# tSybaseOutputBulk Prepares the file to be used as parameter in the INSERT query to feed the Sybase database. The tSybaseOutputBulk and tSybaseBulkExec components are generally used together as parts of 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 tSybaseOutputBulkExec component, detailed in a separate section. The advantage of using two separate components is that the data can be transformed before it is loaded in the database. Writes a file with columns based on the defined delimiter and the Sybase standards. ## tSybaseOutputBulk Standard properties These properties are used to configure tSybaseOutputBulk running in the Standard Job framework. The Standard tSybaseOutputBulk 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](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
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.

| | File Name | Name of the file to be generated.

Information noteWarning:

This file is generated on the local machine or a shared folder
on the LAN. | | Append | Select this check box to add the new rows at the end of the
file. | | 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 | Properties | Description | | --- | --- | | Row separator | String (ex: "\n"on Unix) to distinguish rows. | | Field separator | Character, string or regular expression to separate fields.

Information noteWarning:

*Fully in line with the Java syntax, this
component does not allow the use of Sybase-orientated
row/field separators, such as \x09.* | | Include header | Select this check box to include the column header in the file. | | 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 | ## Global Variables | Variables | Description | | --- | --- | | Global Variables | NB\_LINE:
the number of rows processed. 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 checkbox is
cleared, if the component has this checkbox.

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](https://help.qlik.com/talend/r/en-US/8.0/studio-user-guide/contexts-and-variables). | ## Usage | Usage guidance | Description | | --- | --- | | **Usage rule** | This component requires installation of its related jar files.

This component is to be used along with tSybaseBulkExec component. Used together they offer
gains in performance while feeding a Sybase database. | | Component family | Databases/Sybase |
