kettle通过xml读取数据库连接
以前总是把数据库连接直接设置在了ktr文件中，由于数据库连接的地址经常更换，就想通过xml来读取数据库连接，更换数据库连接时直接修改xml文件就行了。
这是我的数据库连接xml文件database.xml（以oracle为列）：
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<Database>
<URL>jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.168.1.100:1521:orcl</URL>
<ClassName>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</ClassName>
<UserName>test</UserName>
<Password>123456</Password>
</Database>
然后读取这个xml文件，在读取xml的时候，注意数据类型：
设定环境变量setVariable.ktr源码如下：
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

要想使用这样的数据库连接，在写一个需要数据库连接的ktr时，需要选择Generic database，如下图所示：
这样我们在做job的时候，就可以先执行setVariable.ktr，然后执行连接数据的ktr就可以了。
不过我在测试中发现，不是所有的ktr都可以，有的可以，有的却不可以，具体是什么原因，还没有找到！
还需要进一步的测试！！！
