Amazon Redshift unnesting of the super field

Hello everyone,

I'm searching for some advice and I would be grateful for any support regarding the following:

 

Issue: cannot upload the data from Amazon Redshift database, while trying to unnest the filed SUPER (aka nested field)

 

Error occurred: 

Details: "ODBC: ERROR [XX000] [Microsoft][Amazon Redshift] (30) Error occurred while trying to execute a query: [SQLState XX000] ERROR:  Query unsupported due to an internal error.

DETAIL:  *var_it != join_var_

 

Statement example (which runs on DBeaver with no problem)

 

 

 

 

select 
  event_date::date,
  super.param_name1,
  super.param_name2,
  super.param_name3
from my_data_base mdb
limit 100

 

 

 

 

So as you can see I address to superfield as "super", then I address to the required parameter as ".param_name1" using "." instead of join and unnest operators, but basically as I understand this is a syntax which is common for Redshift

 

Many thanks for your support in advance!
This is the screenshot of the error.

I could resolve the error my setting [EnableFolding=false] instead of true at the end the power query

I've changed the connection with Amazon Redshift from direct connection to ODBC connection and it worked.

How have you gotten around with that issue? I'm experiencing the same problem

Were you ever able to resolve this issue on your own? 

I resolved the issue by changing the ODBC connection. I had to download the driver and connect using that. However, I'm unsure why this happened. I previously had a connection that worked perfectly fine, but then this problem occurred. I would like to understand why this happened to prevent it in the future.
