[resolved] 'Guess Query' button returning empty queries

Anonymous — Fri, 05 Aug 2016 17:06:22 GMT

Hello,
I'm currently using talend for training purposes and I've hit on a slight problem.
I created a mysql local database for use with talend, and have been able to use talend to create tables and insert data into those tables.
But when I tried to use talend to get data from those tables I found that the 'Guess Query' button isn't working as expected.
I created a tMysqlInput, configured the connection, selected the table it will fetch information from, and then I tried to use the 'Guess Query' button, my query became "". No matter what table I chosse, all of the queries become "" if I use 'Guess Query'.
Writing the queries myself isn't that much of a bother, but I just want to know why this functionality isn't working as I expected.
Best Regards,
Tiago Vieira
EDIT: I seem to have spoken too soon. The problem was that I forgot to select the schema.

Hi,
The "Guess Query" button will generate a SELECT based on the schema you defined for the component and the "Guess Schema" will generate a schema based on your own query.
As a lazy, you may:
- write a "SELECT * FROM YourTable" in the query field
- use "Guess Schema" to retrieve the schema relative to the table
- modify the schema definition (essentially by removing undesired fields") or not if you have to deal with all the table columns
- use "Guess Query" to generate a detailed SELECT where all the columns associated to schema fields are mentionned explicitly.
The you can change the query, using tranformation function as soon as your respect the schema definition.
