Connecting talnd to MySQL [transation read-only status server]

Question

I am trying to connect Talend (version 7.0.1) to MySQL Server (version 8.0.12), I can successfully connect and perform simple select queries to the database. However as soon as I try to perform a bulk Insert I get the following exception:

Starting job A_2_ProcessRestData_NEW at 17:59 20/08/2018.

Do you have any clue on what might be?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I eventually solved the question. It turns out that the DB Version to be used cannot be MySQL 5 as I was specifying. I need to use MariaDB instead. Problem solved ;)
