Database Connector

Usage

The Database Connector establishes connections to a database via a JDBC interface and offers the following functionalities:

  • Metadata queries

  • Static database SQL queries

  • Dynamic database XML queries

    No CLOBs can be passed in stored procedures! However, the Database Connector supports the sending/saving of data as CLOB data type for Oracle 9.* databases.

Connector types

  • Input Connector

    Sends a static SQL query or a metadata query to a database and hands the result over to its downstream module.

  • Medium/Output Connector

    Sends a static SQL query, a metadata query or a dynamic XML query to the database and hands over the result to its downstream module.

    Dynamically created XML queries are useful, for example, if the data which must be modified is known at runtime only.

Query timeout

The query timeout can be set via the Variable Mapping using the queryTimeout Module Property.

The value assigned by the user will be taken in seconds.

The queryTimeout value has to be lesser than the timeout value set for the Database Connector in the Workbench.
