...

The Snap might fail due to a connection issue. We recommend that you roll back to the main8614 version.

...

This Snap uses account references created on the Accounts page of SnapLogic Manager to handle access to this endpoint. See Configuring JDBC Accounts for information on setting up this type of account.

...

This Snap has at most one document error view and produces zero or more documents in the view.

Note
Database write Snaps output all records of a batch (as configured in your account settings) to the error view if the write fails during batch processing.

Examples of Upstream and Downstream Snaps

Description

Input 

Document

  • Min: 1

  • Max: 2

  • Mapper

  • JSON Generator

  • CSV Parser

The second input view can be added to use the metadata of the source table as a document so that the table is created in SQL with a similar schema as the source table. The metadata is not used if the table already exists.

Output

Document

  • Min: 0

  • Max: 1

  • JSON Generator

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 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 execution when the Snap encounters an error.

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

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

Learn more about Error handling in Pipelines.

Snap Settings

Info
  • Asterisk (*): Indicates a mandatory field.

  • Suggestion icon ((blue star)): Indicates a list that is dynamically populated based on the configuration.

  • Expression icon ((blue star)): Indicates whether the value is an expression (if enabled) or a static value (if disabled). Learn more about Using Expressions in SnapLogic.

  • Add icon ((blue star)): Indicates that you can add fields in the field set.

  • Remove icon ((blue star)): Indicates that you can remove fields from the field set.

Field Name

Field Type

Description

Label*

Default ValueGeneric JDBC - Insert
ExampleGeneric_JDBC_Insert

String

Specify the name for the Snap. You can modify this to be more specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your

...

Pipeline.

Schema

...

 

...

Name

Default Value: None
Example: dbo

String/Expression

Specify the database schema name.

...

If it is not defined, then the suggestion for the Table Name will retrieve all

...

tables names of all schemas. The property

...

is suggestible and will retrieve available database schemas during suggest values.

...

The values can be passed using the

...

Pipeline parameters but not the upstream parameter.

Table Name*

Default Value: None
Example:

...

Table name

Required. The table into which to insert the data.

...

people

String/Expression

Specify the name of a table to which the records are to be inserted.

The values can be passed using the

...

Pipeline parameters but not the upstream parameter.

...

Create table if not present

Default ValueDeselected

Checkbox

Generates the table statement based on the schema available on the input view.

Preserve case sensitivity

Default value:

...

Deselected

...

Checkbox

Select this checkbox to preserve the case sensitivity of the column names while performing the insert operation.

...

Default value: Not Selected.

...

  • If you deselect the Preserve case sensitivity checkbox, the input documents are loaded to the target table if the key names in the input documents match the target table column names ignoring the case.

  • If you include a second input view, selecting this checkbox has no impact on the column names of the target table, because the Snap uses the metadata from the second input view.

Number of Retries

Default value: 0
Example: 3

Integer/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.

Example: 3

Default value: 0

...

If you provide a string value, the Snap displays the following error:
Invalid type (STRING) for property, expecting a value of type integer

You can use a string value only when the field is expression-enabled.

Retry Interval (seconds)

Default Value1
Example: 10

Integer/Expression

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

Example:  10

Default value: 1

Snap Execution

Default ValueExecute only
Example: Validate & Execute

Dropdown list

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.
