Pass catalog/schema/table name as a parameter to sql task

[EdemSeitkh]

Hi, i am trying to pass catalog name as a parameter into query for sql task, and it pastes it with single quotes, which results in error. Is there a way to pass raw value or other possible workarounds? 

query:

INSERT INTO {{ catalog }}.pas.product_snapshot
SELECT ...

task parameters

 { "catalog": "dev" }

error message:

[PARSE_SYNTAX_ERROR] Syntax error at or near ''dev''.(line 1, pos 12) == SQL == INSERT INTO 'dev'.pas.product_snapshot  SELECT ...

Thanks!

workaround that worked for me was to create databricks sql query, add enum parameter and use that query in task, instead of git file.

dropdownlist works well, however it doesnt work when i do a dynamic parameter like {{task.name}}.

Any one got a solution?

@EdemSeitkh  -  you may need to populate in a single quote -'{{ catalog }}'.  Hopefully, you had created a sql query in DBSQL query editor and it will provide the parameters to populate in the UI itself like below example.

@shan_chandra yes, i have created with DBSQL query and it worked fine. Previously it was using direct file from git and had this issue i described.

@EdemSeitkh  can you elaborate on your workaround? Curious how you were able to implement an enum paramter in DBSQL.

I'm running into this same issue now.
