The connector automatically detects field types based on your data:
Data Type | Looker Studio Type | Notes |
---|---|---|
Numeric values | NUMBER | Automatically set as metrics |
Strings | TEXT | Set as dimensions |
Date strings (YYYY-MM-DD) | YEAR_MONTH_DAY | Properly formatted for time series |
Timestamps | YEAR_MONTH_DAY_SECOND | Full datetime support |
Booleans | BOOLEAN | Supports true/false filtering |
For optimal performance with the connector:
Example optimized query:
The connector supports Looker Studio’s filter controls. You can add filter widgets to your dashboard that will dynamically modify your SQL query.
For optimal performance, only use filters on dimensions (not metrics) and limit the number of filter controls to 3-5 per dashboard.
Issue | Solution |
---|---|
Authentication failed | Double-check your DB Session Key format |
Query failed | Verify your SQL syntax and table names |
No data returned | Check that your query returns data in the Worksheets section |
Date formatting issues | Ensure dates are in standard ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD) |
Slow performance | Add LIMIT clauses and optimize your query |
