ETL+ Extract SQL Statement Panel

SQL statements in the Extract SQL Statement panel of ETL+ Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) window must work with the SQL syntax supported by the ETL+ source driver used to connect to the Source Object.

Proper Usage of SQL in the Extract SQL Statement

• Use T-SQL syntax for MS SQL Server data sources.

• For other source drivers refer to the source driver table below for the appropriate SQL variant. For instance, Use MySQL’s dialect of SQL for MySQL sources.

• Use ANSI Standard SQL if unsure. In case of issues, be sure to check the source’s documentation and syntax since most of them have variations from the regular ANSI Standard.

CONVERT vs. CAST

SELECT
    [column1],
    1  AS  [column2],
    CONVERT(varchar(30), GETDATE() ) AS [column3]
    
FROM
     [sourceTableName]

The CONVERT function is specific to T-SQL and is not part of the ANSI standard. Use CAST for non SQL Server data sources. ETL+ Extract SQL Statement: CONVERT()
