Execute a DB query generated through formula

Rayan

I have a SQL query that has a date field which is dynamic. I modified the query using Formula tool. Now, the resulting output should be executed against a database. I cannot hard code the query in input tool. Is there a way for this? I am new to Alteryx and any help is much appreciated.

You will want to either use a Dynamic Input tool (Developer category) or a Dynamic Input In-DB (In Database Category). Both of these tools allow you to dynamically change a query that is then executed based on what you are passing in.

I did try Dynamic Input, but couldn't get it working. Will take another shot. Thanks.

Hi @Rayan ,

Can you please elaborate on the error that you got while using the dynamic input tool. Also if possible can you share a screenshot of how you have configured that tool.

Best,

Jagdeesh

@Rayan , please make sure that the dynamic tool will only allow you to run Select queries. so no insert or updates.

Appreciate support from everyone. Dynamic Input tool is the way to go. I'll explore In-Memory version further.
