Hi

I am using open command option in teradata enterprise stage for deleting data from a table for specific dates prior to insert.
But i am getting an error message :

Unrecognized argument: <database_name>.<table_name>

i am hardcoding the databasename and tablename but still same job aborts with same error.

Have anyone gone thru such kind of a error.

Thanks

Perhaps you should post your syntax?

When you import the table definition do the database name and table name work properly?

Is it expecting the owner name rather than the database name in this syntax? It's more usual to connect to the database, then specify owner.table (or schema.table, if you prefer) as the object being accessed.
