ODBC 3.x Database Reader Parameters

When you enter the Database in the Input Dataset field, the Database field will be automatically populated in the Parameters box.

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

Enter (or browse for) the name(s) of specific database table(s) to import.

Any SQL where clause can be applied to the columns of a table to limit the resulting features.

The example below selects only the features whose lengths are more than 2000

LENGTH > 2000

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 where you have multiple feature types, it is convenient to expose additional attributes using this one parameter. For example, if you have ten feature types and want to expose the same attribute in each one, it is easier to define it once than it is to set each feature type individually in the workspace.
