Amazon Athena

Symptom

On Exploratory Cloud and/or your on-premise Exploratory Collaboration Server, when you schedule your Dashboard, Chart, Data that retrieves data from Amazon Athena, you might get an empty result.

This happens when your SQL query uses “WITH” clause at the begining of your query like below.

WITH Q1 as (select * from sampledb.elb_logs where request_port <> 2664) select * from Q1 limit 100

Workaround

This is a current limitation for the ODBC driver that Exploratory Server depends. To workaround it, you might want to wrap your query with SELECT * from () like below.

SELECT * from (WITH Q1 as (select * from sampledb.elb_logs where request_port <> 2664) select * from Q1 limit 100)
