Name Description

config-ref

Defines the configuration parameters for the JDBC connection.

  • Type: string

  • Required: no

source

The expression used to obtain the value used to calculate parameters. Default is empty, so parameters are calculated from the payload.

  • Type: string

  • Required: no

  • Default: none

target

The enricher expression used to enrich the current message with the result of the SQL processing.

  • Type: string

  • Required: no

  • Default: #[payload]

transactionalAction

streaming

Indicates if result sets must be returned as an iterator or as a list of maps.

  • Type: boolean

  • Required: no

  • Default: false

fetchSize

Indicates how many rows to fetch from the database when rows are read from a resultSet. This property is required when streaming is true; in that case a default value (10) is used.

  • Type: integer

  • Required: no

  • Default: none

maxRows

Sets the limit for the maximum number of rows that any ResultSet object generated by this message processor can contain for the given number. If the limit is exceeded, the excess rows are silently dropped.

Using Integrated Security

If you want to make use of the integrated security login feature when using the Database Connector with your Microsoft SQL instance, you need to perform some additional steps:

  1. Configure the native libraries location inside the JDBC driver (sqljdbc4.jar).

    • Right click on your project name in Package Explorer

    • Click Build Path

    • Click Configure Build Path

    • Select sqljdbc4.jar

    • Select the child element Native Library Location (None)

    • Press the Edit…​ button

    • Select the folder that contains the sqljdbc_auth.dll native library.

    • Click Ok to confirm the changes.

  2. You also need to add integratedSecurity=true to your connection URL. The line should look like the following string:

    • jdbc:sqlserver://${db.host};database=${db.database};integratedSecurity=true
