tVectorWiseOutput Standard properties

Select a type of database from the list and click Apply.

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.

Click this icon to open a database connection wizard and store the database connection parameters you set in the component Basic settings view.

For more information about setting up and storing database connection parameters, see Talend Studio User Guide.

Use an existing connection

Select this check box and in the Component List drop-down list, select the desired connection component to reuse the connection details you already defined.

Host

Database server IP address.

Port

Listening port number of the DB server.

Database

Name of the database.

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.

Table

Name of the table to be written. Note that only one table can be written at a time.

Action on table

On the table defined, you can perform one of the following operations:

None: No operation is carried out.

Drop and create a table: The table is removed and created again.

Create a table: The table does not exist and gets created.

Create a table if not exists: The table is created if it does not exist.

Drop a table if exists and create: The table is removed if it already exists and created again.

Clear a table: The table content is deleted.

Action on data

On the data of the table defined, you can perform:

Insert: Add new entries to the table. If duplicates are found, job stops.

Delete: Remove entries corresponding to the input flow.

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.

When the schema to be reused has default values that are integers or functions, ensure that these default values are not enclosed within quotation marks. If they are, you must remove the quotation marks manually.

For more information, see the related description of retrieving table schemas in 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.

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.

Additional JDBC Parameters

Specify additional JDBC parameters for the database connection created.

This property is not available when the Use an existing connection check box in the Basic settings view is selected.

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 at executions.

Additional Columns

This option is not offered if you create (with or without drop) the DB table. This option allows you to call SQL functions to perform actions on columns, which are not insert, nor update or delete actions, or action that require particular preprocessing.

Name: Type in the name of the schema column to be altered or inserted as new column.

SQL expression: Type in the SQL statement to be executed in order to alter or insert the relevant column data.

Position: Select Before, Replace or After following the action to be performed on the reference column.

Reference column: Type in a column of reference that the tDBOutput can use to place or replace the new or altered column.

Use field options

Select this check box to customize a request, especially when there is double action on data.

Debug query mode

Select this check box to display each step during processing entries in a database.

Support null in "SQL WHERE" statement

Select this check box if you want to deal with the Null values contained in a DB table.

Use Batch

Select this check box to activate the batch mode for data processing.

This option is only supported with Vectorwise version 2.5 and later, and is only available when you select Insert from the Action on data drop-down list in the Basic settings tab.

Batch Size

Specify the number of records to be processed in each batch.

This field appears only when the Use batch mode check box is selected.

tStat Catcher Statistics

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

Enable parallel execution

Note that when parallel execution is enabled, it is not possible to use global variables to retrieve return values in a subJob.

• The Action on table field is not available with the parallelization function. Therefore, you must use a tCreateTable component if you want to create a table.
• When parallel execution is enabled, it is not possible to use global variables to retrieve return values in a subJob.

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.

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.

Usage rule

This component offers the flexibility benefit of the DB query and covers all of the SQL queries possible.

This component must be used as an output component. It allows you to carry out actions on a table or on the data of a table in a Vertica database. It also allows you to create a reject flow using a Row > Rejects link to filter data in error. For an example of tMysqlOutput in use, see Retrieving data in error with a Reject link.

Due to license incompatibility, one or more JARs required to use this component are not provided. You can install the missing JARs for this particular component by clicking the Install button on the Component tab view. You can also find out and add all missing JARs easily on the Modules tab in the Integration perspective of your studio. For details, see Installing external modules. You can find more details about how to install external modules in Talend Help Center (https://help.talend.com).
