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.

SP Name

Type in the exact name of the Stored Procedure

Is Function / Return result in

Select this check box, if a value only is to be returned.

Select on the list the schema column, the value to be returned is based on.

Parameters

Click the Plus button and select the various Schema Columns that will be required by the procedures. Note that the SP schema can hold more columns than there are paramaters used in the procedure.

Select the Type of parameter:

IN: Input parameter.

OUT: Output parameter/return value.

IN OUT: Input parameters is to be returned as value, likely after modification through the procedure (function).

RECORDSET: Input parameters is to be returned as a set of values, rather than single value.

Usage rule

This component is used as intermediary component. It can be used as start component but only input parameters are thus allowed.

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 Talend Studio User Guide.

Limitation

The Stored Procedures syntax should match the Database syntax.
