Schema and Edit
schema

A schema is a row description, it defines the number of fields that will be processed
and passed on to the next component. The schema is either built-in
or remote in the Repository.

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. Related topic: see

Talend Studio User
Guide.

Repository: You have already
created the schema and stored it in the Repository. You can reuse it
in various projects and Job flowcharts. Related topic: see
Talend Studio User
Guide.

transferred to an output component. This is an After variable and it returns an
integer.

QUERY: the query statement being processed. This is a Flow
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
