Target update override

Target update override

By default,
Data Integration
updates target tables based on key values. However, you can override the default UPDATE statement for each target in a mapping. You might want to update the target based on non-key columns.
You can enter a target update override for relational and ODBC connections. For more information, see the help for the appropriate connector.
Override the UPDATE statement in the Target transformation advanced properties. Enter the target UPDATE statement in the
Update Override
field. Alternatively, click
Configure
to generate the default UPDATE statement and then modify the statement.
Because the target fields must match the target column names, the update statement includes the keyword :TU to specify the fields in the target transformation. If you modify the UPDATE portion of the statement, you must use :TU to specify fields.
When you override the default UPDATE statement, you must enter an SQL statement that is valid for the database.
Data Integration
does not validate the syntax.

Example

A mapping passes the total sales for each salesperson to the T_SALES table.
Data Integration
generates the following default UPDATE statement for the target T_SALES:
UPDATE T_SALES SET EMP_NAME = :TU.EMP_NAME, DATE_SHIPPED = :TU.DATE_SHIPPED, TOTAL_SALES = :TU.TOTAL_SALES WHERE EMP_ID = :TU.EMP_ID
You want to override the WHERE clause to update records for employees named Mike Smith only. To do this, you edit the WHERE clause as follows:
UPDATE T_SALES SET DATE_SHIPPED = :TU.DATE_SHIPPED, TOTAL_SALES = :TU.TOTAL_SALES WHERE :TU.EMP_NAME = EMP_NAME AND EMP_NAME = 'MIKE SMITH'
