• The dynamic variables used in the execute query can be defined by providing values upstream.

• If the input view is defined, then the where clause substitutes incoming values for a specific query.

• Any document processing Snap can be used downstream.

• The Snap produces documents in the output 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.

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:

• 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.

Label

Default Value: Azure SQL - Execute
Example: Azure SQL - Execute

String

Specify a unique name for the Snap.

SQL statement*

Default Value: N/A
Example: select * from “dob”, “Persons”

String/Expression

Specify the SQL statement to execute on the server. When working with SQL statements in SnapLogic, you may encounter two possible scenarios. Learn more about scenarios to execute your SQL statements.

Query type

Default Value: Auto
Example: Read

Dropdown list/Expression

Select the type of query for your SQL statement (Read or Write).

When Auto is selected, the Snap tries to determine the query type automatically.
If the execution result of the query is not as expected, you can change the query type to Read or Write.

Pass through

Default Value: Selected

Checkbox

Select this checkbox to pass the input document to the output view under the key 'original'. This property applies only to the Execute Snaps with SELECT statement.

Ignore empty result

Default value: Deselected

Checkbox

Select this checkbox if you want the Snap to ignore empty fields and not write any document to the output view when a SELECT operation does not produce any result. If this property is not selected and the Pass through property is selected, the input document will be passed through to the output view.

Number of Retries

Default Value: 0
Example: 3

Integer/Expression

Specify the maximum number of retry attempts the Snap must make in case there is a network failure and is unable to read the target file. The request is terminated if the attempts do not result in a response.

• If the Number of retries value is set to 0 (the default value), the retry option is disabled, and the Snap does not initiate a retry. The pipeline will not attempt to retry the operation in case of a failure—any failure encountered during the database operation will immediately result in the pipeline failing without any retry attempts to recover from the errors.

• If the Number of retries value is greater than 0, the Snap initiates a download of the target file into a temporary local file. If any error occurs during the download, the Snap waits for the time specified in the Retry interval and then attempts to download the file again from the beginning. After the download is successful, the Snap streams the data from the temporary file to the downstream pipeline. All temporary local files are deleted when they are no longer needed.

Retry Interval (Seconds)

Default Value: 1
Example: 10

Integer/Expression

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

Auto commit

Default Value: Use account setting
Example: True

Dropdown list

Select one of the options for this property to override the state of the Auto commit property on the account. The Auto commit at the Snap-level has three values: True, False, and Use account setting. The expected functionality for these modes are:

•  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.

Snap Execution

Default Value: Validate & Execute
Example: Execute only

Dropdown list

Has no single quotes

^{Schaum Series}

^{'Schaum Series'}

Contains single quotes

^{O'Reilly's Publication}

'O''Reilly''s Publication'
