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

The Standard tEXARow component belongs to the Databases family.

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

Note: 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 Dynamic database components.

Basic settings

Database

Select a type of database 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 database connection fields that follow are completed automatically using the data retrieved.

Use an existing connection

Select this check box and from the list displayed select the relevant connection component to reuse the connection details you have already defined.

Note: When a Job contains the parent Job and the child Job, if you need to share an existing connection between the two levels, for example, to share the connection created by the parent Job with the child Job, you have to:
  1. In the parent level, register the database connection to be shared in the Basic settings view of the connection component which creates that very database connection.

  2. In the child level, use a dedicated connection component to read that registered database connection.

For an example about how to share a database connection across Job levels, see Talend Studio User Guide.

Host

Enter the host or host list of the EXASol database servers. EXASol can run in a cluster environment. The valid value can be a simple IP address (for example, 172.16.173.128), an IP range list (for example, 172.16.173.128..130 that represents three servers 172.16.173.128, 172.16.173.129, and 172.16.173.130), or a comma-separated host list (for example, server1,server2,server3) of the Exasol database cluster.

Port

Enter the listening port number of the Exasol database cluster.

Schema name

Enter the name of the schema you want to use.

Username and Password

Enter the user authentication data to access the Exasol database.

To enter the password, click the [...] button next to the password field, and then in the pop-up dialog box enter the password between double quotes and click OK to save the settings.

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.

 

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.

Table Name

Enter the name of the table to be processed.

Query Type

Either Built-In or Repository .

  • Built-In: Enter the query manually or with the help of the SQLBuilder.

  • Repository: Select the appropriate query from the Repository. The Query field is then completed automatically.

Guess Query

Click the Guess Query button to generate the query that corresponds to the table schema in the Query field.

Query

Enter the database query paying particularly attention to the proper sequence of the fields in order to match the schema definition.

Die on error

Select the check box to stop the execution of the Job when an error occurs.

Clear the check box to skip any rows on error and complete the process for error-free rows. When errors are skipped, you can collect the rows on error using a Row > Reject link.

Advanced settings

Additional JDBC parameters

Specify additional connection properties for the database connection you are creating. The properties are separated by semicolon and each property is a key-value pair, for example, encryption=1;clientname=Talend.

This field is not available if the Use an existing connection check box is selected.

Propagate QUERY's recordset

Select this check box to insert the query results in one of the flow columns. Select the particular column from the use column list.

Use PreparedStatement

Select this check box to use prepared statements and in the Set PreparedStatement Parameters table displayed, add as many parameters as needed and set the following attributes for each parameter:

  • Parameter Index: enter the index of the prepared statement parameter.

  • Parameter Type: click in the cell and select the type of the parameter from the list.

  • Parameter Value: enter the value of the parameter.

Commit every

Enter the number of rows to be included in each batch before the data is written. This option guarantees the quality of the transaction (although there is no rollback option) and improves performance.

tStatCatcher Statistics

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

Global Variables

Global Variables

QUERY: the query statement being processed. This is a Flow variable and it returns a string.

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 further information about variables, see Talend Studio User Guide.

Usage

Usage rule

This component offers query flexibility as it covers all possible SQL query requirements.

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 your studio. For details, see Installing external modules. You can find more details about how to install external modules in Talend Help Center (https://help.talend.com).
