  • There is an issue with the "Import Excel to Database" smart service.
    Getting this error - "???Unknown column '' in 'field list'???"
    The issue is occurring if I dont pass "New Columns" and "New Columns Values". If nothing is passed then it forms the insert statement with '' blank column name which causes this error.
    Once I passed a column name into the "New Columns" and a value to "New Columns Values", it worked.
    Example insert statement which gives the exact error in mysql: 

    INSERT INTO `TEST_EXCEL1`(`numberColumn`, `textColumn`, ``) VALUES ("111","333","")
MySQL said: 
#1054 - Unknown column '' in 'field list'

    Please look into this and fix it.
