I am using Teradata SQLA 14.01 and want to use the OTRANSLATE function, but it is not working. I have checked the DBC.FunctionsV table to ensure that the function is defined in the system, which it is. However, even when I use the sample code;
SELECT OTRANSLATE('TD13.0 is the current database version','3', '4');
I am faced with a 3706 error:
Syntax error: expected something between '(' and the string 'T'
keyword.
All help will be greatly appreciated!!

I have the following task in my DAG:
create_features_table = PostgresOperator(
task_id="create_features_table",
postgres_conn_id="featuredb",
sql="src/test.sql "
)
But when I test the task, I get this error:
psycopg2.errors.SyntaxError: syntax error at or near "src"
LINE 1: src/test.sql
The content of the test.sql script is:
CREATE TABLE test(
C1 int,
C2 int,
);
I can't point out the error in the syntax, but that's because it is my first DAG. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If I run the script directly from the postgres container's psql using "\i src/text.sql" it works fine.
I have tested the connection from the airflow web server and the connection works.
I found that I had to put a space before closing the quotes to avoid a jinja2.exeptions.TemplateNotFound error, but haven't been able to find the syntax error.
According to documentation (https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow-providers-postgres/stable/_api/airflow/providers/postgres/operators/postgres/index.html#airflow.providers.postgres.operators.postgres.PostgresOperator)
if you are defining your sql script path, it must ends with .sql
You have a white space in your path in the end so Operatort things it’s a query to be executed on your postgre, not file with query. You can see it in the response from postgre. Run this query on your postgre instance src/test.sql and you will get the same syntax error.
You can fix it easily by removing that white space
sql="src/test.sql"
I have to create an SQR that generates a list of EEIDs, if there were any changes to the Pension data in the past day. The SQR compiles and works perfectly when I hardcode in the table names.
However, when I tried using variables for the table names, I get a compile error
I've pasted the portion of SQR that I'm trying to fix
When I start using $tableName and $auditTableName as table variables, that's when I get the error and I'm not sure what is going wrong
Can anyone help?
Please and Thank You

Edit:
does the UNION have anything to do with this?
I keep receiving is this error:
(SQR 5528) ODBC SQL dbdesc: SQLNumResultCols error 102 in cursor 1:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near 'FROM'.
(SQR 5528) ODBC SQL dbdesc: SQLNumResultCols error 8180 in cursor 1:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Statement(s) could not be prepared.
Edit2:
Ok, initial problem solved with [$dummy-dyn-variable], which led to the next problem with the DO command. I've updated the code above with DO someProcName(param_a, param_b)
I am now getting an error saying:
(SQR 2002) DO arguments do not match procedure's
Weird part, if I remove the dynamic table variables and hardcode the table names in the FROM section, then it compiles properly without errors. This makes me believe that the error is not related to my someProcName (maybe?)
am I missing something here?
If I try this query:
select * FROM sphinx.products where `query` = "test";
it works. But if I try to give it weights it returns an error:
select * FROM sphinx.products where `query` = "test;sort=extended:#weight DESC;weights=3,1,1,1";
Fails with error:
Error in query (1430): There was a problem processing the query on the foreign data source.
Data source error: searchd error: invalid deprecated unordered_weight count 4 (expe
(Error reported by MariaDB gets truncated there, but I believe it says "expecting 0")
And:
select * FROM sphinx.products where `query` = "test;sort=extended:#weight DESC";
Fails with error:
Error in query (1430): There was a problem processing the query on the foreign data source.
Data source error: searchd error: index 'sku_products': sort-by attribute '#weight'
(Again, error returned by SphinxSearch gets truncated by MariaDB)
All the documentation I find about SphinxSE tells me to query the index this way, yet it does not work, but nobody in the Internet seem to have met this error since nobody is asking about this anywhere...
Am I doing something wrong?
Well, the option weights= didn't work, but it accepted fieldweights=sku,90,partnumber,30,barcode,20,name,10.
(I.e., fieldweights=<field1_name>,<field1_weight>,...)
Results came ordered by weight even without specifying sort=extended:#weight DESC, so I dodged both errors and got what I needed.
Hope this helps anyone in the same situation.
I'm trying to connect to the multiple databases and create tables, but when migrating flyway gets syntax error.
This is the migration file I'm trying to run:
\c testdatabase;
CREATE TABLE testtable1;
\c testdatabase2;
CREATE TABLE testtable2;
Flyway gives this output:
Error Code : 0
Message : ERROR: syntax error at or near "\"
Position: 1
Line : 1
Statement : \c testdatabase
It seems like flyway does not support meta-commands like "\c" for connecting to the database. Is there any other way to do connect to the databases and create a table?
The error comes (as indicated in the error input) from the comment lines preceding your two SQL statements in the script: \c testdatabase; which are not valid SQL syntax for comments.
You could simply correct those faulty lines like the following: -- testdatabase, and generally, the error input already gives you a hint as to where lies the problem.
