Merge SQL Statement (that imports Data from a json)

Help
,
1

Hi Guys i use an SQL Statement to Import data from an json file to the database.
Now i want to automate that. I read the How To to query a SQL database.
I added the DB connect activity to my sequence and connect it to the db (works).
Then i added the execute query activity to the stream and added the db connect Parameters. Then i added the SQL Statement.
Now i got following error:

An error has occured

I am also facing same problem. Can some one please help us

Can we have more details? Studio version, UiPath.Database.Activities pack version, have you done the same steps as the initial post and anything that you think it will help us reproduce.

Thanks!

Following are the details :

Studio : 2018.1.0
activity : UiPath.Database.Activities.DatabaseConnect
(I am not sure about how to check the activity pack version)

Connection string : “Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=db;User ID=root;Password=root”
Provider name : “System.Data.SqlClient”

I have just started using Database using UIPATH and I was trying to connect using DatabaseConnect activity and i faced this issue.

I am facing same kind of error when i am trying to write data into database using " insert activity".

any one had any solution ?
Thanks.

Does anyone have a solution for this yet? Cz am also facing the same issue!

Hi Ovi,

I’m also facing the same issue. Do you have any solution for this?

In the ExecuteQuery workflow try change the Timeout(milliseconds) property to something high. I think we get that error if SQL query is not done pulling data within the default timeout of 30 seconds.
By changing the timeout property I got rid of the error. It may work for some of you guys too.
