When to use a database Connection

Here's when you can use a database Connection in the Etlworks Integrator:

Read how to work with databases in Etlworks Integrator.

Prerequisites

The Etlworks Integrator must be able to connect to the database. If the database is behind the firewall and not exposed to the Internet, there are several options:

  1. Use SSH tunnel.
  2. Whitelist the IP address of the Etlworks Integrator instance. The IP address of the host app.etlworks.comis 18.188.180.116.
  3. Use data integration agent running behind the firewall.

Create a database Connection

To create a database Connection, open the Connections window, click +, and select Database in the left navigation bar. Select the database from the gallery. Enter the database Connection parameters.

The URL

  • Driver (optional): the JDBC driver class name. When one of the predefined Connection types (for example, Oracle) is selected, the driver is preset.
  • URL (optional): the Connection URL. You will need to replace tokens, like <host>, <port>,<database> with the actual hostname, port, and database. Some tokens include default values. 
    • before: jdbc:postgresql://<host>:<port=5432>/<database>
after:  jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/mydb

If needed, you can use the tokens {user} and {password} to pass non-standard credentials for the username and password. For example, to connect to Google BigQuery you will need to provide a service account email and path to a secret key file. Example: OAuthServiceAcctEmail={user};OAuthPvtKeyPath={password}.

The URL can include advanced options, such as enabling SSL, etc. Please visit the database vendor website for more information.

Alternatively to URL

  • Host: the database host or IP address.
  • Port: the port.
  • Database: the database name.

Authentication

  • User: username.
  • Password: password.

Other parameters

  • Auto Commit: Connections with Auto Commit set to Yes commit the transaction on each executed SQL statement. Set this flag to Yes if you expect a very high volume of transactions or are planning to execute DDL statements.
  • Run at Connect: the SQL statements to run each time a Connection to the database is established.

  • You can run multiple ; separated SQL statements.

  • Other Parameters: enter optional parameters as key=value pairs. Refer to the database vendor documentation for more information. 

Handle metadata

  • Always enclose table/column names in double quotes: if this option is enabled, the system will always enclose table and column names in double-quotes. Otherwise, only names that contain spaces or start with numbers will be enclosed. Read how to handle table and column names with spaces and special characters.
  • All columns are nullable: it this option is enabled all columns will be created as nullable when the flow will be creating or altering the table. The default behavior is to inherit the nullable flag from the source table.
  • Varchar Field Size Multiplier: the value of this field, if greater than 1, will be used to multiple the default size of the VARCHAR-like columns (except CHAR) when automatically creating the destination table. 
  • Current Database and Schema only: if this option is enabled, the system will populate tables and views for the current database and schema only. For databases with a lot of tables and views, it can greatly reduce the time needed to show the objects in Etlworks Explorer and when configuring the mapping.
  • Open connection when needed: if this open is enabled ETL engine defers opening the Connection to the moment when it is requested by the ETL Flow. Read more. 
  • Override Create Table SQL: by default system automatically generates an SQL for creating a new table if it does not exist. You can override the default SQL by providing a JavaScript in which the input is a variable sql (which contains automatically generated SQL) and the output is a new create table SQL. Read more. 

Fetch size, max records, max field size

Our ETL engine is written in Java and uses JDBC protocol to connect to the databases. Parameters below can be used to fine-tune the performance of the database driver.

  • Fetch Size

In JDBC, the setFetchSize(int) method is very important to performance and memory-management within the JVM as it controls the number of network calls from the JVM to the database and correspondingly the amount of RAM used for ResultSet processing. Many JDBC drivers (for example Oracle) by default enforce the fetch size while some others (for example MySQL and Redshift) do not. The Fetch Size field can be used to set the maximum number of records that will be retrieved in one database call, thus limiting the memory consumption within the JVM.

You can override the Fetch Size  set at the Connection level by setting it at the transformation level.

  • Max Records

By default, our ETL engine extracts all the records from the source, limited only by the source query or filter conditions. You can use this field to set the upper limit on the total number of records that can be extracted from the source.

You can override the Max Records set at the Connection level by setting it at the transformation level.

  • Max Field Size

This parameter sets the limit for the maximum number of bytes that can be returned for character and binary column values in a ResultSet object produced by this Statement object. This limit applies only to BINARY, VARBINARY, LONGVARBINARY, CHAR, VARCHAR, NCHAR, NVARCHAR, LONGNVARCHAR, and LONGVARCHAR fields. If the limit is exceeded, the excess data is silently discarded. For maximum portability, use values greater than 256.

Connect to a database over SSH tunnel

A database that sits behind a firewall cannot be accessed directly from a client on the other side of the firewall, but it can often be accessed through an SSH tunnel. The firewall must be configured to accept SSH Connections, and you also need to have an account on the SSH host for this to work.

Use an actual database hostname and port when configuring the URL for the database Connection. Etlworks Integrator will automatically replace them with the localhost and the available port.

If you need to access a database that can only be accessed via an SSH tunnel, you need to specify additional information in the Connect over SSH tunnel section of the database Connection screen.

  • SSH Host: the name or IP address for the host accepting SSH Connections.
  • SSH Port:  the port accepting SSH Connections. The default value is 22.
  • SSH User: the user name.
  • SSH Password: the optional password.
  • Private Key File: the private key file in the pem or ppk Format used for SSH authentication. Click the Upload/Select ssh key to manage SSH keys using GUI. You can also upload the private key file manually and use the token {app.data} as a part of the filename, for example, {app.data}/keys/secret.pem. This parameter is optional.

ssh_key.png

  • SSH Passphrase: the optional passphrase (password) used together with a private key file.

Default data types of columns to VARCHAR

The automatic data type mapping mostly affects creating tables (when the table does not exist) in the destination database. The engine assumes the data type of the column in the destination table based on the data type of the column in the source and rules set for the specific ETL driver. We tweak the rules from time to time to make sure we offer the best possible match.

When configuring a database Connection, which is not one of the following: SQL Server, DB2, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Informix, Oracle, Sybase ACE, it is possible to default the data type of all columns in the table that will be automatically created to VARCHAR. The size of the VARCHAR column defaults to the maximum available for the specific database.

Enter the Connection parameters.

Click here to read more about the properties that are available for a PostgreSQL Connection's URL.

Secure PostgreSQL Connections with SSL

To connect to the PostgreSQL database with SSL, you will need a server certificate, a client certificate, and a private key for the client certificate. In most cases, they will be provided as pem files.

  • server-ca.pem: server certificate.

  • client-cert.pem: client certificate.

  • client-key.pem: private key.

The server and the client certificates can be used as is (as pem files) but the private key must be PKCS8 and stored in DER Format.

You can convert client-key.pem to the PKCS8 with openssl:

openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform PEM -outform DER -in client-key.pem -out postgresql.pk8 -nocrypt

Once you have the certificates and the private key, you can upload them into the Server Storage.

It is recommended to create a folder under the Server Storage, for example, postgres-certificates, and upload files into this folder.

Once files have been uploaded, you can modify the JDBC URL for the PostgreSQL Connection as below:

jdbc:postgresql://host:5432/database?ssl=true&sslfactory=org.postgresql.ssl.jdbc4.LibPQFactory&sslmode=require&sslrootcert={app.data}postgres-certificates/server-ca.pem&sslcert={app.data}postgres-certificates/client-cert.pem&sslkey={app.data}postgres-certificates/postgresql.pk8

Host, port, database name, names of the certificates, and the private key file, as well as the name of the folder with the certificates, must be replaced on actual.

  • server-ca.pem: server certificate.

  • client-cert.pem: client certificate.

  • client-key.pem: private key.

Step 1. Import the certificate authority (server) certificate into a Java keystore (JDK is required to use keytool).

keytool -import -file server-ca.pem -keystore truststore -storepass {password}

Step 2. Create a PKCS12 file from an existing signed client certificate and its private key with openssl.

penssl pkcs12 -export -in client-cert.pem -inkey client-key.pem -out client.p12 -CAfile server-ca.pem -password pass:{password}

Step 3. Import the combined certificate and private key into the keystore.

keytool -importkeystore -deststorepass {password} -destkeystore keystore -srckeystore client.p12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -srcstorepass {password}

Once you have the truststore and keystore files, you can upload them into the Server Storage.

It is recommended to create a folder under the Server Storage, for example, mysql-certificates, and upload files into this folder.

Once files have been uploaded, you can modify the JDBC URL for the MySQL Connection as below:

jdbc:mysql://host:3306/database?useSSL=true&requireSSL=true&verifyServerCertificate=true&clientCertificateKeyStorePassword=password&clientCertificateKeyStoreType=JKS&clientCertificateKeyStoreUrl=file://{app.data}mysql-certificates/keystore.jks&trustCertificateKeyStorePassword=password&trustCertificateKeyStoreType=JKS&trustCertificateKeyStoreUrl=file://{app.data}mysql-certificates/truststore.jks
