Limitations and Requirements
注記
During normal selection or import of an entire table, you may encounter an error indicating a problem with a specific column. Since some tables require filtering based on a particular column, data from them can only be ingested using custom SQL statements. In this case, the problematic column can be used as a filter in the WHERE clause of a custom SQL statement to ingest the table.
For more information, consult the CData driver documentation for the specific table.
For more information on using custom SQL, go to Create Dataset with SQL.
注記
For filtering date columns, this connection type supports a set of literal functions on dates. You can use these to reduce the volume of data extracted from the database using a custom SQL query. For more information, go to the pg_dateliteralfunctions.htm page in the driver documentation for this connection type.
This connection requires OAuth 2.0 authentication.
You must create a client app in your Xero deployment for Alteryx Analytics Cloud (AAC) to use. For more information, go to OAuth 2.0 for Xero.
AACAAC creates an OAuth 2.0 web client for you.
You can't create OAuth 2.0 connections via API.
API rate limiting might apply to your use of the connection. For more information, go to https://developer.xero.com/documentation/guides/oauth1/xero-api-limits/#api-rate-limits.
