Re: Query tool bombing out

Aditya,

Here's a typical screenshot, but I am afraid it won't tell you much:

[image: image.png]
Session is idle, the execute icon greyed out, and there is nothing under
messages after execution.

Logs and sample data is more tricky, because the database has health data
for well over a million people - not something I can just share or provide
access to.

My initial query was basically just to ask if anybody has experienced the
query tool behaving in this way, and if yes if they figured out why....

Regards
Calle
