Hello Everyone!

New to Glide but experience with no code tools like it. I am working on a project where with a button I am updating one of the columns in a row. The column is named ‘case status’ when the button is clicked the status is changed to ‘Open’

Here is my action:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/0/902f6dde008ca5600c559a35c7c87d8f9f92282f.png)

Currently the button is in a button block but I have tried out of the block and am experiencing the same issue.

The data source is NOT a Glide table but a PostgreSQL database. In the editor the button works without issue but in the published application I am getting an error message with no explanation or idea of how to figure out what the error actually is. Here is what the error message looks like:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/4/a4668656af1825e66b37c4991d6e51842d40b071.png)

Big thanks to everyone in advance!

Not sure why this would happen. Is your SQL table a read-and-write table, or a query table?

Thanks for the reply @ThinhDinh !

This was my initial thought. I checked the permissions of the users at the database level and it has access to every function as shown below:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/4/d457b37e9dbc09de2bf5db39272355997575f34d.png)

I understand if the permissions I would not be able to update rows in the builder either but in this case I can ONLY update the rows in the editor and not the shared app.

I was referring more to how you construct your table in Glide.

> **[SQL Server | Glide Docs](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/sql-server)**
>
> Connect to your SQL Server and build database-grade apps and tools.

You can check the two sections: “Creating a read-and-write table” and “Creating a read-only table with a query”.

Oh yes! The table is a Read-and-Write table.

Then I’m not sure what can cause the error. Maybe you can try submitting a ticket.

Thank you again!  
Submitted a ticket yesterday, waiting to hear back. Did it through the portal! It’s a business team.

If anyone in the community has a line on the Glide support team please let me know.  
If the platform can not properly support DB connections I would like to know this before it’s too late into my billing cycle for the Business plan.

Thanks!

I’m having a similar experience. I can’t add a row manually from the data editor and I can’t add a row from an action.

This certainly seems like a glitch or bug.  
I spun up a different DB and connected it and had the same result. I also know that there is no issue with permissions on the DB side because I can perform all DB activities from other tools.

Did you reach out to support, if yes, any luck?

I will keep this thread posted for updates if i don’t cancel the membership and move to Retool…

It seems that support just isn’t really there.
