QlikView Direct Discovery

Hello All.

I am using QlikView 11.2 SR 15. I am trying to set up a Direct Discovery connection to an OLEDB SQL server using the following syntax.

DIRECT SELECT Field1,
Field2
FROM Database."Owner"."Database Tables";

When I run the script, I receive a "Line is not valid." error. The script does not seem to like the quotation marks, but that is what the connection set up provides.

Thank you in advance.

Tom

Hi Tom,

I had faced the same issue earlier and got it resolved by adding the below variable before loading the data.Request you to try the same:

SET DirectCacheSeconds= 15;

SET DirectStringQuoteChar=’”’;

SET DirectIdentifierQuoteChar=' ';

SET DirectConnectionMax= 4;

SET DirectTableBoxListThreshold= 100000;

SET DirectDistinctSupport=true;

SET DirectIdentifierQuoteStyle=’ANSI’;
