guide
.

 

Click Edit
schema
to make changes to the schema. If the current schema is of the Repository type, three options are available:

  • 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.

Query type and
Query

Enter your DB query paying particularly attention to properly
sequence the fields in order to match the schema definition.

If using the dynamic schema
feature, the SELECT query must include the * wildcard, to retrieve all of the columns from the table
selected.

Advanced settings

Additional JDBC parameters

Specify additional connection properties for the DB connection you
are creating. When the running mode is HSQLDb
In Process Persistent
, you can set the connection
property ifexists=true to allow connection to an
existing database only and avoid creating a new database.

Trim all the String/Char columns

Select this check box to remove leading and trailing whitespace
from all the String/Char columns.

Trim column

Remove leading and trailing whitespace from defined
columns.

tStat
Catcher Statistics

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

Global Variables

Global Variables

NB_LINE: Indicates the number of
lines processed. This is an After variable and it returns an
integer.

QUERY: Indicates the query to be
processed. This is a Flow variable and it returns a string.

For further information about variables, see
Talend Studio User
Guide
.

Note:

A Flow variable means it functions during the execution of a
component while an After variable means it functions after the
execution of a component.

Usage

Usage rule

This component covers all possible SQL queries for HSQLDb
databases.

Connections

Outgoing links (from this component to another):

Row: Main; Iterate

Trigger: Run if; On Component Ok;
On Component Error; On Subjob Ok; On Subjob Error.

Incoming links (from one component to this one):

Row: Iterate;

Trigger: Run if; On Component Ok;
On Component Error; On Subjob Ok; On Subjob Error.

For further information regarding connections, see
Talend Studio User
Guide
.

Limitation

Due to license incompatibility, one or more JARs required to use
this component are not provided. You can install the missing JARs for this particular
component by clicking the Install button
on the Component tab view. You can also
find out and add all missing JARs easily on the Modules tab in the
Integration
perspective of your studio. You can find more details about how to install external modules in
