    Hi Aravindh,

    You can use the Data Explorer to perform SQL insert and update statements. You can also perform multiple SQL statements at once (one file). Make sure that every SQL statement ends with a ; and a new line.

    Can you confirm that your SQL statements end with a ; and a new line?

    Best regards,
    Peter

    Hi Aravindh,

    From where are you running your script? From the Data Explorer main page or a Data Explorer table page?

    If you explorer a specific table and click the import button on that page, you can only import rows for that table. If you want to perform an update, you must run your script directly on the Data Explorer main page.

    This is a security issue. If you give users access to specific tables, they can only insert data into that table. A user must have admin privileges to perform update or delete statements.

    Can you try to run your script directly from the Data Explorer main page?

    Best regards,
    Peter

    Hi Peter,
    I tried to run the script directly from the Data Explorer main page. It comes like

    ERROR: Import test.sql failed [check import file]
