Difference between tHashRow and tAddCRCRow

[Alpha549]

Hello everyone,

I came accross this custom component on Talend Exchange :

TalendExchange_tHashRow

 

I would like to know what the difference is between tAddCRCRow component and this one ?

tHashRow seems to be more flexible as we can choose the algorithm.

Thank you ! 🙂

Hello,

Here is online component reference about: TalendHelpCenter: tAddCRCRow

It provides a unique ID which helps improving the quality of processed data. CRC stands for Cyclical Redundancy Checking.

tAddCRCRow calculates a surrogate key based on one or several columns and adds it to the defined schema.

Hello Sabrina,

I also saw that tAddCRCRow generates a numeric key, whereas tHashRow is an alpha numeric key, with more characters (depending on the chosen algorithm).

Thank you !

The topic is solved 🙂
