Sequence Generator Transformation

Sequence Generator Transformation

The following table shows the pushdown types for each database to which you can push the Sequence Generator transformation:
Database
Pushdown Type
Greenplum
Not supported
IBM DB2
Source-side, Target-side, Full
Microsoft SQL Server
Not supported
Netezza
Not supported
Oracle
Source-side, Target-side, Full
PostgreSQL
Not supported
Sybase
Not supported
Teradata

ODBC

Microsoft Azure SQL Data Warehouse

The Integration Service processes the Sequence Generator transformation if any of the following conditions are true:
  • The transformation is reusable.
  • The transformation is connected to multiple targets.
  • The transformation connects the CURRVAL port.
  • The transformation provides sequence values to a transformation downstream from a Source Qualifier transformation that is configured to select distinct rows.
  • The Integration Service cannot push all of the logic for the Sequence Generator transformation to the database. For example, a Sequence Generator transformation creates sequence values that are supplied to two branches of a pipeline. When you configure pushdown optimization, the database can create sequence values for only one pipeline branch. When the Integration Service cannot push all of the Sequence Generator logic to the database, the following message appears:
    Pushdown optimization stops at the transformation <transformation name> because the upstream Sequence Generator <Sequence Generator transformation name> cannot be pushed entirely to the database.
  • The pipeline branches before the Sequence Generator transformation and then joins back together after the Sequence Generator transformation.
  • The pipeline branches after the Sequence Generator transformation and does not join back together.
  • A sequence value passes through an Aggregator, a Filter, a Joiner, a Sorter, or a Union transformation.
  • The database where the sequence object is created must be the active database or of the same database type as the active database.
The Integration Service processes a transformation downstream from the Sequence Generator transformation if it uses the NEXTVAL port of the Sequence Generator transformation in CASE expressions and is configured for pushdown optimization to IBM DB2.
