This property is available only when ORACLE CUSTOM is selected from the Connection Type drop-down list and Oracle 12-7 or Oracle 18 and above is selected from the DB Version drop-down list.

TrustStore file

The path to the TrustStore file used to authenticate your database server in SSL authentication.

This property is available only when the Use SSL check box is selected.

The password for the TrustStore file.

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.

Additional JDBC parameters

Specify additional connection properties for the DB connection you are creating.

Use or register a shared DB Connection

Select this check box to share your database connection or fetch a database connection shared by a parent or child Job, and in the Shared DB Connection Name field displayed, enter the name for the shared database connection. This allows you to share one single database connection (except the database schema setting) among several database connection components from different Job levels that can be either parent or child.

This option is incompatible with the Use dynamic Job and Use an independent process to run subJob options of the tRunJob component. Using a shared connection together with a tRunJob component with either of these two options enabled will cause your Job to fail.

This check box is not available when the Specify a data source alias check box is selected.

Select this check box and specify the alias of a data source created on the Talend Runtime side to use the shared connection pool defined in the data source configuration. This option works only when you deploy and run your Job in Talend Runtime .

Auto Commit

Select this check box to commit any changes to the database automatically upon the transaction.

With this check box selected, you cannot use the corresponding commit component to commit changes to the database; likewise, when using the corresponding commit component, this check box has to be cleared. By default, the auto commit function is disabled and changes must be committed explicitly using the corresponding commit component.

Note that the auto commit function commits each SQL statement as a single transaction immediately after the statement is executed while the commit component does not commit only until all of the statements are executed. For this reason, if you need more room to manage your transactions in a Job, it is recommended to use the commit component.

tStatCatcher Statistics

Select this check box to gather the Job processing metadata at a Job level as well as at each component level.

Support NLS

Select this option to enable globalization support. See Overview of Globalization Support for related information.

This option is available when Oracle 18 and above is selected from the DB Version drop-down list in the Basic settings view.

Usage rule

This component is more commonly used with other Oracle components, especially with the tOracleCommit and tOracleRollback components.
