What should you do to execute SQL statements or stored procedures in the Program Command shape?

Choosing an existing Database Connection component is the correct approach when executing SQL statements or stored procedures in the Program Command shape within Boomi. This component establishes a link between the Boomi process and the database, allowing the process to interact with the database using the SQL commands specified.

By leveraging an existing Database Connection component, you ensure that the connection parameters, such as authentication details, database type, and connection settings, are already configured and tested. This simplifies the process of executing SQL statements, as the Program Command shape can seamlessly use the established connection to communicate with the database.

This option is practical because it avoids the need to set up a new connection from scratch, which can be time-consuming and may introduce errors if not configured correctly. It also facilitates reusability in your processes, as the same connection can be utilized for various SQL commands or stored procedures across different parts of your integration workflow.

The other options, while they might seem relevant in certain contexts, do not provide the same level of efficiency or correctness when executing SQL statements or stored procedures directly within the Program Command shape.
