Netezza Non-Spatial Reader Parameters

Specify the name of the Netezza ODBC Data Source Name (DSN). The DSN must specify a database that exists in Netezza.

Enter the username and password to access the database, user account, or wherever authentication is required.

The time (seconds) after which to terminate a query to the database if it has not yet returned a connection/result.

If it is set to 0, there is no timeout. The default is 30.

Specify the name(s) of the database table to read from.

An SQL WHERE clause can be applied to the selected tables, to constrain the the row selection in tables chosen in the table list (for example, NUMLANES=2).

Use this parameter to expose Format Attributes in Workbench when you create a workspace:

• In a dynamic scenario, it means these attributes can be passed to the output dataset at runtime.
• In a non-dynamic scenario, you can use this parameter to expose additional attributes on multiple feature types.

This parameter allows for the execution of SQL statements before opening a table for reading. For example, it may be necessary to create a temporary view before attempting to read from it.

Multiple SQL commands can be delimited by a character specified using the FME_SQL_DELIMITER directive, embedded at the beginning of the SQL block. The single character following this directive will be used to split the SQL block into SQL statements, which will then be sent to the database for execution. Note: Include a space before the character.

For example:

FME_SQL_DELIMITER ;
DELETE FROM instructors;
DELETE FROM people
WHERE LastName='Doe' AND FirstName='John'

Multiple delimiters are not allowed and the delimiter character will be stripped before being sent to the database.

Any errors occurring during the execution of these SQL statements will normally terminate the reader or writer (depending on where the SQL statement is executed) with an error. If the specified statement is preceded by a hyphen (“-”), such errors are ignored.

This parameter allows for the execution of SQL statements after a set of tables has been read. For example, it may be necessary to clean up a temporary view after creating it.
