Rules and guidelines for query processing

Rules and guidelines for query processing

Use the following rules and guidelines when you configure the SQL transformation to process a query:
  • The number and the order of the output fields must match the number and order of the fields in the query SELECT clause.
  • The native data type of an output field in the transformation must match the data type of the corresponding column in the database.
    Data Integration
    generates a row error when the data types do not match.
  • When the SQL query contains an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE clause, the transformation returns data to the SQLError field, the pass-through fields, and the NumRowsAffected field when it is enabled. If you add output fields, the fields receive NULL data values.
  • When the SQL query contains a SELECT statement and the transformation has a pass-through field, the transformation returns data to the pass-through field whether or not the query returns database data. The SQL transformation returns a row with NULL data in the output fields.
  • When the number of output fields is more than the number of columns in the SELECT clause, the extra fields receive a NULL value.
  • When the number of output fields is less than the number of columns in the SELECT clause,
    Data Integration
    generates a row error.
  • You can use string substitution instead of parameter binding in a query. However, the input fields must be string data types.
