You may want to execute some ad-hoc SQL prior to reading or writing a table. For example, it may be necessary to ensure that a view exists prior to attempting to read from it.
Multiple SQL commands can be delimited by a character specified using the FME_SQL_DELIMITER
keyword, embedded at the beginning of the SQL block. The single character following this keyword will be used to split the SQL, 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 with an error. If the specified statement is preceded by a hyphen (“-”), such errors are ignored.
