Limitations and Requirements

Nota

During normal selection or import of an entire table, you may encounter an error indicating a problem with a specific column. Since some tables require filtering based on a particular column, data from them can only be ingested using custom SQL statements. In this case, the problematic column can be used as a filter in the WHERE clause of a custom SQL statement to ingest the table.

For more information, please consult the CData driver documentation for the specific table.
For more information on using custom SQL, see Create Dataset with SQL.

Nota

For filtering date columns, this connection type supports a set of literal functions on dates. You can use these to reduce the volume of data extracted from the database using a custom SQL query. For more information, see the pg_dateliteralfunctions.htm page in the driver documentation for this connection type.

OAuth 2.0 authentication is required.
- An OAuth 2.0 web client is created for you in Alteryx Analytics Cloud (AAC).
- You cannot create OAuth 2.0 connections via API.
- You must authenticate through the OAuth 2.0 web client to enable the connection to work with the Asana datastore.
