Connection to two different databases

Good...

I have a query made to an EXCEL table and I want to get data from a table in POSTGRESQL, which I would like to synchronize later.

As I want to perform the query of both databases, an error comes out that you can not fold over the native query, modify the native query (I do not know what I have to modify) or remove the "EnableFolding" option, which even if I delete it, I still cannot connect.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, @Syndicate_Admin ;

To disable native query folding, set the EnableFolding flag to false for Value.NativeQuery() in the advanced editor.

For scenarios where you get errors because query folding wasn't possible, it is recommended that you try validating your steps as a subquery of your original native query to check if there might be any syntax or context conflicts.
