Tabular model with Direct Query issue

Question

Hi,
i am creating a tabular model - Direct Query option. I am using a kind of below query to import data,
Declare @TEST as Table (TestID int, TestName varchar(20))
Insert into @TEST
Select 1, 'TEst1' Union
Select 2, 'TEst2'
Select * from @TEST
But the Import fails with an error similar to below,
OLE DB or ODBC error.  An error occurred while processing the partition 'Query_``````````' in table 'Query_````````'.  The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.
Any idea, why it is failing ? or is it like we shouldn't use declare statement in the Query area ?
Please reply ...Thanks in advance !

I'm pretty sure that the query would have to be a single statement so the declare statement would be causing issues.
So just doing this as a single union query should work:
Select 1 as TestID, 'TEst1' as TestName Union
Select 2, 'TEst2'
