View Creation Example

View Creation Example

You create the following mapping that searches for 94117 zip codes in a customer database:
The mapping includes a source, Source Qualifier transformation, Filter transformation, and target.
You want the search to return customers whose names match variations of the name Johnson, including names such as Johnsen, Jonssen, and Jonson. To perform the name matching, you enter the following SQL override for the Source Qualifier transformation: 
SELECT CUSTOMERS.CUSTOMER_ID, CUSTOMERS.COMPANY, CUSTOMERS.FIRST_NAME, CUSTOMERS.LAST_NAME, CUSTOMERS.ADDRESS1, CUSTOMERS.ADDRESS2, CUSTOMERS.CITY, CUSTOMERS.STATE, CUSTOMERS.POSTAL_CODE, CUSTOMERS.PHONE, CUSTOMERS.EMAIL FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE CUSTOMERS.LAST_NAME LIKE 'John%' OR CUSTOMERS.LAST_NAME LIKE 'Jon%'
When the Integration Service pushes transformation logic for this session to the database, it executes the following SQL statement to create a view in the source database: 
CREATE VIEW PM_V4RZRW5GWCKUEWH35RKDMDPRNXI (CUSTOMER_ID, COMPANY, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, ADDRESS1, ADDRESS2, CITY, STATE, POSTAL_CODE, PHONE, EMAIL) AS SELECT CUSTOMERS.CUSTOMER_ID, CUSTOMERS.COMPANY, CUSTOMERS.FIRST_NAME, CUSTOMERS.LAST_NAME, CUSTOMERS.ADDRESS1, CUSTOMERS.ADDRESS2, CUSTOMERS.CITY, CUSTOMERS.STATE, CUSTOMERS.POSTAL_CODE, CUSTOMERS.PHONE, CUSTOMERS.EMAIL FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE CUSTOMERS.LAST_NAME LIKE 'John%' OR CUSTOMERS.LAST_NAME LIKE 'Jon%'
After the Integration Service creates the view, it executes an SQL query to perform the transformation logic in the mapping: 
SELECT PM_V4RZRW5GWCKUEWH35RKDMDPRNXI.CUSTOMER_ID, PM_V4RZRW5GWCKUEWH35RKDMDPRNXI.COMPANY, PM_V4RZRW5GWCKUEWH35RKDMDPRNXI.FIRST_NAME, PM_V4RZRW5GWCKUEWH35RKDMDPRNXI.LAST_NAME, PM_V4RZRW5GWCKUEWH35RKDMDPRNXI.ADDRESS1, PM_V4RZRW5GWCKUEWH35RKDMDPRNXI.ADDRESS2, PM_V4RZRW5GWCKUEWH35RKDMDPRNXI.CITY, PM_V4RZRW5GWCKUEWH35RKDMDPRNXI.STATE, PM_V4RZRW5GWCKUEWH35RKDMDPRNXI.POSTAL_CODE, PM_V4RZRW5GWCKUEWH35RKDMDPRNXI.PHONE, PM_V4RZRW5GWCKUEWH35RKDMDPRNXI.EMAIL FROM PM_V4RZRW5GWCKUEWH35RKDMDPRNXI WHERE (PM_V4RZRW5GWCKUEWH35RKDMDPRNXI.POSTAL_CODE = 94117)
After the session completes, the Integration Service drops the view from the database. If the session fails, the Integration Service drops and recreates the view before performing recovery tasks.
