How to use DB Connect Lookup

I have created a DBConnect Lookup for a SQL Database connection. However, I am unable to get it to work correctly in my search. Any help would be appreciated.

DBConnect
Field = Card_Number Column=Account_Number

Output
Columns New Output Field
First_Name customer_first_name

Search string that is not working
index=transactions CARD_NUMBER=* |eval CARD_NUMBER = "APR00" + CARD_NUMBER | lookup db_connect_Credit_Card Account_Number as CARD_NUMBER OUTPUT First_Name as customer_first_name

do you have db connect v1 or v2? if you are on v2, I think it is OUTPUTNEW instead of OUTPUT.
