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 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.

Use an existing
connection

Select this check box and in the Component List click the relevant connection component to
reuse the connection details you already defined.

JDBC Provider

Select the provider of the JDBC driver to be used, either Microsoft (recommended) or Open
source JTDS.

When using this component with Datasource in Talend Runtime, you need
to use the Open source JTDS driver.

Note that when Microsoft is selected, you
need to download the Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server on Microsoft Download Center, unpack
the downloaded zip file, choose a jar in the unzipped folder based on your JRE version,
rename the jar to mssql-jdbc.jar and install it manually. For more
information about choosing the jar, see the System Requirements information on Microsoft Download Center.

Host

Database server IP address.

Port

Listening port number of DB server.

Schema

Name of the schema.

Database

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.

Table

Name of the table to be written. Note that only
one table can be written at a time.

Action on table

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

Default: No operation is
carried out.

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

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

Create table if not
exists: The table is created if it does not exist.

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

Clear table: The table
content is deleted.

Truncate table: The
table content is deleted. You do not have the possibility to rollback the
operation.

Turn on identity insert

Select this check box to use your own sequence
for the identity value of the inserted records (instead of having the SQL
Server pick the next sequential value).

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.

Single Insert Query:
Add entries to the table in a batch

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.

Insert if not exist :
Add new entries to the table if they do not exist.

Specify identity field

Select this check box to specify the identity
field, which is made up of an automatically incrementing identification number.

When this check box is selected, three other
fields are displayed:

Identity field: select
the column you want to define as the identity field from the list.

Start value: type in a
start value, used for the very first row loaded into the table.

Step: type in an
incremental value, added to the value of the previous row that was loaded.

This check box is available only when you
select Drop and create
table, Create
table, Create table
if not exists, or Drop table if exists and create from the Action on table list , and will disappear if you select the
Enable parallel
execution check box in the Advanced settings view. If you select
this check box with the Turn on
identity insert check box cleared and the Create table if not exists
option selected from the Action on
table list and if the specified table does not exist, only a
table will be created without inserting data into it.

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.

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.

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).

Specify a data source
alias

Select this check box and specify the alias of a data source created on the
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 an existing
connection check box is selected.

Data source alias

Enter the alias of the data source created on the
Talend Runtime
side.

This field is available only when the Specify a data
source alias check box is selected.

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.

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, encrypt=true;trustServerCertificate=false;
hostNameInCertificate=*.database.windows.net;loginTimeout=30; for
Azure SQL database connection.

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

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.

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.

Ignore date validation

Select this check box to ignore the date
validation and insert the data directly into the database for the data types of
DATE, DATETIME, DATETIME2 and DATETIMEOFFSET.

Debug query mode

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

Support null in “SQL WHERE”
statement

Select this check box if you want to deal
with the Null values contained in a DB table.

Use Batch

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

This check box is available only when you
have selected the Insert, the Update, the Single
Insert Query or the Delete option in the Action on data list.

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.

tStatCatcher
Statistics

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

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 processed. 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 MSSql database. It also allows you to create a reject flow using a
Row > Rejects link to filter data in
error. For an example of tMysqlOutput in use, 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.

When the Single Insert Query option is selected in the
Action on data
list, an SQL Prepared Statement is generated, for example,
INSERT INTO table (col1, col2, col3)
VALUES (?,?,?) , (?,?,?) , (?,?,?) ,(?,?,?)
. Within brackets are the groups of parameters the number of which
cannot exceed 2000, generally, depending on the JBDC driver. Therefore, the
batch size should be set so that this limit is respected.

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
Talend Help Center (https://help.talend.com).
