Overview

You can use this Snap to insert new records into database tables. The Snap executes an SQL Insert statement with the specified values. Key-value pairs are used to insert columns and their respective values into the table columns. Missing columns from the document results in inserting null values into them.

    The Snap outputs one document for every record written, therefore any document processing Snap can be used downstream. 

    If an output view is available, then the original document that was used to create the statement is written to the output with the status of the insert executed.

    Error

    Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter

    while

    when running the Pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab. The available options are:

    • Stop Pipeline Execution: Stops the current

    pipeline
    • Pipeline execution when the Snap encounters an error.

    • Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the

    rest of the
    • remaining records.

    • Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

      Select one of the three following modes in which the Snap executes:
      * Validate & Execute. Performs limited execution of the Snap and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation, then performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime.
      * Execute only. Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data.
      * Disabled. Disables the Snap and all Snaps downstream from it.

    Check boxes:

    • If selected, <Snap behavior>.
      If selected, an empty file is written when the incoming document has no data.

    • If selected, <behavior>. If not selected/Otherwise, <behavior>
      Use "If not selected" if the first sentence is long.
      If selected, the Snap uses the file path value as is. Otherwise, the Snap uses the file path value in the URL.
      If selected, an empty file is written when the incoming document has empty data. If there is no incoming document at the input view of the Snap, no file is written regardless of the value of the property.

    • Select to <action>
      Use this if the behavior is binary. Either this or that, where the converse behavior is apparent/obvious.

    Notes in field descriptions

    • Confluence’s new editor does not allow nesting of most macros inside another macro, especially the Note/Alert/Warning/Info (Panel) macros inside a table macro and Excerpt macros inside Expand or Panel Macro+ macros. So, as a workaround use the Footnotes approach as mentioned below:

      • Assign numbers at the Note locations in the form of follow through phrases like See Note 2 below this table. or such.

      • Add your Notes---an appropriate Note/Alert/Warning/Info (Panel) macro---immediately below the macro (for example, Table macro) beginning the content with the corresponding number assigned.

    Create table if not present

    Default ValueDeselected

    Checkbox

    Select this checkbox to create the target table if it does not exist:

    • If a second input view is configured for the Snap and it contains a document with schema (metadata) of the source table, the Snap creates the new (target) table using the same schema (metadata). However, if the schema comes from a different database, the Snap might fail with the Unable to create table:"<table_name>" error because of data type incompatibility.

    • In the absence of a second input view (the schema/metadata document), the Snap creates a table based on the data types of the columns generated from the first row of the input document (first input view).

    Because of implementation details, a newly created table is not visible to subsequent database Snaps during runtime validation. If you must immediately use the newly updated data, use a child Pipeline that you invoke through a Pipeline Execute Snap.

    Number of Retries

    Default ValueDeselected

    String/Expression

    Specify the maximum number of attempts to be made to receive a response. The request is terminated if the attempts do not result in a response.

    Retry Interval (seconds)

    Default Value1
    Example: 10

    String/Expression

    Specify the time period between two successive retry requests. A retry happens only when the previous attempt resulted in an exception. 

    Enable identity insert

    Default ValueDeselected

    Checkbox

    Select this checkbox to insert values from the input document into the target table identity column. Ensure that the target table contains an identity column. If you do not select this checkbox, then do not enter any value for the identity column in the input document.

    Snap Execution

    Default Value
    Example: Validate & Execute

    Dropdown list

    N/A

    Select one of the three modes in which the Snap executes. Available options are:

    • Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap, and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime.

    • Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data.

    • Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.

    Examples

    Excluding Fields from the Input Data Stream

    We can exclude the unrequired fields from the input data stream by omitting them in the Input schema field set. This example demonstrates how we can use the <Snap Name> to achieve this result:

    ...

    Table Creation

    If the table does not exist when the Snap tries to do the insert, and the Create table if not present field is selected, a new table is created with the columns and data types required to hold the values in the first input document. If you would like the table to be created with the same schema as a source table, you can connect the second output view of a Select Snap to the second input view of this Snap. The extra view in the Select and Bulk Load Snaps are used to pass metadata about the table, effectively allowing you to replicate a table from one database to another.

    The table metadata document that is read in by the second input view contains a dump of the JDBC DatabaseMetaData class. The document can be manipulated to affect the CREATE TABLE statement that is generated by this Snap. For example, to rename the name column to full_name, you can use a Mapper Snap that sets the path $.columns.name.COLUMN_NAME to full_name.  The document contains the following fields:

    • columns - Contains the result of the getColumns() method with each column as a separate field in the object. Changing the COLUMN_NAME value will change the name of the column in the created table. Note that if you change a column name, you do not need to change the name of the field in the row input documents. The Snap will automatically translate from the original name to the new name. For example, when changing from name to full_name, the name field in the input document is put into the "full_name" column. You can also drop a column by setting the COLUMN_NAME value to null or the empty string.  The other fields of interest in the column definition are:

      • TYPE_NAME - The type to use for the column.  If this type is not known to the database, the DATA_TYPE field is used as a fallback.  If you want to explicitly set a type for a column, set the DATA_TYPE field.

      • _SL_PRECISION - Contains the result of the getPrecision() method.  This field is used with the _SL_SCALE field for setting the precision and scale of a DECIMAL or NUMERIC field.

      • _SL_SCALE - Contains the result of the getScale() method.  This field is used with the _SL_PRECISION field for setting the precision and scale of a DECIMAL or NUMERIC field.

    • primaryKeyColumns - Contains the result of the getPrimaryKeys() method with each column as a separate field in the object.

    • declaration - Contains the result of the getTables() method for this table. The values in this object are just informational. The target table name is taken from the Snap property.

    • importedKeys - Contains the foreign key information from the getImportedKeys() method. The generatedCREATE TABLE statement will include FOREIGN KEY constraints based on the contents of this object. Note that you will need to change the PKTABLE_NAME value if you changed the name of the referenced table when replicating it.

    • indexInfo - Contains the result of the getIndexInfo() method for this table with each index as a separated field in the object.  Any UNIQUE indexes in here will be included in the CREATE TABLE statement generated by this Snap.

    Note

    This Snap will not automatically fix some errors encountered during table creation because it requires user intervention to resolve correctly. For example, if the source table contains a column with a type that does not have a direct mapping in the target database, the Snap fails to execute. You then need to add a Mapper Snap to change the metadata document to explicitly set the values needed to produce a valid "CREATE TABLE" statement.

    Examples

    Inserting Records by Creating a New Table

    This example Pipeline demonstrates how to insert data into a table. The table 'employee1' does not exist on the database initially. So, the Snap first creates the table 'Employee1' and then inserts the records read and parsed using the upstream Snaps.

    ...

    First read the data that you want to insert with a File Reader Snap:

    ...

    The CSV file contains the following data:

    ...

    The CSV Parser Snap parses the data from the CSV file in a proper format, ready to be inserted into the database using the Azure Synapse SQL Insert Snap:

    ...

    Then we pass this data to Azure Synapse SQL Insert Snap to be inserted to a table name 'Employee1' under schema 'dbo':
