Using Input Field to Populate SQL Query

Queries and Resources
1

Hello

I cant seem to figure out what I am doing wrong here.

I have 2 inputs to populate an insert script, when I enter the values in they are showing within the query but they are getting inserted into the DB as @param1 and @param2.

Hi @andy2728! Happy to help here. If you hover over @param1 or @param2 in the bottom green preview, does it show the values you expect? And what resource type is this?

Hi @victoria

Yes, Correct the values are there when I hover over the param1 or param2. This is what made me think this would work but when I run the script the DB creates the column values as param1.

The Resource Type is MSSQL.

Thank you for clarifying. It seems to be working for me! Do you have prepared statements disabled in the resource setup page by any chance?

Most excellent! The docs should walk through prepared statements (and why we use them and what they restrict), but let me know if you have any questions at all :sunglasses:

Yep just read through all of that now thank you for that.

Thanks again for the prompt support and assistance with this.

As this is my first issue/thread, do I need to close this off somehow?
