SQL Azure Schema Issue - azure

I'm getting an email regarding a Schema Issue on my SQL Azure Database and it reads something like this:
"Invalid column name 'False'" Error code : 207
However it doesn't appear to have any more information and I wouldn't even know where to start because the schema was created before I started in the project, but I suspect this is coming from a Stored Procedure or View.
This is all being reported in Azure Portal, but I have no idea how to proceed. Is there any other way to get the suggestions on Azure Portal in SSMS? I already tried Tuning Advisor and I got an error that SQL Azure was not supported.

I use this query to to search objects in this scenario. This will find every occurrence of false and should help you find the offending column. This will find every occurrence of whatever you define #searchName as.
I found this on Pinal Dave's blog, way back. This works in Azure SQL.
declare #searchName varchar(50) = 'false'
select #searchName as SearchName,
OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(OBJECT_ID) + '.' + OBJECT_NAME(OBJECT_ID) as ObjectName,
[definition]
from sys.sql_modules
where definition LIKE '%' + #searchName + '%'
order by OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(OBJECT_ID) + '.' + OBJECT_NAME(OBJECT_ID)

Azure Data Factory Error: "incorrect syntax near"

I'm trying to do a simple incremental update from an on-prem database as source to Azure SQL database based on a varchar column called "RP" in On-Prem database that contains "date+staticdescription" for example: "20210314MetroFactory"
1- I've created a Lookup activity called Lookup1 using a table created in Azure SQL Database and uses this Query
"Select RP from SubsetwatermarkTable"
2- I've created a Copy data activity where the source settings have this Query
"Select * from SourceDevSubsetTable WHERE RP NOT IN '#{activity('Lookup1').output.value}'"
When debugging -- I'm getting the error:
Failure type: User configuration issue
Details: Failure happened on 'Source' side.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and how to fix it even if it requires creating more activities.
Note: There is no LastModifiedDate column in the table. Also I haven't yet created the StoredProcedure that will update the Lookup table when it is done with the incremental copy.
Steve is right as to why it is failling and the query you need in the Copy Data.
As he says, you want a comma-separated list of quoted values to use in your IN clause.
You can get this more easily though - from your Lookup directly using this query:-
select stuff(
(
select ','''+rp+''''
from subsetwatermarktable
for xml path('')
)
, 1, 1, ''
) as in_clause
The sub-query gets the comma separated list with quotes around each rp-value, but has a spurious comma at the start - the outer query with stuff removes this.
Now tick the First Row Only box on the Lookup and change your Copy Data source query to:
select *
from SourceDevSubsetTable
where rp not in (#{activity('lookup').output.firstRow.in_clause})
The result of #activity('Lookup1').output.value is an array like your error shows
[{"RP":"20210307_1Plant
1KAO"},{"RP":"20210314MetroFactory"},{"RP":"20210312MetroFactory"},{"RP":"20210312MetroFactory"},{"RP":"2'.,Source=.Net
SqlClient Data
Provider,SqlErrorNumber=102,Class=15,ErrorCode=-2146232060,State=1,Errors=[{Class=15,Number=102,State=1,Message=Incorrect

'[{"RP":"20210311MetroFactory"},{"RP":"20210311MetroFactory"},{"RP":"202103140MetroFactory"},{"RP":"20210308MetroFactory"},{"RP":"2'.,},]
However, your SQL should be like this:Select * from SourceDevSubsetTable WHERE RP NOT IN ('20210307_1Plant 1KAO','20210314MetroFactory',...).
To achieve this in ADF, you need to do something like this:
create three variables like the following screenshot:
loop your result of #activity('Lookup1').output.value and append 'item().RP' to arrayvalues:
expression:#activity('Lookup1').output.value
expression:#concat(variables('apostrophe'),item().RP,variables('apostrophe'))
3.cast arrayvalues to string and add parentheses by Set variable activity
expression:#concat('(',join(variables('arrayvalues'),','),')')
4.copy to your Azure SQL database
expression:Select * from SourceDevSubsetTable WHERE RP NOT IN #{variables('stringvalues')}

ADF Creating a LookUp Activity Query with a Variable

We have a bug in Final Testing. I am trying to make the following Query in a LookUp Activity:
SELECT ShortName, EEOXrefCode FROM [MercerStagingDev].[MILKY-WAYTEST\AppSQLVST4DotNetDev-R].[Copy of Battelle Work Assignment Fields Jobs]
WHERE XRefCode = #variables('JobXRefCode')
I have the Set Variable showing the correct String 'JobXrefCode' but am getting a crazy error. Please help; I must figure out how to do this "syntax" this weekend.
Thanks!!

Details
Failure happened on 'Source' side. ErrorCode=SqlOperationFailed,'Type=Microsoft.DataTransfer.Common.Shared.HybridDeliveryException,Message=A database operation failed with the following error: 'Must declare the scalar variable "#variables".',Source=,''Type=System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException,Message=Must declare the scalar variable "#variables".,Source=.Net SqlClient Data Provider,SqlErrorNumber=137,Class=15,ErrorCode=-2146232060,State=2,Errors=[{Class=15,Number=137,State=2,Message=Must declare the scalar variable "#variables".,},],'
Please try this expression:
SELECT ShortName, EEOXrefCode
FROM [MercerStagingDev].[MILKY-WAYTEST\AppSQLVST4DotNetDev-R].[Copy of Battelle Work Assignment Fields Jobs]
WHERE XRefCode = '#{variables('JobXRefCode')}'
Update:
Expressions can also appear inside strings, using a feature called
string interpolation where expressions are wrapped in #{ ... }. For
example: "name" : "First Name: #{pipeline().parameters.firstName} Last
Name: #{pipeline().parameters.lastName}"
Using string interpolation, the result is always a string.
So when you do something like this SQL: SELECT * FROM TableName WHERE ColumnName = 'value', you can use this expression.
Here are some samples in ADF Tutorials:

Unable to get scalar value of a query on cosmos db in azure data factory

I am trying to get the count of all records present in cosmos db in a lookup activity of azure data factory. I need this value to do a comparison with other value activity outputs.
The query I used is SELECT VALUE count(1) from c
When I try to preview the data after inserting this query I get an error saying
One or more errors occurred. Unable to cast object of type
'Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JValue' to type 'Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject'
as shown in the below image:
snapshot of my azure lookup activity settings
Could someone help me in resolving this error and if this is the limitation of azure data factory how can I get the count of all the rows of the cosmos db document using some other ways inside azure data factory?
I reproduce your issue on my side exactly.
I think the count result can't be mapped as normal JsonObject. As workaround,i think you could just use Azure Function Activity(Inside Azure Function method ,you could use SDK to execute any sql as you want) to output your desired result: {"number":10}.Then bind the Azure Function Activity with other activities in ADF.
Here is contradiction right now:
The query sql outputs a scalar array,not other things like jsonObject,or even jsonstring.
However, ADF Look Up Activity only accepts JObject,not JValue. I can't use any convert built-in function here because the query sql need to be produced with correct syntax anyway. I already submitted a ticket to MS support team,but get no luck with this limitation.
I also tried select count(1) as num from c which works in the cosmos db portal. But it still has limitation because the sql crosses partitions.
So,all i can do here is trying to explain the root cause of issue,but can't change the product behaviours.
2 rough ideas:
1.Try no-partitioned collection to execute above sql to produce json output.
2.If the count is not large,try to query columns from db and loop the result with ForEach Activity.
You can use:
select top 1 column from c order by column desc

Query Google Cloud Datastore to retrieve matching results

I am using Google Cloud Datastore to save my application data. I have to add a query to get all results matching with Name, Brand or Sku.
Query data with one of the field is returning me records but using all fields together returns me error.
Query:
const term = "My Red";
const q = gstore.createQuery(req.params.orgId, "Variant")
.filter('brand', '=', term)
.filter('sku', '=', term)
.limit(10);
Error:
{"msec":435.96913800016046,"error":"no matching index found.
recommended index is:- kind: Variant properties: -
name: brand - name:
sku","data":{"code":412,"metadata":{"_internal_repr":{}},"isBoom":true,"isServer":true,"data":null,"output":{"statusCode":500,"payload":{"statusCode":500,"error":"Internal
Server Error","message":"An internal server error
occurred"},"headers":{}}}} Debug: internal, error
Also, I want to perform OR operation to get matching results as above will return data with AND operation.
Please help me to find correct path to achieve the desired result.
Thanks in advance and let me know if something is not clear.
The error indicates that the composite index required by the respective query is not in Serving state.
That means it's either not created/deployed or it was recently deployed and is still being built.
Composite indexes must be specifically created and deployed in your app.
If you didn't create it you need to do so. The error message indicates the content the index configuration requires. If you're using the development server it might create it automatically, but you still need to deploy it.
See Indexes docs for more details.
If you recently deployed the composite index please note that it can take some significant amount of time until the matching index is built, depending on how many entities of that kind already exist in the Datastore. You can check the status of the index building in the developer console, on the Indexes page

Unable to select from SQL Database tables using node-ibm_db

I created a new table in the Bluemix SQL Database service by uploading a csv (baseball.csv) and took the default table name of "baseball".
I created a simple app in Node.js which is just trying to select data from the table with select * from baseball, but I keep getting the following error:
[IBM][CLI Driver][DB2/NT] SQL0204N "USERxxxx.BASEBALL" in an undefined name
Why can't it find my database table?
This issue seems independent of bluemix, rather it is usage error.
This error is possibly caused by following:
The object identified by name is not defined in the database.
User response
Ensure that the object name (including any required qualifiers) is correctly specified in the SQL statement and it exists.
try running "list tables" from command prompt to check if your table spelling is correct or not.
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_9.7.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.messages.sql.doc/doc/msql00204n.html?cp=SSEPGG_9.7.0%2F2-6-27-0-130
I created the table from SQL Database web UI in bluemix and took the default name of baseball. It looks like this creates a case-sensitive table name.
Unfortunately for me, the sql_db libary (and all db2 clients I believe) auto-capitalizes the SQL query into "SELECT * FROM BASEBALL"
The solution was to either
A. Explicitly name my table BASEBALL in the web UI; or
B. Modify my sql query by quoting the table name:
select * from "baseball"
