Qlik Sense to Databricks error message: 'Error operating GET_COLUMNS Invalid UUID string: '.

Hi all,

Anyone else been experiencing this error message when connecting to Databricks via Qlik Sense?

ERROR [08000] [Qlik][Hardy] (35) Error from server: error code: '0' error message: 'Error operating GET_COLUMNS Invalid UUID string: '.

I suspect it might be an issue on the table format on Databricks (structure of csv, json, xml etc.) but cannot get this confirmed.

Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Hello, try one of these steps:

Check the table format in Databricks. Try querying a simple Delta table instead of a CSV or JSON-based table.

Update your ODBC/JDBC driver to the latest version supported by both Qlik and Databricks.

Test the connection using another tool (like DBeaver or a Python script) to see if the issue is specific to Qlik.
