The proper syntax for the split is $col$

Saurabh Jain

Hi,

I am creating an import job and I am getting error in data details tabs as below 

"The proper syntax for the split is $col$"

My query is bit complex. I am working in oracle11 database. 

Please help me to resolve the issue.


Also, Please confirm is it mandatory to start query with select. Because I am using source table and my query starts like 

WITH
source_table as (
select..........

How to create job for this type of query.

    Hello Saurabh,

    I've made quick research on your question,could you let me know the following, please:

    • Do you have any $ symbols in your query?

    • Would it be possible for you to leverage the next workaround - create a View based on required query and then choose this view in Datameer ImportJob to avoid custom query usage?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,

    1. Yes, I do have $ symbol in my query but it is just to show currency in $. I have removed it but still getting error " query should start from select".

    2. About the workaround -- I don't have access to create view in database. Is there any way so I can create view in datameer ?

    Thank you.

    Hello Saurabh,

    • This is known limitation to custom queries that have $ symbol, as it's used (as the service one) for enabling parallel import for such jobs.

    • Another mandatary requirement is to start a custom query with SELECT statement.

    >> Is there any way so I can create view in datameer?

    Roughly speaking, Datameer considers a database View and a table. This options allows you prepare data before ingest it into Datameer. 

    In case you are unable to create a View, I might import whole table into Datameer and then transform data as needed in a Workbook. 

    You may try to use Datalink instead of ImportJob to decrease amount of imported data, as a DataLink just points to the dataset.

    Hello Saurabh,

    I'm glad to hear that you were able move forward with your custom query.

    Regarding to your next questions about the Workbook, may I ask you to create a new post, to keep different questions in separate threads, it's more convenient for search and track purposes.

    Please provide the next details in this new post.

    • What exactly do you need to send - final sheet with calculation's results or workbook configuration?

    • What exactly problems do you face when trying to create an infographic?
