tMysqlBulkExec Standard Properties

Select the desired database type from the list and click Apply.

Property type

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.

DB Version

Select the version of the database that you are using.

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 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.

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.

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

Clear table: The table content is deleted. You have the possibility to rollback the operation.

Truncate table: The table content is deleted. You do not have the possibility to rollback the operation.

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.

Local file Name

Name of the file to be loaded.

This file should be located on the same machine where Talend Studio is installed or where the Job using tMysqlBulkExec is deployed.

Schema and Edit Schema

A schema is a row description, it defines the number of fields to be processed and passed on to the next component. The schema is either Built-in or stored remotely in the Repository.

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.

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.

Additional JDBC parameters

Specify additional connection properties for the DB connection you are creating. This option is not available if you have selected the Use an existing connection check box in the Basic settings.

Lines terminated by

Character or sequence of characters used to separate lines.

Fields terminated by

Character, string or regular expression to separate fields.

Enclosed by

Character used to enclose text.

Action on data

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

Insert records in table: Add new records to the table.

Update records in table: Make changes to existing records.

Replace records in table: Replace existing records with new ones. Ignore records in table: Ignore the existing records, or insert the new ones.

Records contain NULL value

Check this box if you want to retrieve the null values from the input data flow. If you do not check this box, the null values from the input data flow will be considered as empty fields in the output data flow.

Encoding

Select the encoding from the list or select Custom and define it manually. This field is compulsory for DB data handling.

tStatCatcher Statistics

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

Usage rule

This component is to be used along with tMysqlOutputBulk component. Used together, they can offer gains in performance while feeding a MySQL or Aurora 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.

Limitation

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 Talend Studio. For details, see Installing external modules.
