direct discovery issue

Hi all,

I am trying to use direct discovery to load data from SQL but it is not working for me.

Currently, the script is as follow

TableA:

SQL Select

User,

City,

Country,

Sales,

Margin from table xyz;

working fine but when I add DIRECT SELECT I get error..

TableA:

DIRECT SELECT

User,

City,

Country,

Sales,

Margin from table xyz;

Any idea?

Best,

Alec
