Hi,  
I’d like to plot data from a SQL Server database table in an Easy Chart. I use a Database Pen for that.  
The table is in a schema of its own named logs. The pen editor can see the table and the Run diagnostics validates my pen configuration correctly:

But as soon as the Easy Chart component gets running, I get the following error:

It seems that Ignition forgets that my table is not in the dbo default schema, hence the wrong query SELECT … FROM tbl\_AuxHistory instead of FROM logs.tbl\_AuxHistory .  
Any suggestions, other then transfering the table in the default schema?

Thank you in advance,  
regards

Have you tried adding the ‘logs.’ in the table name field without using the drop-down?
