# Common config fields, showing default values

sql:
  driver: "" # No default (required)
  data_source_name: "" # No default (required)
  query: INSERT INTO footable (foo, bar, baz) VALUES (?, ?, ?); # No default (required)
  args_mapping: root = [ this.cat.meow, this.doc.woofs[0] ] # No default (optional)

  unsafe_dynamic_query: false
  args_mapping: root = [ this.cat.meow, this.doc.woofs[0] ] # No default (optional)
  result_codec: none

If the query fails to execute then the message will remain unchanged and the error can be caught using error handling methods.

Alternatives

For basic inserts or select queries use either the sql_insert or the sql_select processor. For more complex queries use the sql_raw processor.
