SQL transformer applies SQL operations to transform and manipulate data, providing flexibility and expressiveness in data transformations within a data pipeline.
The SQL component serves as a bridge between the extracted data and the desired transformed data, leveraging the power of SQL queries and database systems to enable efficient data processing and manipulation.
It also provides an option of using aggregation functions on the complete streaming data processed by the component. The user can use SQL transformations on Spark data frames with the help of this component.
All component configurations are classified broadly into the following sections:
