Use When

Model based data needs to be staged and queried.

Samples

Description

The Temp RDBMS component stages model based message data in a temporary database to be queried. This component is the same as the RDBMS Reader but instead of providing a data source, the data source is automatically created using the user provided Input Model. As model messages are received, they are loaded into the temporary database.

If the Run When parameter is configured to 'PER UNIT OF WORK', only one database is created and the SQL expression is executed after all model based messages have been received. If the Run When parameter is configured to 'PER MESSAGE', each new model based message will initiate the creation of a new temporary database. The provided SQL will be executed after each message has been loaded into the database. Once the SQL has been executed against the temporary database, the database is cleaned up and removed from memory or the file system.

Tip
If you would like to see the contents of the temporary h2 database, replace the Temp RDBMS SQL with the text "script to '/home/user/temp_rdbms_db.sql'". When this runs, the database contents will be exported to the local file system. After the export completes, Metl will correctly throw an error since the query did not return any results. This should be done for debugging only. To load the script into an empty h2 database, you can execute the following sql, "runscript from '/home/user/temp_rdbms_db.sql'".
