h1. Recommended Usage

The component can be used when basic data extraction/insertion must be done for your needs.
The XML form of the data manipulated is static, so the component demands XML adaptation, mostly done with the XSTL component.

When you are facing complex database manipulations, the ETL approach with the Talend component may be more useful.
