tMaxDBOutput Standard properties

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

The Standard tMaxDBOutput component belongs to the Databases family.

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

Basic settings

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 Centralizing database metadata.
Host	Database server IP address.
Port	Listening port number of 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, 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 and that the table must exist for the insert operation to succeed.
Action on table	On the table defined, you can perform one of the following operations: None: No operation is carried out. Drop and create table: The table is removed and created again. Create table: The table does not exist and gets created. Create table if not exists: The table is created if it does not exist. Clear table: The table content is deleted. Truncate table: The table content is deleted. You do not have the possibility to rollback the operation.
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. Update: Make changes to existing entries. Information noteNote: In cases where all the schema columns are set as keys, this action yields an error and the Job fails. Insert or update: Insert a new record. If the record with the given reference already exists, an update would be made. Information noteNote: In cases where all the schema columns are set as keys, this action yields a warning message and the Job continues. Update or insert: Update the record with the given reference. If the record does not exist, a new record would be inserted. Information noteNote: In cases where all the schema columns are set as keys, this action yields a warning message and the Job continues. Delete: Remove entries corresponding to the input flow. Information noteWarning: It is necessary to specify at least one column as a primary key on which the Update and Delete operations are based. You can do that by clicking Edit Schema and selecting the check box(es) next to the column(s) you want to set as primary key(s). For an advanced use, click the Advanced settings view where you can simultaneously define primary keys for the Update and Delete operations. To do that: Select the Use field options check box and then in the Key in update column, select the check boxes next to the column names you want to use as a base for the Update operation. Do the same in the Key in delete column for the Delete operation.
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.
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.

Advanced settings

Commit every	Enter the 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 execution.
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.
tStatCatcher Statistics	Select this check box to collect log data at the component level.
Enable parallel execution	Select this check box to perform high-speed data processing, by treating multiple data flows simultaneously. Note that this feature depends on the database or the application ability to handle multiple inserts in parallel as well as the number of CPU affected. In the Number of parallel executions field, either: Enter the number of parallel executions desired. Press Ctrl + Space and select the appropriate context variable from the list. For further information about context variables, see Using contexts and variables. 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

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 more information about variables, see Using contexts and variables.

Usage

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 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.
Limitation	This component requires installation of its related jar files.
