Data Provider Full Load Properties List

The DataProvider Full Load properties list identifies connection parameters and other items you must define for the component.

Required Properties
Property	Description
Interface	Identify the method or driver to use to connect to the datasource.
Host Name	Identify the datasource. The options that appear in the Host Name list depend on the interface you select.
Query	Create a query that retrieves information from the datasource. Use the Query window to create a simple query, or click the Query Designer icon to open the Query Designer.

Optional Properties
Property	Description
User and Password	Identify an authorized database user and protect the database against unauthorized access.
Read Block Size	Determine the number of records retrieved by the component in a single step.
Pre Processing SQL	Create a script that runs during component initialization. Scripts can include one or more SQL statements. If you use multiple statements, separate them with a semicolon (;).
Post Processing SQL	Create a script that runs after all components execute. Scripts can include one or more SQL statements. If you use multiple statements, separate them with a semicolon (;).
Database	Identify the database to use as datasource. If you select this option, you must also select an appropriate interface, and in some cases, specify an appropriate user ID and password.
Schema	Identify the schema or owner you want to use as datasource. The objects that appear are restricted accordingly and new tables are created in the schema you specify.
Standardize Data Format	Convert incoming `DATE` and `NUMBER` information into a standard format that Sybase IQ InfoPrimer can move between systems that support different formats. Dates are converted into this format: `YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.s`. For example: 2005-12-01 16:40:59.123 Numbers are converted using a period (“`.`”) as the decimal separator.
Database Options	Set options that override performance defaults and control the behavior of some transactions.
Transactional	All work performed by the component, including preprocessing SQL statements and postprocessing SQL statements, is done in a single database transaction that is committed when the project finishes normally. Select this option to roll back the transaction, if this component encounters an error.
