Error: [SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'into'

[kapilsaini2009]

Discussed in #9765

^{Originally posted by kapilsaini2009 April 16, 2024}
I am trying to run GX with MSSQL but getting incorrect syntax error.

Problem:

Generated SQL by the framework for the given query is incorrect.
Input query for RuntimeBatchRequest - "select * from summary_data"
Generated SQL- SELECT *
FROM (SELECT * into #gx_temp_405773af from summary_data) AS anon_1
WHERE 1 = 1

Error Message:

sqlalchemy.exc.ProgrammingError: (pyodbc.ProgrammingError) ('42000', "[42000] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'into'. (156) (SQLExecDirectW)")
[SQL: SELECT *
FROM (SELECT * into #gx_temp_405773af from summary_data) AS anon_1
WHERE 1 = 1]

Code:

asset = 'summary_data'
 query = "select * from summary_data"

 batch_request = RuntimeBatchRequest(
     datasource_name='sql_server_datasource',
     data_connector_name='sql_gx_data_connector',
     data_asset_name=f'{asset}',
     runtime_parameters={
         "query": query,
     },
     batch_identifiers={"sql_gx_identifier": 'summary_checkpoint'}
 )

 validation_result = context.run_checkpoint(checkpoint_name="my_quickstart_checkpoint",
                                                expectation_suite_name="summary_data_suite_1", batch_request=batch_request)

Can someone please suggest what is wrong in my implementation or is there any other issue ?

I knew this issue and it is because of using SQLALchemy with SQL Server. I will fix it.
