Use "Data Stream In" function to connect a local file and in-Databae workflow

I have problem when use "Data Stream In" function to connect a local file and in-Databae workflow.

 

Is there any possible to do this Join in-DB with a file import from interface? 

 

My understanding of the process is that use "Data Stream In" generate a temporary table from interface input file, and join in DB, then output only the joined data of interface input file and DB.

The output is still a xlsx file which could be downloaded in Gallery by app user.

Hi @TessaXu 

 

I use the data stream in exactly as you understand it, and it works fine. You dont even need special permissions to create temp tables, so with the proper configuration it should work. What error message the workflow is giving you on the data stream in tool?

I've also tried to replace the input file to Text input, just as your workflow, but still got the same error message

@TessaXu think that i understood the problem

 

The connection name is the connection name of the database. You can use the same one that you use with the In DB component.

Yes!You are right!

It works when changed the connection name of the database I used.

 

Thank you so much

@Chetan7s that makes no sense. you need a database to use in-db tools.
