Delete matching database rows
Deletes rows in database table where a combination of key fields matches a combination of key fields in EasyMorph table.
In alternative mode, deletes rows where a combination of key fields DOESN'T MATCH any combination of key fields in EasyMorph table.
Under the hood the transformation creates a temporary table in the target database, uploads key field combinations into it and performs DELETE..WHERE ..EXISTS statement. After the statement is executed the temporary table is deleted.
The operation is atomic, meaning that it either successfully deletes all matching (or non-matching) rows, or doesn't delete anything if a failure occurs.
Use cases This transformation can be used for deleting records which IDs are obtained from another data source (e.g. text file or spreadsheet).
