I have an eventstream connected to Azure SQL with CDC enabled. I want to connect few tables with underscore(_) character in them. How can this be achieved? All other tables have been connected and is working fine, what would be a workaround for tables with these names?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @SauravRajJoshi ,
Thank you for reaching out. I’ve tested adding an underscore in the table names, and it appears to be possible.
To better understand and assist with your issue, could you please provide more details? Specifically:
Error Messages: Are you encountering any specific error messages when trying to connect the tables with underscores? If so, could you share the exact error message?
Data Flow: Is the issue that data is not being ingested from the tables with underscores, or is it that the connection fails altogether?
CDC Enabled: Could you also check if the Change Data Capture (CDC) is enabled for these specific tables with underscores in their names?
These details will help us identify the root cause and suggest an appropriate solution.
Looking forward to your response.
Best regards,
Wenyang
Hi @SauravRajJoshi ,
Could you try adding square brackets? Table names containing special characters may not be recognized directly. When you select multiple tables, are the table names separated by commas? Example: [dbo].[table_1], [dbo].[table_2]

No it doesn't work that way either, please refer to the screenshot below. I have tried using braces, square brackets and others, and tried with the tables of my azure sql database. Still doesn't work, could there be anything else to try? or is there a release plan for this?

Hi @SauravRajJoshi ,
As of now, Microsoft has not officially planned for this feature.
You can submit an idea for it at Home (microsoft.com) and wait for users with the same needs as you to vote for you to help make it happen as soon as possible.

Hi @Wenyang
So the issue was when creating the connection, what you're showing is after creating the connection, going to edit mode and adding tables. Yes this solution works for now, it's more like a loophole than a solution I think. I don't know if they will update it, hopefully they wont.
Thank you
