Need to update a value into SQL table via Splunk dashboard

Query to INSERT a value into SQL table:

| dboutput type=insert database=MyDatabase table=MyTable notFound=insert fields=ColumnName as ColumnValue

| dboutput type=insert database=MyDatabase table=MyTable notFound=insert ColumnName1 as ColumnValue1 CoulmnName2 as CoulumnValue2

Received Error :

command="dboutput", com.splunk.util.csv.CSVException: No CSV input



Tried the above 2 queries , but getting the same Error Message for both

I have already made the database.conf settings. Have set the readonly permission to 'False'

What is the mistake i am making here, am i using the correct format for dboutput query ?

Kindly help.

Here is an actual search command I used and validated it worked:

index=main eventtype="wineventlog-security" | table event_id, EventCode | dboutput database=MSSQLSERVER type=sql "INSERT INTO processes (windows_event_id, windows_event_code) VALUES ($event_id$, $EventCode$)"

Hope it helps.
