DB Staging properties list

The following tables list the required and optional properties of the Data Staging component. Required properties are displayed in bold text.

Required properties

Property	Description
Interface	Specify the method or driver you want to use to connect to the data source.
Host Name	Specify the data source. Options available on the Host Name list depend on the Interface you select. If you use SQLite as a Host, type the path and file name to the SQLite database file (For example, c:\mySQLite.db). If a database with the name you specify does not exist, SQLite will create one.
Stage Options	Click the Stage Options icon to set the staging options.
Query	Click the Query icon to create a query that retrieves information from the data source. You can use the Query window to create a simple query, or click the Query Designer icon to generate a query.

Optional properties

Property	Description
User and Password	Specify an authorized database user and a password to protect the database against unauthorized access.
Read Block Size	Determines the number of records retrieved by the component in a single step.
Pre-processing SQL	Click the Pre-processing SQL icon to create a query that runs during component initialization. Queries can include one or more SQL statements. If you use multiple statements, separate them with a semicolon (;).
Post-processing SQL	Click the Post-processing SQL icon to create a query that runs after all components execute. Queries can include one or more SQL statements. If you use multiple statements, separate them with a semicolon (;).
Database	Specify the database you want to use as data source. Additionally, you must select an appropriate interface, and in some cases, specify an appropriate user ID and password.
Schema	Identifies the schema/owner you want to use as data source. The objects displayed will be restricted accordingly and new tables will be created in that schema.
Standardize Data Format	Select the option to Convert incoming `DATE` and `NUMBER` information into a standard format that Sybase ETL can move between systems that support different formats. Dates are converted into a format that includes the year, month, day, hour, minute, seconds, and fraction of a second: `YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.s`. For example, 2005-12-01 16:40:59.123 Numbers are converted with a '`.`' as the decimal separator.
IQ Lock Table in Exclusive Mode	Select the option to lock the target table and prevent it from being updated by concurrent transactions. When an exclusive table lock is applied, no other transaction can execute queries or perform any updates against the locked table. The IQ Lock Table in Exclusive Mode option also queues multiple projects that load the same table in Sybase IQ.
Wait Time for IQ Lock Table	Specify the maximum blocking time that the project should wait, before acquiring an Exclusive lock. Specify the time argument in the format hh:nn:ss.sss. If you do not enter a time argument, the server waits indefinitely until an Exclusive lock is available or an interruption occurs. When you specify “00:00:00.000” as the time argument, an Exclusive lock is acquired as soon as the project starts.
Database Options	Click the Database Options icon to set options that override performance defaults and control the behavior of some transactions. See for a list of these properties. See “Database connection settings”.
