How to concat sql query with pipeline parameter?

@concat("SELECT * FROM [dbo].[MyTable] where SourceSystem ='NAV' and NAV_Mandant='W020' and Entry_No_>",activity('LastRecW020NAV').output)

 

I'm using a german system. Because the where filter also need to be Sting in ''  quotation marks it dosn't work.

Is there a alternative text qualifier?

Hi @MartinGeschke ,

One alternative approach is to use double single quotes to escape the single quotes within your string.

Here is the changed codes that you can have a try.

@concat("SELECT * FROM [dbo].[MyTable] where SourceSystem =''NAV'' and NAV_Mandant=''W020'' and Entry_No_>", activity('LastRecW020NAV').output)

I am trying to insert the activity error in a table in fabric datawarehouse. But because of special characters like *, ' I am unable to insert that error message into table. Any solution for this?

Can you please provide the expected SQL otput statement that you are envisioning to be executed in the database meaning Select * from xyz  format.

And also what is your parameter name and a sample value of that.

 

Using that we would help you make it dynamic? There are 2 ways : 1 using conact and other is direct expression
