Incremental loading with Talend can be done like in any other tools. You have to measure in your job the necessary time stamps of sequence values and keep the highest value for the next run and use this value in a query where condition to start reading all rows with higher values.

Hi @lli

Can you please elaborate this using some job and components... and how to implement it

Regards

Hi,

You can do the incremental load as follows :-

a) Extract the last run date from the DB and store in context variable. Also store the current time in another context variable.

b) Execute the SQL query from source database to extract the incremental data. Make sure your query's where clause is having both last run date and current system date stored in context variables.

c) Once the data extraction is complete, load the new system date from context variable to configuration table storing last run dates.

Another approach to extract the delta data is to implement the CDC (Change Data Capture) in source tables. Below link can give details about Talend CDC capabilities.

Hi @nthampi

really very useful link for incremental load .

can you screenshot each component properties.

Thank You

Hi Karthick,

Unfortunately I do not have the backup of this job which I had created. But it is a very straightforward implementation.

Please feel free to get in touch if you are ever stuck during the job creation. We are always there to help

Hi @rchinta,

Apologies for the delay as I was on vacation.

The last run date will capture the time stamp which was used as the cut off time to fetch the delta records. Whenever you are running the delta job, the data fetch should happen between last run date+timestamp and current date+timestamp.

There are no PDF documents for this process but you can easily create a job flow during this concept. If you are stuck somewhere, please feel free to create a new post topic along with job flow and component error screenshots and we will be there to help you 🙂

Warm Regards,

Hi @nthampi ,

I want to know your opinion on Delta load for tracking insert and updates using the last_modified_date.

Is it beneficial to use Insert or Update option in the output component (after filtering the source with records greater than last_updated_timestamp) , or to add a left outer join using tmap , Update the matched record and insert the rejects .

will there be a difference in performance ? , what is the recommended approach ?

Thanks ,

Karan

Hi Karan,

Lookup in tMap might be a costly option if your lokup tables have million of rows. In that case, its better to select a key value in your output DB component and use Insert or Update option. It will then use the primary key of the underlying table which will be faster.

Again it is not a hard and fast rule for all the scenarios and DBs. Some DBs/DWs will give maximum throughput for insert only transactions where as some others will give decent performance for both insert and update in same flow.

So always do the performance tests before taking the call to select the right option.

Hi Nikhil,

I have a question - what if I've the last run date as 1-1-2023 and i want to load a file that's dated 20-12-2022 ?
