Database Connection
Database
This is the ODBC Data Source Name (DSN) as configured using DB2 client software.
Username and Password
Enter the username and password to access the database, user account, or wherever authentication is required.
Note: If the username and password are already set as part of the ODBC DSN entry, there is no need to re-enter the username and password here.
Connection Timeout
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.
Constraints
Table List
After you have specified the database connection, click the Browse button to select tables for import. A connection window appears while the system compiles a table from the database.
Once the table list appears, you can select one or more tables, and then click OK to dismiss the window. The table name(s) will appear in the Table List field in the parameter box.
WHERE Clause
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).
WHERE Clause
An SQL WHERE clause can be applied to each table’s columns, to constrain the attributes of the layers selected in the layer list (for example, NUMLANES=2).
Schema Attributes
Additional Attributes to Expose
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.
