Rationale

This job uses the operators shown for the following reasons:

• Use SQL Selector operator because it is the only operator that can read BLOB/CLOB/JSON data from a Teradata Database and write it to separate external data files. One data file stores data for one LOB/JSON column.
• Use DataConnector operator because it is the only operator that can write LOB/JSON data to an external file.
