Data 360: Query Editor may occasionally return different results compared to a Calculated Insight SQL expression

Julkaisupäivä: Nov 17, 2025
Kuvaus

Some customers may not see their intended results when executing a SQL expression in a Calculated Insight and then turn to Query Editor to either validate or adjust their query. There may be rare occurrences when an identical (or nearly identical) query returns differing results between the two. This is due to the features using two different SQL engines to execute queries.

Query Editor uses a SQL engine, which is more optimized for ad-hoc queries and can execute them faster due to efficiencies in how it uses memory and/or computing power. On the other hand, Calculated Insights use a SQL engine, which is better suited to distributed data and distributed computing.

Because two different SQL engines are being used, you may notice that some functions are supported in one environment but not the other. You may also notice that some functions which work in both environments may demonstrate slightly different behaviors.

 

Ratkaisu

Example 1: A customer is writing a query to produce a rank or order for a set of rows and intends to select the lowest, or first, result. They then use a FIRST function in the Calculated Insight only to discover that this is not supported in Query Editor and must use a MIN function (along with a potential rewrite of the query) in order to perform their test.

Example 2: A customer has imported data where some fields may contain extraneous, invisible characters and need to remove them. They may test an RTRIM in Query Editor to see that it works, but see different results in Calculated Insights. This can happen if the extraneous character is not a space but rather a tab. The difference is due to the Query Editor's SQL engine removing both spaces and tabs, while the Calculated Insight's SQL engine only removes spaces.
