Database name

Default Value: Auto detect
Example: Oracle

String/Expression

N/A

Choose a database to which the account must be connected. The available options are:

• Auto detect: If you select Auto detect, and if the Snap detects the target database as NetSuite, then the Limit rows field in the Generic JDBC - Select Snap is ignored.

• PostgreSQL

• Redshift

• NetSuite: If you select NetSuite, then the Limit rows field in the Generic JDBC - Select Snap ignored irrespective of whether you provide a value or not.

• MySQL

• Oracle

• SQL Server 2012

• SQL Server 2008

• SAPHana

• Apache Hive

• DB2

• SQLMX

• Apache Derby

• Spark SQL

If you use PostgreSQL JDBC driver to connect to Redshift database, the Auto detect option automatically detects the PostgreSQL database instead of Redshift. The behavior of the JDBC Snaps is optimized for the selected database.

    FROM sales
    WHERE total_amount > 1000
    ORDER BY order_date DESC
    LIMIT 10;

•  True - The Snap will execute with auto-commit enabled regardless of the value set for Auto commit in the Account used by the Snap.

•  False - The Snap will execute with auto-commit disabled regardless of the value set for Auto commit in the Account used by the Snap.

• Use account setting - The Snap will execute with Auto commit property value inherited by the Account used by the Snap.
