It is failing with an error that is not very descriptive when a query like SELECT \* FROM sys\_connection\_hierarchy is executed in Python ![5e5a0169-d029-427e-aae5-1b74dbd06c64.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cdata/original/1X/1f41de7b9a37c871cf5158f50cb0a75f599b20d9.png) The same query works fine in JDBC. Can you please advise? ---

This system table is an internal CData table and there is not much information available for this to the public. That said, is there a reason why you need to query the _sys\_connection\_hierarchy_ system table? Are you using it for retrieving connection information? If that is what you are looking for, note that you can also make use of the _sys\_connection\_props_ table. On a side note, a similar issue is reproducible on our end so a ticket has been opened with the development team. Thank you for reporting this. You will be notified as soon as there is an update. ---
