EXTERNAL Table, Data_Source, etc.

torsten.strauss

Hi guys,

The syntax "External Table", "External Data_Source", etc. is not considered by the formatting template, instead SQL prompt even convert it to a sigle row.

CREATE EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE mydatasource

WITH (

    TYPE = HADOOP,

    LOCATION = 'hdfs://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8020'

)

CREATE EXTERNAL FILE FORMAT myfileformat

WITH (

    FORMAT_TYPE = DELIMITEDTEXT,

    FORMAT_OPTIONS (FIELD_TERMINATOR ='|')

);

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE ClickStream (

    url varchar(50),

    event_date date,

    user_IP varchar(50)

)

WITH (

        LOCATION='/webdata/employee.tbl',

        DATA_SOURCE = mydatasource,

        FILE_FORMAT = myfileformat

    )

;

Thank you for fixing it!

Hi Torsten,

The feature has been added in the SQL Prompt release 10.14.9

This can be downloaded from https://download.red-gate.com/checkforupdates/SQLPrompt/SQLPrompt_10.14.9.7331.exe

Please let me know if this works for you.

Hi Sujay,

thank you for fixing this but it is still not working as expected.

CREATE EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE [sample-data-files]
WITH
	(TYPE=BLOB_STORAGE,
		LOCATION = 'https://sqlvawrfhaejbb3ibq.blob.core.windows.net/sample-data-files'
	  , CREDENTIAL = [sqlvawrfhaejbb3ibq-sample-data-files]
	);
GO

CREATE EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE [sample-data-files]
WITH
	(
	    TYPE = BLOB_STORAGE
	  , LOCATION = 'https://sqlvawrfhaejbb3ibq.blob.core.windows.net/sample-data-files'
	  , CREDENTIAL = [sqlvawrfhaejbb3ibq-sample-data-files]
	);
GO

It should look like this ...
There is also a missing space after TYPE and =
