SQL Server Connection

Hi,

 

I am using the Alteryx trial version (SprakED) and trying to connect to a SQL server on my local computer. Everytime I try to connect, Alteryx crashes I know the user name and password are correct but for some reason it still crashes. 

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks!

VP

@VP1234, what are your machine specs? Your computer may not meet the minimum specs.

 

Also, do you have other memory-intensive applications open simultaneously, e.g. Power BI Desktop? I've experienced issues in the past with older machines when I had Power BI, Alteryx Designer, and many Chrome windows open simultaneously. 

 

Try opening your Task Manager to see what other memory intensive processes are running while you log into the SQL server. This could help identify potential conflicts.
