67782 - The error "...ROLLBACK...Table...does not exist" occurs in SAS/ACCESS® Interface to Vertica when you try to drop a Vertica view

Problem Note 67782: The error "...ROLLBACK...Table...does not exist" occurs in SAS/ACCESS® Interface to Vertica when you try to drop a Vertica view

When you use SAS/ACCESS Interface to Vertica with a DROP VIEW statement, the Vertica engine attempts to drop a table instead.

When you encounter this issue, you receive an error similar to the following:

ERROR: CLI execute error: ROLLBACK 4876:  Table "view-name" does not exist

The workaround is to use an explicit SQL query to drop the view. Here is a syntax example:

proc sql ;

   connect to vertica  as dbcon (connection-options) ;

   execute (drop view view-name)  by dbcon;

quit ;
