tGreenplumBulkExec Standard properties

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

The Standard tGreenplumBulkExec component belongs to the Databases family.

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

Information noteNote: This component is a specific version of a dynamic database connector. The properties related to database settings vary depending on your database type selection. For more information about dynamic database connectors, see DB Generic components.

Basic settings

Database

Select the desired database type 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.

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.

Information noteNote: When a Job contains the parent Job and the child Job, do the following if you want to share an existing connection between the parent Job and the child Job (for example, to share the connection created by the parent Job with the child Job).
  1. In the parent level, register the database connection to be shared in the Basic settings view of the connection component which creates that very database connection.
  2. In the child level, use a dedicated connection component to read that registered database connection.

For an example about how to share a database connection across Job levels, see Sharing a database connection.

Host

Database server IP address.

Port

Listening port number of DB server.

Database

Name of the database.

Schema

Exact name of the schema.

Username and Password

DB user authentication data.

To enter the password, click the [...] button next to the password field, enter the password in double quotes in the pop-up dialog box, 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.

Filename

Name of the file to be loaded.

Information noteWarning:

This file is located on the machine specified by the URI in the Host field so it should be on the same machine as the database server.

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 Retrieving table schemas.

 

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 JDBC Parameters

Specify additional JDBC parameters for the database connection created.

DB driver

Select the desired database driver from the drop-down list, which can be Greenplum and PostgreSQL and defaults to Greenplum.

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

Action on data

Select the operation you want to perform:

Bulk insert Bulk update The details asked will be different according to the action chosen.

Copy the OID for each row

Retrieve the ID item for each row.

Contains a header line with the names of each column in the file

Specify that the table contains header.

File type

Select the file type to process.

Null string

String displayed to indicate that the value is null.

Fields terminated by

Character, string or regular expression to separate fields.

Escape char

Character of the row to be escaped

Text enclosure

Character used to enclose text.

Force not null for columns

Define the columns nullability

Force not null: Select the check box next to the column you want to define as not null.

tStat Catcher Statistics

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

Usage

Usage rule

This component is generally used with a tGreenplumOutputBulk component. Used together they offer gains in performance while feeding a Greenplum database.

Dynamic settings

Click the [+] button to add a row in the table and fill the Code field with a context variable to choose your database connection dynamically from multiple connections planned in your Job. This feature is useful when you need to access database tables having the same data structure but in different databases, especially when you are working in an environment where you cannot change your Job settings, for example, when your Job has to be deployed and executed independent of Talend Studio.

The Dynamic settings table is available only when the Use an existing connection check box is selected in the Basic settings view. Once a dynamic parameter is defined, the Component List box in the Basic settings view becomes unusable.

For examples on using dynamic parameters, see Reading data from databases through context-based dynamic connections and Reading data from different MySQL databases using dynamically loaded connection parameters. For more information on Dynamic settings and context variables, see Dynamic schema and Creating a context group and define context variables in it.
