----------------------------------
Summary: Allow PutDatabaseRecord to optionally create the target
table if it doesn't exist
Key: NIFI-7862
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7862
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Extensions
Reporter: Matt Burgess
As part of NIFI-6934, the "Database Type" property was added, allowing for
DB-specific SQL/DML to be generated. That property could be used with a new
true/false property "Create Table" that would create the target table if it
didn't already exist.
I wouldn't go so far as to support schema migration (changing column types,
e.g.), at least not for this case, the intent here would only be to check if
table exists and attempt to create it , mapping the NiFi Record datatypes to
DB-specific column types and generating/executing a DB-specific CREATE TABLE
statement. If "Create Table" is set to true and an error occurs while
attempting to create the table, the flowfile should be routed to failure or
rolled back (depending on the setting of the "Rollback on Failure" property).
