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.

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).

Row separator

“on Unix) to distinguish rows.

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.

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.

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

Usage rule

This component is to be used along with tPostgresPlusBulkExec component. Used together they
offer gains in performance while feeding a PostgresPlus
database.
