SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Problem Note 65914: The error "Driver does not support this optional feature" is generated after you try to insert or append data to a Databricks table
 |  |  |  |  |
When you use SAS/ACCESS® Interface to JDBC to work with Databricks tables, you might see errors that are similar to the following:
ERROR: Error allocating statement handle: java.sql.SQLFeatureNotSupportedException:
[Simba][JDBC](10220) Driver does not support this optional feature.
[Simba][JDBC](10220) Driver does not support this optional feature.
ERROR: Prepare error: [Simba][SparkJDBCDriver](500051) ERROR processing query/statement. Error
Code: 0, SQL state: Error running query: org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: Table or
view not found: 'schema'.'table-name'; line 1 pos 14;
SQL statement: SELECT * FROM 'schema'.'table-name'
Code: 0, SQL state: Error running query: org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: Table or
view not found: 'schema'.'table-name'; line 1 pos 14;
SQL statement: SELECT * FROM 'schema'.'table-name'
The errors occur after you try to use the SQL procedure or the APPEND procedure to update an existing Databricks table with code similar to the following:
proc sql;
insert into libref.existing-table select * from SAS-table;
quit ;
proc append base=libref.existing-table data=SAS-table;
run;
insert into libref.existing-table select * from SAS-table;
quit ;
proc append base=libref.existing-table data=SAS-table;
run;
PROC APPEND also generates the second error message above when you attempt to create a Databricks table with code similar to this:
proc append base=libref.new-table data=SAS-table;
run;
run;
The only workaround is to drop the table and then re-create it in one step by using either a DATA step or PROC SQL. The following example shows a PROC SQL step that re-creates the table in one step:
proc sql;
create table libref.new-table as select * from SAS-table;
quit;
create table libref.new-table as select * from SAS-table;
quit;
