Database Profile(4.2)

In a Database profile configuration, you can create database profiles for use in various agents and profiles including:

What a profile can be used for depends on the selected database type. The supported usage for each database type is described in the section below, Database Types.

The Database profile is loaded when you start a workflow that depends on it. Changes to the profile become effective when you restart the workflow.

The Database profile has two tabs: General and Properties.

General Tab

In the General tab, the two radio buttons Default Connection Setup and Advanced Connection Setup display different connection options.

Default Connection Setup

Select the Default Connection Setup radio button to use a preconfigured connection string.

escapeSyntaxCallMode

Note!

Since PostgreSQL 11, there is support for stored PROCEDURE, prior versions of PostgreSQL support only the stored FUNCTION. Hence, a new connection property called escapeSyntaxCallMode has been introduced by PostgreSQL for users to configure.

This property specifies how the driver transforms JDBC escape call syntax into underlying SQL, for invoking procedures or functions.

  • In escapeSyntaxCallMode=select (the PostgreSQL default) mode, the driver always uses a SELECT statement (allowing function invocation only).

  • In escapeSyntaxCallMode=callIfNoReturn  mode, the driver uses a CALL statement (allowing procedure invocation) if there is no return parameter specified. Otherwise, the driver uses a SELECT statement.

  • In escapeSyntaxCallMode=call mode, the driver always uses a CALL statement (allowing procedure invocation only)

In case you are using Callable Statements with PostgreSQL, you can configure the escapeSyntaxCallMode connection property in the Database Profile. However, if this property is not configured in the Database Profile, it will be using the default escapeSyntaxCallMode=select.

If you're utilizing Callable Statements with PostgreSQL, you have the option to set the escapeSyntaxCallMode property either within the Connection String parameters or within the Properties tab of the Database Profile. Should you choose to configure this property in both locations, priority will be given to the setting within the Connection String.
