Hello,

I am currently working on a script able to insert one single line of data from collected variables during the pipeline execution.

The problem is i keep running into a "Must declare the table variable "@CONNECTOR_DB"." error and i cant find how to solve it.

The script i'm trying to run is a very simple Insert :

INSERT INTO @CONNECTOR_DB
VALUES(@PIPELINE_ID,@IMPORT_DATE,@NB_ROWS_READ,@NB_ROWS_WRITTEN,@NB_ERROR_ROWS,@COMMENT,@Gaydamak _NAME)

Where @CONNECTOR_DB is @{pipeline().parameters.connectorDb}.T_ImportHistory_IH

I've tried other ways to enter the connectorDb but i keep running into syntax errors or "unexpected character ." and the likes.

Please advise.

I also want to apologize, english is not my first language.

Have a nice day.

    Hello @fry 319

    Can you store the metadata in a file in data lake and use a Lookup activity and pass the metadata to the foreach activity

    This way you can pass the parameters and execute the pipeline

    Does the connectorDB parameter having any value or is it an empty string?

    Hi @fry 319 ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A platform and thankyou for posting your query.

    As I understand your query here, you are trying to make use of Script activity by using script parameters but it's failing with the error: "Must declare the table variable ".

    TableName cannot be passed as a parameter.

    The logic behind this is same as how you write the SQL query where you can make use of input and output parameters , however, tableName can't be parameterized.
