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.

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.

When reusing an existing Sybase 16 (SQL
Anywhere) connection created by a tSybaseConnection component and loading data from a file
located on the client side, you need to select Sybase 16 (SQL Anywhere) from the DB
Version drop-down list to display the Is client file
check box before selecting this check box.

This property is not available when
Sybase IQ 15 is selected from the DB
Version drop-down list.

DB Version

Select the version of the Sybase database to be used from the
drop-down list.

• For Sybase IQ 12 and Sybase IQ 16, the file to be bulk-loaded must be located on
  the same machine as the Sybase IQ server.

• For Sybase IQ 15, the file to be bulk-loaded can be located on the client side,
  however, this means certain setup on the Sybase IQ server. For more information, see
  Sybase IQ client-side load support
  enhancements.

• For Sybase 16 (SQL Anywhere), the file to be bulk-loaded can be located on both the
  server side and the client side.

  Before loading data into Sybase 16 (SQL Anywhere), SQL Anywhere 17 must be
  installed. You can download it here. Once the installation is done, you need to check the
  system variable Path to make sure the installation path of
  SQL Anywhere 17 has been added to it, and then restart the Studio (in certain case
  restart the computer) to have the new Path variable take
  effect.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

Dynamic settings

Click the [+] button to add a row in the table

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.
