Subsetting treatment troubleshooting
Published 27 November 2025
Troubleshooting
"No foreign keys found"
- Your source database lacks foreign key constraints
- Solution: Define manual relationships in advanced configuration, or work with your DBA to add foreign keys
"Target database schema doesn't match source"
- The target database has a different schema than the source
- Solution: Ensure the target database has the same table structure as the source (see Create an empty target database)
Subset is larger/smaller than expected
- Desired size subsetting uses statistical sampling
- Solution: Adjust the desired size percentage or use starting tables for more precise control
Filter clause errors
- Invalid SQL syntax in your filter clause
- Solution: Review the filter clause syntax and test it directly against your database
