Function |
tAccessRow is the specific component for this database query. It executes the SQL query stated onto the specified database. The row suffix means the component implements a flow in the job design although it doesn't provide output. | |
Purpose |
Depending on the nature of the query and the database, tAccessRow acts on the actual DB structure or on the data (although without handling data). The SQLBuilder tool helps you write easily your SQL statements. |

Basic settings |
Property type |
Either Built-in or Repository. Since version 5.6, both the Built-In mode and the Repository mode are available in any of the Talend solutions. |
|
|
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. |
|
Use an existing connection |
Select this check box and in the Component List click the relevant connection component to reuse the connection details you already defined. NoteWhen 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:
For an example about how to share a database connection across Job levels, see Talend Studio User Guide. |
|
DB Version |
Select the Access database version that you are using. |
|
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. |
|
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. The schema is either Built-In or stored remotely in the Repository. Since version 5.6, both the Built-In mode and the Repository mode are available in any of the Talend solutions. |
|
|
Built-in: The schema is created and stored locally for this component only. Related topic: see Talend Studio User Guide. |
|
|
Repository: The schema already exists and is stored in the Repository, hence can be reused. Related topic: see Talend Studio User Guide. |
Click Edit schema to make changes to the schema. If the current schema is of the Repository type, three options are available:
| ||
|
Table Name |
Name of the source table where changes made to data should be captured. |
|
Query type |
The query can be Built-in for a particular Job, or for commonly used query, it can be stored in the Repository to ease the query reuse. Since version 5.6, both the Built-In mode and the Repository mode are available in any of the Talend solutions. |
|
|
Built-in: Fill in manually the query statement or build it graphically using SQLBuilder |
|
|
Repository: Select the relevant query stored in the Repository. The Query field gets accordingly filled in. |
|
Query |
Enter your DB query paying particularly attention to properly sequence the fields in order to match the schema definition. |
|
Commit every |
Number of rows to be completed before committing batches of rows together into the DB. This option ensures transaction quality (but not rollback) and above all better performance on executions. |
|
Die on error |
This check box is selected by default. Clear the check box to skip the row on error and complete the process for error-free rows. If needed, you can retrieve the rows on error via a Row > Rejects link. |
Advanced settings |
Propagate QUERY's recordset |
Select this check box to insert the result of the query into a COLUMN of the current flow. Select this column from the use column list. |
|
Use PreparedStatement |
Select this check box if you want to query the database using a PreparedStatement. In the Set PreparedStatement Parameter table, define the parameters represented by "?" in the SQL instruction of the Query field in the Basic Settings tab. Parameter Index: Enter the parameter position in the SQL instruction. Parameter Type: Enter the parameter type. Parameter Value: Enter the parameter value.
NoteThis option is very useful if you need to execute the same query several times. Performance levels are increased |
|
Commit every |
Number of rows to be completed before committing batches of rows together into the DB. This option ensures transaction quality (but not rollback) and above all better performance on executions. |
|
tStat Catcher Statistics |
Select this check box to collect log data at the component level. |
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 Scenario 3: Reading data from MySQL databases through context-based dynamic connections and Scenario: 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. | |
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 |
This component offers the flexibility of the DB query and covers all possible SQL queries. | |
Log4j | If you are using a subscription-based version of the Studio, the activity of this component can be logged using the log4j feature. For more information on this feature, see Talend Studio User Guide. For more information on the log4j logging levels, see the Apache documentation at http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/Level.html. | |
Limitation |
If you are using an ODBC driver, you need to work with Java 7, and make sure that your JVM and ODBC versions match up: both 64-bit or 32-bit. When working with Java 8, this component supports only the General collation mode of Access. |
