tAmazonMysqlOutput Standard properties

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

The Standard tAmazonMysqlOutput component belongs to the Cloud and the Databases families.

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 fields that follow are completed automatically using the data retrieved.
DB Version	MySQL 5 is available.
Use an existing connection	Select this check box and in the Component List drop-down list, select the desired connection component to reuse the connection details you 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: 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. 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	Database server IP address.
Port	Listening port number of DB server.
Database	Name of the database.
Username and Password	DB user authentication data. 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.
Table	Name of the table to be written. Note that only one table can be written at a time
Action on table	On the table defined, you can perform one of the following operations: None: No operation is carried out. Drop and create table: The table is removed and created again. Create table: The table does not exist and gets created. Create table if not exists: The table is created if it does not exist. Drop table if exists and create: The table is removed if it already exists and created again. Clear table: The table content is deleted. Truncate table: The table content is quickly deleted. However, you will not be able to rollback the operation.
Action on data	On the data of the table defined, you can perform: Insert: Add new entries to the table. If duplicates are found, the Job stops. Update: Make changes to existing entries. Note: In cases where all the schema columns are set as keys, this action yields an error and the Job fails. Insert or update: Insert a new record. If the record with the given reference already exists, an update would be made. Note: In cases where all the schema columns are set as keys, this action yields a warning message and the Job continues. Update or insert: Update the record with the given reference. If the record does not exist, a new record would be inserted. Note: In cases where all the schema columns are set as keys, this action yields a warning message and the Job continues. Delete: Remove entries corresponding to the input flow. Replace: Add new entries to the table. If an old row in the table has the same value as a new row for a PRIMARY KEY or a UNIQUE index, the old row is deleted before the new row is inserted. Insert or update on duplicate key or unique index: Add entries if the inserted value does not exist or update entries if the inserted value already exists and there is a risk of violating a unique index or primary key. Note: In cases where all the schema columns are set as keys, this action yields an error and the Job fails. Insert Ignore: Add only new rows to prevent duplicate key errors. Warning: You must specify at least one column as a primary key on which the Update and Delete operations are based. You can do that by clicking Edit Schema and selecting the check box(es) next to the column(s) you want to set as primary key(s). For an advanced use, click the Advanced settings view where you can simultaneously define primary keys for the update and delete operations. To do that: Select the Use field options check box and then in the Key in update column, select the check boxes next to the column name on which you want to base the update operation. Do the same in the Key in delete column for the deletion operation. Note: The dynamic schema feature can be used in the following modes: Insert; Update; Insert or update; Update or insert; Delete.
Schema and Edit schema	A schema is a row description, i.e. it defines the number of fields to be processed and passed on to the next component. The schema is either Built-in or stored remotely in the Repository. This component offers the advantage of the dynamic schema feature. This allows you to retrieve unknown columns from source files or to copy batches of columns from a source without mapping each column individually. For further information about dynamic schemas, see Talend Studio User Guide. This dynamic schema feature is designed for the purpose of retrieving unknown columns of a table and is recommended to be used for this purpose only; it is not recommended for the use of creating tables.
	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 the related description of retrieving table schemas in Talend Studio User Guide.
Die on error	This check box is selected by default. Clear the check box to skip the row in error and complete the process for error-free rows. If needed, you can retrieve the rows in error via a Row>Rejects link.

Advanced settings

Additional JDBC parameters	Specify additional connection properties for the DB connection you are creating. This option is not available if you have selected the Use an existing connection check box in the Basic settings. Note: You can press Ctrl+Space to access a list of predefined global variables.
Extend Insert	Select this check box to carry out a bulk insert of a defined set of lines instead of inserting lines one by one. The gain in system performance is considerable. Number of rows per insert: enter the number of rows to be inserted per operation. Note that the higher the value specidied, the lower performance levels shall be due to the increase in memory demands. Note: This option is not compatible with the Reject link. You should therefore clear the check box if you are using a Row > Rejects link with this component. Warning: If you are using this component with tMysqlLastInsertID, ensure that the Extend Insert check box in Advanced Settings is not selected. Extend Insert allows for batch loading, however, if the check box is selected, only the ID of the last line of the last batch will be returned.
Use Batch	Select this check box to activate the batch mode for data processing. Note: This check box is available only when you have selected, the Update or the Delete option in the Action on data field.
Batch Size	Specify the number of records to be processed in each batch. This field appears only when the Use batch mode check box is selected.
Commit every	Number of rows to be included in the batch before it is committed to the DB. This option ensures transaction quality (but not rollback) and, above all, a higher performance level.
Additional Columns	This option is not available if you have just created the DB table (even if you delete it beforehand). This option allows you to call SQL functions to perform actions on columns, provided that these are not insert, update or delete actions, or actions that require pre-processing.
	Name: Type in the name of the schema column to be altered or inserted.
	SQL expression: Type in the SQL statement to be executed in order to alter or insert the data in the corrsponding column.
	Position: Select Before, Replace or After, depending on the action to be performed on the reference column.
	Reference column: Type in a reference column that tAmazonMysqlOutput can use to locate or replace the new column, or the column to be modified.
Use field options	Select this check box to customize a request, particularly if multiple actions are being carried out on the data.
Use Hint Options	Select this check box to activate the hint configuration area which helps you optimize a query's execution. In this area, parameters are: - HINT: specify the hint you need, using the syntax `/+ /.` - POSITION: specify where you put the hint in a SQL statement. - SQL STMT: select the SQL statement you need to use.
Debug query mode	Select this check box to display each step during processing entries in a database.
Use duplicate key update mode insert	Updates the values of the columns specified, in the event of duplicate primary keys.: Column: Between double quotation marks, enter the name of the column to be updated. Value: Enter the action you want to carry out on the column. Note: To use this option you must first of all select the Insert mode in the Action on data list found in the Basic Settings view.
tStatCatcher Statistics	Select this check box to collect log data at the component level.
Enable parallel execution	Select this check box to perform high-speed data processing, by treating multiple data flows simultaneously. Note that this feature depends on the database or the application ability to handle multiple inserts in parallel as well as the number of CPU affected. In the Number of parallel executions field, either: Enter the number of parallel executions desired. Press Ctrl + Space and select the appropriate context variable from the list. For further information, see Talend Studio User Guide. Note that when parallel execution is enabled, it is not possible to use global variables to retrieve return values in a subJob. Warning: The Action on table field is not available with the parallelization function. Therefore, you must use a tCreateTable component if you want to create a table. When parallel execution is enabled, it is not possible to use global variables to retrieve return values in a subJob.

Global Variables

Global Variables	NB_LINE: the number of rows read by an input component or transferred to an output component. This is an After variable and it returns an integer. NB_LINE_UPDATED: the number of rows updated. This is an After variable and it returns an integer. NB_LINE_INSERTED: the number of rows inserted. This is an After variable and it returns an integer. NB_LINE_DELETED: the number of rows deleted. This is an After variable and it returns an integer. NB_LINE_REJECTED: the number of rows rejected. This is an After variable and it returns an integer. QUERY: the query statement processed. This is an After 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.

Usage

Usage rule	This component offers the flexibility benefit of the DB query and covers all of the SQL queries possible. This component must be used as an output component. It allows you to carry out actions on a table or on the data of a table in a MySQL database. It also allows you to create a reject flow using a Row > Rejects link to filter data in error. For an example of tAmazonMysqlOutput in use, see .
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.
