Use or register a shared DB Connection

Select this check box to share your database connection or fetch a database connection shared by a parent or child Job, and in the Shared DB Connection Name field displayed, enter the name for the shared database connection. This allows you to share one single database connection (except the database schema setting) among several database connection components from different Job levels that can be either parent or child.

This option is incompatible with the Use dynamic Job and Use an independent process to run subJob options of the tRunJob component. Using a shared connection together with a tRunJob component with either of these two options enabled will cause your Job to fail.

This check box is not available when the Specify a data source alias check box is selected.

Specify a data source alias

Select this check box and specify the alias of a data source created on the Talend Runtime side to use the shared connection pool defined in the data source configuration. This option works only when you deploy and run your Job in Talend Runtime .

This check box is not visible when the Use or register a shared DB Connection check box is selected.

Data source alias

Enter the alias of the data source created on the Talend Runtime side.

This field is available only when the Specify a data source alias check box is selected.

Auto Commit

Select this check box to commit any changes to the database automatically upon the transaction.

With this check box selected, you cannot use the corresponding commit component to commit changes to the database; likewise, when using the corresponding commit component, this check box has to be cleared. By default, the auto commit function is disabled and changes must be committed explicitly using the corresponding commit component.

Note that the auto commit function commits each SQL statement as a single transaction immediately after the statement is executed while the commit component does not commit only until all of the statements are executed. For this reason, if you need more room to manage your transactions in a Job, it is recommended to use the commit component.

tStatCatcher Statistics

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

Usage rule

This component is more commonly used with other tPostgresql* components, especially with the tPostgresqlCommit and tPostgresqlRollback components.
