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

Property Type

Select the way the connection details
will be set.

• Built-In: The connection details will be set
  locally for this component. You need to specify the values for all
  related connection properties manually.

• Repository: The connection details stored
  centrally in Repository > Metadata will be reused by this component. You need to click
  the […] button next to it and in the pop-up
  Repository Content dialog box, select the
  connection details to be reused, and all related connection
  properties will be automatically filled in.

JDBC URL

The JDBC URL of the database to be used. For
example, the JDBC URL for the Amazon Redshift database is jdbc:redshift://endpoint:port/database.

Drivers

Complete this table to load the driver JARs needed. To do
this, click the [+] button under the table to add
as many rows as needed, each row for a driver JAR, then select the cell and click the
[…] button at the right side of the cell to
open the Module dialog box from which you can select the driver JAR
to be used. For example, the driver jar RedshiftJDBC41-1.1.13.1013.jar for the Redshift database.

For more information, see Importing a database driver.

Driver Class

Enter the class name for the specified driver between double
quotation marks. For example, for the RedshiftJDBC41-1.1.13.1013.jar driver, the name to be entered is
com.amazon.redshift.jdbc41.Driver.

Use Id and Password

The database 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.

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.

This check box is not available when the Specify a data source
alias check box is selected.

Specify a data source alias

Select this check box and in the
Data source alias field displayed, specify the alias of
a data source created on Talend Runtime side to use
the shared connection pool defined in the data source configuration. This option
works only when you deploy and run your Job in Talend Runtime.

This check box is not available when the Use or register a shared DB
Connection check box is selected.

Use Auto-Commit

Select this check box to activate the auto commit mode.

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.

tStatCatcher Statistics

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

ERROR_MESSAGE

The error message generated by the component when an error occurs. This is an After
variable and it returns a string.

Usage rule

This component is more commonly used with other tJDBC*
components, especially with the tJDBCCommit and tJDBCRollback components.
