Hi All,

When i try to query on multiple indexes it throws me a Verification Exception. The single index works fine for me.

Any idea on how to query over multiple indexes in sql query.

**Working one :**

POST \_xpack/sql?format=txt  
{  
"query" : "SELECT count(\*) AS count FROM "logstash-texas-esb-2019.05.11" WHERE MATCH ('message','LAPC%') AND MATCH ('message','cif%') AND MATCH('message','Success%')"  
}

**Response :**

```
 count     

```

* * *

10

**Error Case :**

POST \_xpack/sql?format=txt  
{  
"query" : "SELECT count(_) AS count FROM "logstash-texas-esb-2019.05._" WHERE MATCH ('message','LAPC%') AND MATCH ('message','cif%') AND MATCH('message','Success%')"  
}

**Error Response :**

{  
"error": {  
"root\_cause": [  
{  
"type": "verification\_exception",  
"reason": "Found 1 problem(s)\nline 1:32: [logstash-texas-esb-2019.05._] points to indices [logstash-texas-esb-2019.05.10] and [logstash-texas-esb-2019.05.20] which have different mappings. When using multiple indices, the mappings must be identical."  
}  
],  
"type": "verification\_exception",  
"reason": "Found 1 problem(s)\nline 1:32: [logstash-texas-esb-2019.05._] points to indices [logstash-texas-esb-2019.05.10] and [logstash-texas-esb-2019.05.20] which have different mappings. When using multiple indices, the mappings must be identical."  
},  
"status": 400  
}
