sql take forever to run in Alteryx

Hi,

Hope you can give me some insights. I have an SQL code. I tested in SQL Studio, it takes only a few seconds to get the result (about 5000+ rows only) but when i use this code in Alteryx, it takes "forever" to run (no error show). Do you have any idea?

 

P/s: i am very sure the SQL code has no error and i already checked query error in alteryx.

Thank you

Do you know what driver Alteryx is using to query the data? Also maybe try the OLEDB connection instead of ODBC. Sometimes this can be faster for a Microsoft SQL Server.

Hi @BrandonB : i am using ODBC. it is the issue? thank you

ODBC should work just fine, but because the driver is the way that your computer is effectively transferring the data over to your computer, sometimes using a different one can be more efficient. I would also recommend taking a look at our data sources page for more information about your specific source: https://help.alteryx.com/current/designer/data-sources

@BrandonB i changed to connect directly to an online server on Alteryx Gallery but it is the same. it takes "forever" to run... i think it shouldnt be odbc issue?
