The MySQL Exec component allows you to execute an SQL statement against MySQL to update/delete data. Note, that each component can contain one statement.
It is compatible with MySQL 5.6 and above.
Output Payload
| Output Payload | Description |
|---|---|
cv.Payload |
In addition to the input payload, it passes LastInsertId or RowsAffected by the executed SQL statement |
LastInsertId is returned when the executed SQL statement was an INSERT statement and the ID generated by the DB could be obtained.
RowsAffected returns the number of records affected by the executed SQL statement. For example, it returns the number of rows deleted when the statement was a DELETE statement.

Placeholders
You must use placeholders in the SQL statement to be executed and use the value of cv.Playload in the SQL statement.
UPDATE table1 SET name='Updated name' WHERE id=? The value of cv.Payload is used for the placeholder specified by ?. When cv.Payload contains 1, it updates the record where id is 1.
You can specify more than one placeholder.
UPDATE table1 SET name=? WHERE id=? To specify values for more than one placeholder, specify the values in an array in cv.Payload.
