Hello,
I am currently experiencing an error in Alteryx Designer (v24.2). Every input/output data tool I use that accesses my (PostgreSQL) database gives the following errors:
Unexpected error while parsing ODBC column 1 description types:
Unexpected error while parsing ODBC column 2 description types:
...
repeated for however many columns are in the table.
This error only started occurring after I updated my PostgreSQL ODBC driver to the latest version (v17.00.00.04).
I could not find any instances of people having this error on the Alteryx community at all, but I did see that it was listed in more than one patch note as being fixed (such as https://help.alteryx.com/release-notes/en/release-notes/designer-release-notes/designer-2023-1-relea... and https://help.alteryx.com/release-notes/en/release-notes/designer-release-notes/designer-2024-1-relea...).
It floods my output with error messages which is annoying, but everything appears to be working as usual, and the data is getting properly input/output to the database regardless of these errors.
I’ve been playing with it for about a day now, and nothing I can think of gets it to go away. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thanks jrainone, with this version v11.01, the error doesn't occur.
This worked for me also! Thanks for sorting
Same! Just went back to 11 and I'm all good. Thanks!
