Hi @siva3012,

 

Based on your screenshot, the issue is related to your database engine. Please increase the tempdb size to work through the issue or re-write a suitable query.

I have a small dout, I am connecting millions of rows in one table with many tables which is the same, and intially i have imported the data by connecting to the SQL Server database by IMPORT query. "The database is normally connected through Remote Desktop location". My Query is Since i load data through IMPORT, all the query which is applied in advance editor will impact in my system or in the remote server.

@siva3012 you have run out of space in your tempdb, are you applying a sort at all in your query?  .





If I took the time to answer your question and I came up with a solution, please mark my post as a solution and /or give kudos freely for the effort 🙂 Thank you!
