SQL Table Editor connecting to External Database not working

Hi,

Can anyone explain why External connection is not working in SQL Table Editor ? The same connection is working for Data Adapter.

Screenshot for Data Adapter and it’s working.

 

Screenshot for SQL Table Editor and it’s not working.

 

 

I tried giving the schema name as well but no luck. We are on version 6.4.

Thanks
Sri

      Hi Nicolas, 

      column format is not required to test the connection. So I didn't include. 

  • I think the problem is the SQL Table Editor doesn't know what the database is but in your SQL Query for the data adapter you're using the fully qualified name ([dbname.schemaname.tablename]) assuming OneStream_Automation is your database name. It might be the db connection is set up only to the server. Check with your OneStream support and they will help you out.

  • Keep in mind that the editor and data adapter works differently. Also, is the user that you are using in the external connection does that user got write access to the tables?

        What is the error you are getting then? Prior releases won't let you write to a different schema. But I guess you are not on that version.
