Hello,
I am trying to create a native query with UNION statement inside. Database is MySQL 5.7.25.
This query works:
SELECT column1 FROM table1
UNION
SELECT column2 FROM table2;
However same query with WHERE conditions gives “Sorry, you don’t have permission to see that” error:
SELECT column1 FROM table1 WHERE column1=“column1”
UNION
SELECT column2 FROM table2 WHERE column2=“column2”;
Is there any way, I could UNION 2 different queries with WHERE conditions, using Metabase native query?
Hi @natalya
Please post “Diagnostic Info” from Admin > Troubleshooting.
And check the log for more details - Admin > Troubleshooting > Logs.
I cannot reproduce on 0.36.2 with MySQL 5.7

As for the log, there are just these 2 lines in the log:

@natalya So I guess that Google has removed that functionality from their version of MySQL. I cannot reproduce with 0.36.2 on regular MySQL 5.7
