A dynamic SQL query can execute different query statements for each input row. When you create a dynamic SQL query, you use string substitution to define string parameters in the query and link them to input ports in the transformation.

To change a query statement, configure a string variable in the query for the portion of the query you want to change. To configure the string variable, identify an input port by name in the query and enclose the name with the tilde (~). The query changes based on the value of the data in the port. The transformation input port that contains the query parameter must be a string datatype. You can use string substitution to change the query statement and the query data.

When you create a dynamic SQL query, the Integration Service prepares a query for each input row. You can pass the full query or pass part of the query in an input port:
