I dont think there is one so far.
In-Database tool requires database operation, which is not necessarily available to every Alteryx user.

Hi @Gualigee 

 

Your answer would be None

 

If you are looking sample Db connection endpoint there is no exact actual practice example workflow which is provided by Alteryx. Because of the Db endpoint.

The reason I asked is that these tools are tested in the expert exam.

The guide mentioned I should look into weekly challenge.  

😞

Hi @Gualigee 

 

I have completed all weekly challenges and even @Qiu is a active participant too.

 

From experience i can say weekly challenges will boost your skills. It alone wont be enough even predictive palates is not covered much.

 

You need a lot of experience for Expert and its suggestable that you try to cover all tools in the suggested palates.

Hi @JoeM , 

 

I found three in-database tools training videos presented by you. 

 

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Videos/In-Database-Workflows/td-p/330566

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Videos/In-Database-Tools/td-p/45285

 

Are they similar? are they following topics covered in the training? Thanks. 

 

In-Database Analysis
Create new in-database connection strings
Connect to SQL database tables
Stream data into an in-database workflow

Attached is my notes for in-database tool. 

Actually, I still have not got a chance to have access to any database. 

So not confident in the in-database tool questions in the exam:(
