Optimizing the use of CASE Statements

[stephbzr]

Hello,

I'm currently working on a project with Talend where I need to extract data from a file. I'm using a tFileInputDelimited component followed by a tJavaFlex component. One of the pieces of data contains a numeric code ranging from 1 to 100. Depending on this code, it should correspond to a specific string.

Creating 100 individual CASE blocks to handle the different cases seems impractical and not very efficient.

I'm seeking suggestions to optimize this process. Has anyone encountered a similar situation before? Are there best practices or alternative approaches that can be used to handle a large number of cases more efficiently?

Thank you.

Hi

Take a look at tReplaceList component, maybe you can create a mapping file and use this component to replace of case statement block.

How about creating a CSV file something like:

ID;String Value

then use tMap and join this with the main dataflow of yours.

Later it's enough to handle the CSV file outside of the job.
