How do you execute sql queries in dataweave?

DataWeave itself cannot directly execute SQL queries. However, it can be used in conjunction with the MuleSoft Database Connector to achieve this functionality. Here's the approach:

1. Database Connector: The Database Connector in MuleSoft provides operations like select, insert, update, and delete to interact with various databases.

2. DataWeave for Dynamic Queries: DataWeave plays a crucial role in constructing dynamic SQL queries. You can use variables and expressions within your DataWeave script to build the query string based on your data or message payload.

3. Input Parameters: To prevent SQL injection vulnerabilities, it's recommended to use input parameters within your SQL query. DataWeave allows you to define a map containing these parameters, which are then referenced using a colon prefix (:paramName) in the SQL statement.

Here's a breakdown of the steps:

• Configure Database Connector: In your Mule flow, configure the Database Connector with the necessary connection details for your target database.

• DataWeave Script: Use a DataWeave transformer component within your flow. Here, you can define variables for the table name, columns, and any conditions based on your message payload.

• Building the SQL Query: Construct the SQL statement using string concatenation and DataWeave expressions. Utilize input parameters for dynamic values.

• Executing the Query: Within the Database Connector operation (e.g., select), reference the constructed SQL query and input parameter map (if applicable).
