Hi, thanks Matt for clarifying things. I got it at the processor is working just fine with mysql. Now I tried to use it with MS SQL. But here I get some issues and could not figure out why it is not working.
My Configuration is: Nifi: 0.5.0 Java 8 MS SQL 2014 DBCPConnectionPool: Database Connection URL: jdbc:sqlserver://192.168.79.252:1433;databaseName=testdb Class Name: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver Jar Url: file:///Users/rmeier/Downloads/tmp/sqljdbc42.jar <file:///Users/rmeier/Downloads/tmp/sqljdbc42.jar> Database user: sa Password: ********* In the ExecuteSQL I have the following configuration: MY Connection Pooling. SQL select query: select * from tuser; Max Wait Time: 0 seconds But when I run the processor I get the following error: 10:30:02 CET ERROR ExecuteSQL[id=d32x32d7-c477-4b3b-a8b9-a77d0be27273] ExecuteSQL[id=d32x32d7-c477-4b3b-a8b9-a77d0be27273] failed to process due to org.apache.avro.SchemaParseException: Empty name; rolling back session: org.apache.avro.SchemaParseException: Empty name 10:30:02 CET ERROR ExecuteSQL[id=d32x32d7-c477-4b3b-a8b9-a77d0be27273] Processor Administratively Yielded for 1 sec dure to processing failure Did somebody of you have an idea how to solve this issue and what is the root cause here fore? Thanks again for your help.
