tOleDbOutput Standard properties

These properties are used to configure tOleDbOutput running in the Standard Job framework.

The Standard tOleDbOutput component belongs to the Databases family.

The component in this framework is available in all Talend products.

Basic settings

Database	Enter the connection string used to open the database. For details, please see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.oledb.oledbconnection.connectionstring.aspx.
Table	Specify the name of the table to be written. Note that only one table can be written at a time.
Action on data	Select one of the following actions that you want to perform on the data from the drop-down list. Insert: insert data. Update: update data. 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: delete data. Information noteWarning: It is necessary to specify at least one column as a primary key on which the Update or Delete operation is based. You can do that by clicking Edit schema and selecting the check box(es) next to the column(s) you want to set as primary key(s). For an advanced use, click the Advanced settings view where you can simultaneously define primary keys for the Update or Delete operation. To do that, select the Use field options check box and then in the Key in update or Key in delete column, select the check box(es) next to the column name(s) you want to use as a base for the Update or Delete operation. Information noteNote: The dynamic schema feature can be used in the following modes: Insert, Update, Insert or update, Update or insert, Delete.
Clear data in table	Select this check box to delete data in the defined table before any operation.
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.
	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.

Advanced settings

Additional columns	This option allows you to call SQL functions to perform actions on columns, provided that these are not insert, update or delete actions, or actions that require pre-processing. Name: Type in the name of the schema column to be altered or inserted. SQL expression: Type in the SQL statement to be executed in order to alter or insert the data in the corresponding column. Position: Select Before, After or Replace, depending on the action to be performed on the reference column. Reference column: Type in a reference column used to locate or replace the new column, or the column to be modified. This option is not available if you have just created the DB table (even if you delete it beforehand).
Use field options	Select this check box to customize a request, especially if multiple actions are being carried out on the data.
Field options	Select the check box(es) in the table if you want to use the corresponding schema column(s) as a base for your operation. Key in update: define the primary key to use in an update operation. Key in delete: define the primary key to use in a delete operation. Updatable: define the column(s) to update. Insertable: define the column(s) to insert. This field appears only when the Use field options check box is selected.
Enable debug mode	Select this check box to display each step involved in the process of writing data in the database.
tStatCatcher Statistics	Select this check box to collect log data at the component level.

Global Variables

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.
