Hi Everyone,
Here's what I'm trying to do: I'm querying from a source database and got my result set, below is an example:
I want to update the 'A' to 'Andy', that's it, the rest stays the same. But I only have read/write access to the source database as it contains sensitive information. So which step should I use in Kettle 3.2 to update specific records in my result set?
Notes: I'm not updating fields/columns, I want to update specific records, so that eliminates the 'Update' and 'Insert/Update' steps. Also, I DO NOT WANT to actually update the source database, so would the 'Execute SQL Script' step work? Would it update the records that I want from the previous 'Table Input' step, but everything in the source database remains untouched? Any other steps should I consider?
I hope I was clear, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.
David
