Hi Nicholas

Sorry, I made some confusion. Below is what I want to achieve.

1. Extract data by fdx and copy to a datatable variable finalTable

2. Tried to set up a connection in Extensibility BR to our company sql database through SIC (SIC = "DWH_AWS1DNA01")

3. Save Data in finalTable to a Sql table dbo.OneStream_Table

I have successfully put data in the finalTable, but cannot save data to sql table. The codes I used are

Dim connectionString = "DWH_AWS1DNA01"    --SIC connector name set up to pull out data from sql
Using dbConnExt As DbConnInfo = BRApi.Database.CreateExternalDbConnInfo(si, connectionString) 
If Not finalTable Is Nothing Then 
BRApi.Database.SaveCustomDataTable(si, connectionString, "Test_Datawarehouse.dbo.OneStream_Table", finalTable, True)
 
End If
End Using
 
The company sql database is on AWS cloud, and the same SIC can pull out data from sql to OS by a sql query.  
Thanks

Hi zwc

Here is the code I use and it works:

Using dbConn As DbConnInfo = BRApi.Database.CreateDbConnInfo(si, DbLocation.External,"[[your SIC Connection name]]")
'.CreateCustomExternalDbConnInfo(si, DbProviderType.Gateway, "GRDWDB")
dt = BRApi.Database.ExecuteSql(dbConn, insertStatement, False)

End Using

The insertStatement variable is a string that contains an insert statement. But your problem, I believe, is the dbConnInfo.

Cheers!

    I tried with SaveCustomDataTable and received a message saying it is not compatible with SIC. So for now, my best answer is with the insert statement which will only work with a small number of records
