Table

Click the [...] button and in the displayed wizard, select the Snowflake table to be used.

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.

If the Snowflake data type to be handled is VARIANT, OBJECT or ARRAY, while defining the schema in the component, select String for the corresponding data in the Type column of the schema editor wizard.

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.

Note that if the input value of any non-nullable primitive field is null, the row of data including that field will be rejected.This component is end component of a data flow in your Job. It receives data from other components via a

This component offers the advantage of the dynamic schema feature. This allows you to retrieve unknown columns from source files or to copy batches of columns from a source without mapping each column individually. For further information about dynamic schemas, see Talend Studio User Guide.

This dynamic schema feature is designed for the purpose of retrieving unknown columns of a table and is recommended to be used for this purpose only; it is not recommended for the use of creating tables.

Select the action to be carried out to the table.

• NONE: Leave the table as is.
• DROP_CREATE: Remove the table and create it again.
• CREATE: Create a new table.
• CREATE_IF_NOT_EXISTS: Create the table if it does not exist.
• DROP_IF_EXISTS_AND_CREATE: Remove the table if it already exists and create again.
• CLEAR: Remove all the data records in the table.
• TRUNCATE: Remove all the rows in the table. This action releases the space occupied by the table.

Select the operation you want to perform to the incoming data and data records in the Snowflake database table. You can insert, delete, update or merge data in the Snowflake table. This option assumes that the Snowflake table specified in Table field already exists.

• INSERT: Insert new records in the Snowflake table.
• UPDATE: Update existing records in the Snowflake table.
• UPSERT: Create new records and update existing records. You need to specify a schema column as the join key from the Upsert Key Column drop-down list or specify to use the schema keys for the operation by selecting Use schema keys for upsert in the Advanced settings view.
  Information noteNote: The Upsert Key Column drop-down list is available when Use schema keys for upsert is not selected.
• DELETE: Remove records from the Snowflake table.

Die on error

Select this option to stop the execution of the Job when an error occurs; clear this option to skip any rows on error and complete the process for error-free rows.

This option cannot work with Row > Reject connections.

Additional JDBC Parameters

Specify additional JDBC parameters for the database connection created.

Specify the timeout period (in minutes) of Snowflake login attempts. An error will be generated if no response is received in this period.

Role

Enter, in double quotation marks, the default access control role to use to initiate the Snowflake session.

This role must already exist and has been granted to the user ID you are using to connect to Snowflake. If this field is left empty, the PUBLIC role is automatically granted. For information about Snowflake access control model, see Understanding the Access Control Model.

Region ID (Deprecated)

Enter a region ID in double quotation marks, for example eu-west-1 or east-us-2.azure. For information about Snowflake Region ID, see Supported Cloud Regions.

For Snowflake components other than tSnowflakeConnection, this field is available when you select Use This Component from the Connection Component drop-down list in the Basic settings view.

Select this check box to convert lowercase in the defined table name and schema column names to uppercase. Note that unquoted identifiers should match the Snowflake Identifier Syntax.

If you deselect the check box, all identifiers are automatically quoted.

This property is not available when you select the Manual Query check box.

For more information on the Snowflake Identifier Syntax, see Identifier Syntax.

Convert empty strings to null

Select this option to convert empty strings to null.

Use schema keys for upsert

Select this option to use schema keys for the Upsert operation. This option is available when you select UPSERT from the Output Action drop-down list in the Basic settings view.

This property is available only when you select an action with Create Table from the Table Action drop down list in the Basic settings.

Use schema date pattern

Select this option to convert data in schema columns that are of Date type using the date pattern defined in the schema. To achieve this, you need also to specify the DB type of the schema columns as STRING, TEXT, or VARCHAR in the Custom DB Type field.
