---|---|---|
Label*
Default Value: AlloyDB Insert | String | Specify a unique name for the Snap.
|
Schema
Default Value: N/A | String/Expression | Specify the database schema name. Selecting a schema filters the Table name list to show only those tables within the selected schema. You can pass values using the Pipeline parameters but not through the upstream Snap. |

Create table if not present
| Checkbox | Select this checkbox to automatically create the target table if it does not exist.

Preserve case sensitivity
| Checkbox | Select this checkbox to preserve the case sensitivity of the column names while performing the insert operation. If you do not select this option, then Snap converts the column names in the input document to match the column names in the target database table before inserting the values. The Snap checks for the following three conditions:
On the contrary, if you select this checkbox, the Snap does not convert the case of the column names and inserts the names as-is in the target database. Therefore, ensure that the column labels in the input document match the column labels in the target database table. Else, the Snap does not insert the values and displays an error. For example, if the column names (ID, Name) in the input document do not match the column names (Id, name) in the database, then the Snap does not insert the values and displays an error. |
Number of retries
| 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.
|
Retry interval (seconds)
| Integer/Expression | Specify the time interval between two successive retry requests. A retry happens only when the previous attempt results in an exception.
