Execute SQL INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or MERGE conditionally

Overview

When working with databases where the database is a destination, it is possible to execute automatically prepared SQL statements conditionally. For example: UPDATE records if a certain flag is set, otherwise, MERGE.

Configure conditional SQL action

For databases, this feature is available under MAPPING/ Parameters/ Action Conditions. 

Field values can be referenced from JavaScript code by using dataSet.getFieldValue(currentRow, 'field name') or the {field name}.

Possible actions are: INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, MERGE, nothing .

If action is set to nothing

If the Conditional action is set to nothing the system will simply skip the record.

Available objects

The following objects can be referenced by name from the JavaScript code:

Example

{Types}.equals('U') ? 'update' : 'insert';
