Hi All,
Here is the design I am considering for including the additional feature as
mentioned in the previous email. Please note that this includes the
previous feedback received on the design.
1. Rename JdbcPOJOOutputOperator -> *AbstractJdbcPOJOOutputOperator*
2. Add *JdbcPOJOInsertOutputOperator* extending from
*AbstractJdbcPOJOOutputOperator*. This will be used for "*insert*"
output query.
1. If FieldInfo (Mapping of POJO fields to DB columns) is provided by
the user - then use only these columns to build the insert SQL string.
Return this insert query as the update command.
2. If FieldInfo is not provided by the user - then assume a direct
mapping between POJO fields and the DB columns. Extract list of columns
from DB and populate all columns from POJO fields. The POJO
fields will be
assumed to be the same as DB column names.
3. Add *JdbcPOJONonInsertOutputOperator *extending from
*AbstractJdbcPOJOOutputOperator*. This will be used for "*update / merge
/ delete*" output queries. [This design stays the same as discussed
previously]
1. Accept a parametrized SQL string
2. Use the FieldInfo provided by the user to populate the parameters
in the query.
3. Execute the query.
Please provide your thoughts on this.
Thanks.
