I am quite a novice with Make, and all I want to do is execute a SQL query on BigQuery and write the rows that are returns from that query into new rows into an existing MySQL table.
I have got the connections and mapping done, and it ‘runs successfully’ but nothing is loaded.
Do I need to have a step in between?
Its like it tries to put the whole query result into a single bundle, instead of keeping the rows.
Welcome to the Make community!
If the “whole query result” is an array, you need to put that array variable into an Iterator module.
Then, in your SQL module you will map the individual “row” data from the iterator.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
