Hi there! My team has run into a strange error, we can't overcome ourselves and would really appreciate your support and help. We are working with the extractor
tap facebook-ads
and loader
target-snowflake
to pull facebook-ads api data into our data warehouse. We are running into an error which suggests one or more of the field-names in the table
ADS_INSIGHTS__UNIQUE_ACTIONS
cannot be pulled because it begins with a numeric character.
Copy code
target-snowflake | target_snowflake.exceptions.SnowflakeError: ('Exception writing records', SQLError('Identifier must only contain alphanumerics, or underscores, and start with alphas. Got `a` for `1D_CLICK`',))
In order to bypass the error, we tried to exclude the table from being pulled entirely but the error persists no matter what patterns we try to define in order to exclude the table (meaning the table is pulled regardless of what exclusion syntax we include). We have configured the
tap
the following way (last version):
Copy code
meltano select --list tap-facebook
Legend:
	selected
	excluded
	automatic
