    Hi
     
    You are not getting a SQL error, you are getting an error in the Concat action (which is what it says).
     
    Without even looking further you use substring and sub which are not the same, you need to fix that. Then see if your stuff works.
     
    Also, since its the Substring, it would really be helpful to paste the expression, not just a picture, because then we have to type it all out.

    Sorry for not adding these.  
    I'm totally lost how to fix this concat issue.  Can you please guide me.
     
    Compose:
    INSERT INTO test(FirstName,LastName,BirthDate,Salary,Gender,Department,JobTitle) VALUES 
     
    Compose 2: 
    concat('(', '''', item()?['FirstName'], '''', ',', '''',item()?['LastName'], '''', ',', '''',item()?['BirthDate'], '''', ',', item()?['Salary'],',', '''',item()?['Gender'], '''', ',', '''',item()?['Department'], '''', ',', '''',item()?['JobTitle'], '''','),')
     
    Compose 4:
    concat(outputs('Compose'), substring(join(variables('ArrayVar'), ','), 0, sub(length(join(variables('ArrayVar'), ',')), 1)), ';')
     
    NOTE:  Salary is decimal(18,2).
