Hi,
I have a Data Pipeline in Production that COPIES SQL Server tables into Lakehouse tables. The Pipeline does an overwrite of each table every time. All tables work well except one.
1. I count rows with preview:
2. I configure source and I preview data correctly:
3. I configure destination:
4. Run pipeline and it fails:
I've done some testing:
If I preview the data it works, but if I run the Pipeline it fails, always the same error. The only way I've seen it works, is when I filter the query with one filed value. I don't think is a column names issue because the query that is working selects all the columns.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Finally, I ask SQL Server admin to create the same table in source in a different way. We don't know which was the reason of the failure but changing the table create mode, now it's working.

Try doing your own mapping manually with + New mapping. You already have access to column names and data types.
I ingest some tables inside a loop. I can't specify the schema because it's different for each table. I use the same COPY activity for all the tables, setting table_name as a variable in de COPY activity.
Can you try what I said just to test the problem? At least we can determine which column is the problem.
Hello, have you tried selecting the import schemas option from the mapping section?
If there is an empty column, maybe you can see it here.
Unable to import schema. I click on Import schemas, it says Loading but with no error message, it doesn't import it.
