Vertica - Update

Vertica - Update


Snap type:

Write

Description:

This Snap executes a Vertica update.

Prerequisites:

N/A

Support and limitations:

Works in Ultra Pipelines.

Account: 

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

Views:
InputThis Snap has exactly one input view.
OutputThis Snap has at most one output view.
Error

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

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.


Settings

Label*

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 



The database schema name. Selecting a schema filters the Table name list to show only those tables within the selected schema. The property is suggestible and retrieves available database schemas during suggest values.

The values can be passed using the pipeline parameters but not the upstream parameter.

Example: public

Table name*


The name of the table to execute the update operation on.

The values can be passed using the pipeline parameters but not the upstream parameter.

Example: emp

Update condition

Specify the SQL WHERE clause of the update statement. You can define specific values or columns to update (Set condition) in the upstream Snap, such as Mapper Snap, and then use the WHERE clause to apply these conditions on the columns sourced from the upstream Snap. For instance, here is a sample of an Update SQL query:

UPDATE table_name
SET column1 = value1, column2 = value2,
WHERE condition;

If the Update Condition field is left blank, the condition is applied on all the records of the target table.

Loading

Refer to the example to understand how to use the Update Condition.

Examples

Without using expressions

Using expressions

  • "EMPNO=$EMPNO and ENAME=$EMPNAME"

  • email = $email 

  • emp=$emp

  • "emp='" + $emp + "'"

  • "EMPNO=" + $EMPNO + " and ENAME='" + $EMPNAME+ "'"

Caution

Using expressions that join strings together to create SQL queries or conditions has a potential SQL injection risk and is hence unsafe. Ensure that you understand all implications and risks involved before using concatenation of strings with '=' Expression enabled. 

Number of retries

The maximum number of times that the process must be retried before displaying an error.

Example: 2

Default value: 0

Retry interval (seconds)

The maximum resting time in seconds between subsequent retries.

Example: 2

Default value: 1

In a scenario where the Auto commit on the account is set to true, and the downstream Snap does depends on the data processed on an Upstream Database Bulk Load Snap, use the Script Snap to add delay for the data to be available.

For example, when performing a create, insert and a delete function sequentially on a pipeline, using a Script Snap helps in creating a delay between the insert and delete function or otherwise it may turn out that the delete function is triggered even before inserting the records on the table.
