# tOracleOutputBulkExec

Executes the Insert action in the specified Oracle database.

As a dedicated component, it allows gains in performance during Insert operations to an Oracle database.

The tOracleOutputBulk and tOracleBulkExec components are used together in a two step process. In the first step, an output file is generated. In the second step, this file is used in the INSERT operation used to feed a database. These two steps are fused together in the tOracleOutputBulkExec component.

## tOracleOutputBulkExec Standard properties

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

The Standard tOracleOutputBulkExec component belongs to the Databases family.

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

Information noteNote: The database server/client must be installed on the same machine where Talend Studio is installed or where the Job using tOracleOutputBulkExec is deployed, so that the component functions properly.

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](https://help.qlik.com/talend/r/en-US/8.0/components/db-generic/db-generic-component).

## Basic settings

| Properties | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Database | Select the desired database type from the list and click<br>Apply. |
| Property type | <ul> <li> <p> <span>Either <span>Built-in</span> or <span>Repository</span> </span>.</p> </li> <li> <p> <span>Built-in</span>: No property data stored							centrally.</p> </li> <li> <p> <span>Repository</span>: Select the repository							file in which the properties are stored. The fields that follow are							completed automatically using the data retrieved.</p> </li> </ul> |
| Use an existing connection | Select this check box and in the Component<br>List drop-down list, select the desired connection component to<br>reuse the connection details you already defined.<br><br>Note that connections that are of<br>WALLET type are for the tCreateTable component, the tOracleInput<br>component, and the tOracleOutput component only. Make sure that the connection selected is<br>not of the WALLET type to prevent possible errors.<br><br>Information noteNote: When a Job contains the parent Job and the child Job, do the following if you<br>want to share an existing connection between the parent Job and the child Job (for example,<br>to share the connection created by the parent Job with the child Job).<br><br><ol> <li>In the parent level, register the database connection to be shared               in the <span>Basic settings</span> view of the               connection component which creates that very database connection. </li> <li>In the child level, use a dedicated connection component to read               that registered database connection. </li> </ol><br><br>For an example about how to share a database connection across Job levels,<br>see [Sharing a database connection](https://help.qlik.com/talend/r/en-US/7.3/studio-user-guide/sharing-database-connection). |
| Connection type | Drop-down list of available drivers:<br><br><br>Oracle OCI: Select this connection type<br>to use Oracle Call Interface with a set of C-language software APIs that<br>provide an interface to the Oracle database.<br><br><br>Oracle Service Name: Select this<br>connection type to use the TNS alias that you give when you connect to<br>the remote database.<br><br><br>Oracle SID: Select this connection type<br>to uniquely identify a particular database on a system.<br><br><br>Oracle Custom: Select this connection<br>type to access a clustered database. |
| DB Version | Select the Oracle version in use |
| Host | Database server IP address.<br><br>Currently, only *localhost*, *127.0.0.1* or the exact IP address of the local machine<br>is allowed for proper functioning.

| Table | Name of the table to be written. Note that only one table can be<br>written at a time and that the table must exist for the insert operation<br>to succeed. |
| Action on table | On the table defined, you can perform one of the following<br>operations:<br><br><br>None: No operations is carried<br>out.<br><br><br>Drop and create table: The table is<br>removed and created again.<br><br><br>Create table: The table does not exist<br>and gets created.<br><br><br>Create table if not exists: The table<br>is created if does not exist.<br><br><br>Drop table if exists and create: The<br>table is removed if it already exists and created again.<br><br><br>Clear table: The table content is<br>deleted.<br><br><br>Truncate table: The table content is<br>deleted. You do not have the possibility to rollback the<br>operation. |
| File Name | Name of the file to be generated and loaded.<br><br>Information noteWarning:<br><br>This file is generated on the machine specified by the URI in the<br>Host field so it should be on<br>the same machine as the database server. |
| Create directory if not exists | This check box is selected by default. It creates a directory to hold<br>the output table if required. |
| Append | Select this check box to add the new rows at the end of the<br>file. |
| Action on data | On the data of the table defined, you can perform:<br><br><br>Insert: Insert data to an empty table.<br>If the table already contains data, the Job stops and the existing data<br>remains in the table.<br><br><br>Update: Update the existing data. You<br>have to set the key on the schema if this option is selected.<br><br><br>Append:<br>Append data to the table, whether the table is empty or not.<br><br><br>Replace:<br>if the table already contains data, delete all the existing data and insert the new<br>data. If the table is empty, insert the new data.<br><br><br>Truncate: If the table already contains<br>data, truncate all the existing data and insert the new data. If the<br>table is empty, insert the new data. |

## Usage

| Usage guidance | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Usage rule** | This component is mainly used when no particular transformation is<br>required on the data to be loaded onto the database. |
| Dynamic settings | Click the [+] button to add a row in the table<br>and fill the Code field with a context<br>variable to choose your database connection dynamically from multiple<br>connections planned in your Job. This feature is useful when you need to<br>access database tables having the same data structure but in different<br>databases, especially when you are working in an environment where you<br>cannot change your Job settings, for example, when your Job has to be<br>deployed and executed independent of Talend Studio.<br><br>The Dynamic settings table is<br>available only when the Use an existing<br>connection check box is selected in the Basic settings view. Once a dynamic parameter is<br>defined, the Component List box in the<br>Basic settings view becomes unusable.<br><br>For examples on using dynamic parameters, see [Reading data from databases through<br>context-based dynamic connections](https://help.qlik.com/talend/r/en-US/8.0/components/defining-context-groups/reading-data-from-databases-through-context-based-dynamic-connections) and [Reading data from different MySQL databases<br>using dynamically loaded connection parameters](https://help.qlik.com/talend/r/en-US/8.0/components/context/reading-data-from-different-mysql-databases-using-dynamically-loaded-connection-parameters).
