Eventstream has a custom SQL code capability. This capability always fails due to an "invalid input name", most likely due to a hyphen in the stream name. The problem is that there's no option to rename the stream, and it includes a hyphen by default. I assume since it's a new feature that this is a bug. I'd recommend to either allow the user to change the default stream name, or fix the SQL code capability so that it handles hyphens in input/output names.
Hi @PaxDataEngineer
Currently the SQL code editor is in preview and we can expect some challenges with the service.
With that said, I cannot recreate the issue on my development environment.
If I create a custom SQL job to my stream and do not alter it at all, it works OOTB.
Though, I can create the error message if I'm using non-streaming SQL functions and names.
You might already know this, the SQL code behind the Eventstream is the same as the Azure Streaming analytics and is a subset of functionality - you can read the entire docs here: Azure Stream Analytics & Fabric Eventstream Query Language Reference - Stream Analytics Query | Micr...
I hope you can make it work in your environment
So it does say "no problem detected" when just using the simple "SELECT * INTO [Output] FROM..." but after saving it you can see the error specifying that the stream name is invalid.
Ah yes. I see that.
I guess you are right with the small bug.
My guess it is due to the underscore in your stream name.
