Table Output

The Table Output step loads data into a database table. The Table Output step is equivalent to the SQL operator INSERT and is a solution when you only need to insert records. If you just want to update rows, you should use the Update step. To perform both INSERT and UPDATE commands, see the Insert/Update step.

This step provides configuration options for a target table and performance-related options such as Commit size and Use batch update for inserts. There are performance settings specific to a database type that can be set within the database connection JDBC properties. Refer to your database documentation for specific JDBC performance settings. See also Special database issues and experiences.

Note: If you insert a record into a database table that has identity columns, the JDBC driver returns the auto-generated key it uses when performing the insert. This is not supported on all database types.
