tOracleRow Standard properties - Cloud

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

The Standard tOracleRow 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 DB Generic components.

Basic settings

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.
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 that connections that are of WALLET type are for the tCreateTable component, the tOracleInput component, and the tOracleOutput component only. Make sure that the connection selected is not of the WALLET type to prevent possible errors. Note: When a Job contains the parent Job and the child Job, do the following if you want to share an existing connection between the parent Job and the child Job (for example, to share the connection created by the parent Job with the child Job). 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 Sharing a database connection.
Connection type	Drop-down list of available drivers: Oracle OCI: Select this connection type to use Oracle Call Interface with a set of C-language software APIs that provide an interface to the Oracle database. Oracle Service Name: Select this connection type to use the TNS alias that you give when you connect to the remote database. Oracle SID: Select this connection type to uniquely identify a particular database on a system. Oracle Custom: Select this connection type to access a clustered database.
DB Version	Select the Oracle version in use.
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, enter the password in double quotes in the pop-up dialog box, 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. 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.
	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.
Query type	Either Built-in or Repository.
	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.
Use NB_LINE_	This option allows you feed the variable with the number of rows inserted/updated/deleted to the next component or subJob. This field only applies if the query entered in Query field is a INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE query. NONE: does not feed the variable. INSERTED: feeds the variable with the number of rows inserted. UPDATED: feeds the variable with the number of rows updated. DELETED: feeds the variable with the number of rows deleted.
Specify a data source alias	Select this check box and specify the alias of a data source created on the Talend Runtime side to use the shared connection pool defined in the data source configuration. This option works only when you deploy and run your Job in Talend Runtime . If you use the component's own DB configuration, your data source connection will be closed at the end of the component. To prevent this from happening, use a shared DB connection with the data source alias specified. This check box is not available when the Use an existing connection check box is selected.
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. Note: This option allows the component to have a different schema from that of the preceding component. Moreover, the column that holds the QUERY's recordset should be set to the type of Object and this component is usually followed by tParseRecordSet.
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. Note: This option is very useful if you need to execute the same query several times. Performance levels are increased. You can also use PreparedStatement to avoid SQL injection. For a detailed scenario of utilizing this feature, see Using PreparedStatement objects to query data.
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.
tStatCatcher Statistics	Select this check box to collect log data at the component level.
Support NLS	Select this option to enable globalization support. See Overview of Globalization Support for related information. This option is available when the Use an existing connection option is cleared and Oracle 18 and above is selected from the DB Version drop-down list in the Basic settings view. Note: This option is available only when you have installed the 8.0.1-R2022-09 Talend Studio Monthly update or a later one delivered by Talend. For more information, check with your administrator.

Global Variables

Global Variables	QUERY: the query statement being processed. This is a Flow variable and it returns a string. 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. 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 more information about variables, see Using contexts and variables.

Usage

Usage rule	This component offers the flexibility of the DB query and covers all possible SQL queries.
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 Dynamic schema and Creating a context group and define context variables in it.
