MySQL Write Component

A component that writes data to a MySQL table

Examples

mysql_write_component_config.yaml

component:
  write:
    connection: my_database_connection
    input:
      flow: my_flow
      name: my_input_component
    mysql:
      table:
        name: my_table

mysql_write_full_strategy.yaml

component:
  write:
    connection: my_database_connection
    input:
      flow: my_flow
      name: my_input_component
    mysql:
      table:
        name: my_table
    strategy:
      full:
        mode: drop_and_recreate

Property Details

Component

A component is a fundamental building block of a data flow. Types of components that are supported include: read, transform, task, test, and more.

Property	Default	Type	Required	Description
component		One of:   ReadComponent   TransformComponent   TaskComponent   SingularTestComponent   CustomPythonReadComponent   WriteComponent   CompoundComponent   AliasedTableComponent   ExternalTableComponent	Yes	Configuration options for the component.

WriteComponent

Property	Default	Type	Required	Description
name		string	No	The name of the model
description		string	No	A brief description of what the model does.
metadata		ResourceMetadata	No	Meta information of a resource. In most cases it doesn't affect the system behavior but may be helpful to analyze project resources.
flow_name		string	No	The name of the flow that the component belongs to.
skip		boolean	No	A boolean flag indicating whether to skip processing for the component or not.
write		One of:   BigQueryWriteComponent   SnowflakeWriteComponent   S3WriteComponent   MySQLWriteComponent   OracleWriteComponent	Yes

SingleTable

Options for reading from a single table. The typical way of reading tables from a database.

Property	Default	Type	Required	Description
table		TableOptions	Yes	Table to read data from.

FullWriteStrategy

Container for specifying the incremental write strategy.

Property	Default	Type	Required	Description
full		FullWriteStrategyOptions	Yes	Options to use when fully writing data to a Write component.

FullWriteStrategyOptions

Resource options for full writes, including mode selection.

Property	Default	Type	Required	Description
mode		FullWriteModeEnum	Yes	Specifies the mode to use when fully writing data: 'drop_and_recreate' to drop the output table and recreate it.

FullWriteModeEnum

No properties defined.

IncrementalWriteStrategyWithSchemaChange

Container for specifying the incremental write strategy that supports different behaviors when schema changes.

Property	Default	Type	Required	Description
incremental		IncrementalWriteStrategyOptions	Yes	Options to use when incrementally writing data to a Write component.
on_schema_change		string ("ignore", "fail", "drop_and_recreate", "append_new_columns", "sync_all_columns")	No	Policy to apply when schema changes are detected.

IncrementalWriteStrategyOptions

Resource options for incremental writes, including mode selection and criteria for detecting deletions and unique records.

Property	Default	Type	Required	Description
mode		IncrementalWriteModeEnum	Yes	Specifies the mode to use when incrementally writing data: 'append' to append new or modified records, 'upsert' to insert new records and update modified records, and 'sync' to encompass both 'upsert' functionality and to delete records when deleted at the source.
column		string	Yes	Name of the column to use for tracking incremental updates to the data.
change_detection		UniqueKey	No	Options for detecting record changes when comparing source and destination data.
deletion_col		string	No	Column name to use for identifying deleted records when 'soft deletion' is used at the source.

IncrementalWriteModeEnum

No properties defined.

InputComponent

Specification for input components, including how partitioning behaviors should be handled. This additional metadata is required when a component is used as an input to other components in a flow.

Property	Default	Type	Required	Description
flow		string	Yes	Name of the parent flow that the input component belongs to.
name		string	Yes	The input component name.
alias		string	No	The alias to use for the input component.
partition_spec		Any of:   string ("full_reduction", "map")   RepartitionSpec	No	The type of partitioning to apply to the component's input data before processing the component's logic. Input partitioning is applied before the component's logic is executed.
where		string	No	An optional filter condition to apply to the input component's data.
partition_binding		Any of:   string   PartitionBinding	No	An optional partition binding specification to apply to the component on a per-output-partition basis against other inputs' partitions.
