tJavaDBRow Standard properties

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.

Framework

Select your Java database framework on the list

Database

Name of the database

DB root path

Browse to your database root.

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.

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: The schema is created and stored locally for this component only. Related topic: see Talend Studio User Guide.

Repository: The schema already exists and is stored in the Repository, hence can be reused. Related topic: see Talend Studio User Guide.

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.

Query type

Either Built-in or Repository .

Built-in: Fill in manually the query statement or build it graphically using SQLBuilder

Repository: Select the relevant query stored in the Repository. The Query field gets accordingly filled in.

Query

Enter your DB query paying particularly attention to properly sequence the fields in order to match the schema definition.

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.

Propagate QUERY's recordset

Select this check box to insert the result of the query into a COLUMN of the current flow. Select this column from the use column list.

Use PreparedStatement

Select this check box if you want to query the database using a PreparedStatement. In the Set PreparedStatement Parameter table, define the parameters represented by "?" in the SQL instruction of the Query field in the Basic Settings tab.

Parameter Index: Enter the parameter position in the SQL instruction.

Parameter Type: Enter the parameter type.

Parameter Value: Enter the parameter value.

Commit every

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 on executions.

tStat Catcher Statistics

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

Global Variables

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 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.
