Why does ' datetime ' format not work with the Rising Column value in DB Connect V3?

I collected DB data by selecting it as a ' datetime ' format column, such as SERVERTIME, in DB connect v2 as the Rising Column.
However, in DB Connect v3, it is normally queried in the data preview, but eventually no data is imported from the DB.
Why is this?

My sql query is
SELECT *
FROM "avdb"."dbo"."avvirusalertlog"
WHERE SERVERTIME > ?
ORDER BY SERVERTIME ASC

Please help me.
Thank you.

I had similar issue before, I made it work by converting date to EPOCH in SQL and follow this incremental number from DB connect to continuously index from table.

Assuming we have 3 fields, Datetime, ID and some value, and DBConnect doesn't want work with ID for some reason, then :

SELECT cast(DATEDIFF(s, '1970-01-01 00:00:00.000', Datetime ) as bigint) as MyNewID,
ID,
Datetime,
Some Value
where <some conditions>

then Try MyNewID instead of ID in DB Connect.

Nothing there looks wrong. What does your db_inputs.conf look like?
