Can't connect to Snowflake

nirutaware — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 23:08:30 GMT

Hello,

I have multiple snowflake connections created in Qlik SAAS

All were working fine until today.

Now all snowflake connections are failing due to below error

ERROR [42000] SQL compilation error: syntax error line 1 at position 4 unexpected '-'.

Kindly help.

Hi @nirutaware Do you know which region your tenant belong to?

Hi,

I see the error : message='Error message: Please check the values for Username‚ Password‚ Host and other properties. Description: Syntax error or access violation', detailMessage='ERROR [42000] SQL compilation error: syntax error line 1 at position 4 unexpected '-'.'.

Please check your connection details again, edit the credential and Test the connection before reloading any apps.

Thank you

@nirutaware Would you mind trying now and seeing if the error still persists? there is some improvement has been made recently, that might resolve your issue.

Thanks

Hello,

This issue got resolved automatically,
not sure how but, our apps were failing for almost two days, and from 3rd day it succeeded.

Did not change anything in connection though.
