I have successfully connected to my Oracle Database in Microsoft Access to Alteryx, however, I cannot figure out how to run the query I created in Alteryx as of a specific date in time. I have tried using the Date tool along with the Dynamic Input tool, but I can't seem to get the query to run properly, so I believe I'm missing either another tool, or I don't have the information configured correctly. Any help is appreciated.

Hi @jmeece9 can you post your workflow without the data? I can have a look at what you have done so far.
You should be able to do one of the following for a given date in time:
- Query your database for a given date within the Input tool itself
- Use the Filter tool
- Use the Interface tools to allow the user to input the date on the Filter tool
Hi @jmeece9
You could try a technique like this.
The SQL statement is "Select * from Data t where t.AsOf = to_date('2019-01-01','yyyy-mm-dd')" and the input to the Dynamic Input tools contains a field called AsOfDate which = '2019-08-01'. The Dynamic Input is configured to replace a specific string in the SQL Query with value from the ASOfDate field
