Examples

The following example creates a database by executing external ETL file named create_db.etl.xml and then executes an SQL script over it:
<etl>
    <connection id="createdb" driver="scriptella" url="createdb.etl.xml"/>
    <connection id="db" driver="oracle" url="jdbc:...."/>

    <script connection-id="db">
        INSERT INTO ...
    </script>
</etl>

The following example selects user_id, email from Users table and runs genreport.etl.xml and sendreport.etl.xml for each record found:

<etl>
    <connection id="db" driver="oracle" url="jdbc:...." />
    <connection id="scriptella" driver="scriptella" />

    <query connection-id="db">
        <!-- Selects User_ID and EMail, this variables are visible in nested scripts -->
        SELECT User_ID, Email FROM Users
        <script connection-id="scriptella">
            genreport.etl.xml <!-- Generates report for User_ID -->
            sendreport.etl.xml <!-- Sends produced report to Email -->
        </script>
    </query>
</etl>
