Target Schema

Specify the database schema that has to be used.

Target Table

Specify the database table, use the Browse button next to this field to use a menu to select the table and schema

Buffer size (rows)

Specify how many rows will be kept in memory before transferring to MonetDB

Log file

Specify the location for the Bulk command logs returned from MonetDB

Truncate table

Remove all data from the destination table before loading the data.

Fully quote all SQL statements

Forces quotes around all objects when executing

Field separator

This is the separator that will be used in the Bulk copy command, it is not allowed to have this field in the input data.

Field enclosure

The enclosure character used around values.

Null values represented

Null values will be converted to this string, this allows to differentiate empty strings and null values.

Encoding

File encoding used when generating the files for the copy statement.

Target table field

Field containing the name of the field in the target table

Incoming stream field

Field containing the value we want to insert in target table

Format is ok

Set to Y if the incoming stream’s field is the correct format according to the target datatatype.

NOTE:

This setting is evaluated only when Lazy Conversion is applied.

For example: imagine you are getting values from a text file, your incoming data contains numbers or dates and Lazy Conversion is enabled in the input transform. In this case, the data is not transformed internally to the target data type and is managed as a String by Hop. By setting this flag to Y, we are saying Hop that the incoming data’s value is already in a format clearly understandable by the target database according to the target datatype.
