How To Do A Database Join With Pdi?

If we want to join 2 tables from the same database, we can use a “Table Input” step and do the join in SQL itself.

If we want to join 2 tables that are not in the same database. We can use the the “Database Join”.
How To Sequentialize Transformations?

it is not possible as in PDI transformations all of the steps run in parallel. So we can’t sequentialize them.

How We Can Use Database Connections From Repository?

We can Create a new conversion or close and re-open the ones we have loaded in Spoon.

How Do You Insert Booleans Into A Mysql Database, Pdi Encodes A Boolean As ‘y’ Or ‘n’ And This Can’t Be Insert Into A Bit(1) Column In Mysql.?

BIT is not a standard SQL data type. It’s not even standard on MySQL as the meaning (core definition) changed from MySQL version 4 to 5.

Also a BIT uses 2 bytes on MySQL. That’s why in PDI we made the safe choice and went for a char(1) to store a boolean. There is a simple workaround available: change the data type with a Select Values step to “Integer” in the metadata tab. This converts it to 1 for “true” and 0 for “false”, just like MySQL expects.

By Default All Steps In A Transformation Run In Parallel, How Can We Make It So That 1 Row Gets Processed Completely Until The End Before The Next Row Is Processed?.
