Hello,

I am making an SQL call to a local database to retrieve a users default warehouse. However I cant seem to reference these values. How would I assign a type to these values so I am able to reference them?

I would recommend in your “SELECT” statement to write out the columns you are querying. Good luck.

In the end the solution was to give the columns from the database an alias 🙂  
Thank you Albin Lundberg for the help on this.
