Cannot drop Netezza table

I am trying to have Alteryx drop a table after the workflow is done.  If I run the following code in Aginity, it works fine:

DROP TABLE TEST.TEST.TEST_TABLE

 

I have tried putting that code in the "Post-SQL", and while the workflow runs without errors, it doesn't actually drop the table.  I am using the same credentials in both software platforms.  I've also tried using the "Connect In-DB" tool and used that as the only SQL, and there too it runs without errors, but fails to actually drop the table. 

 

Any suggestions?  I feel it's something basic that I'm overlooking, but I can't seem to figure it out.


Thank you in advance!

Which DB connection you're using? SQL Server, Oracle, Teradata...?

Netezza.  I can drop the table in Aginity no problem, so that confirms it's not a credential/permissions issue. 

 

I gotta believe it's something small that I'm not doing.

Sorry, I didn't realize you had mentioned that in your topic title.

 

Your dropping the same table on Aginity? 

It's weird because you said there's no error, although there's also no action, maybe you have the AutoConfigure option off.

 

Under Options ->User Settings ->Edit User Settings, there is an option in the "Advanced" tab called "Disable Auto Configure".  If you check that off it will prevent your PRESQL or POSTSQL from running, so that maybe the cause of nothing happening.

 

Check that and let me know, please.

That box is not checked (it wasn't before).  In case it matters, none of the boxes on the Advanced tab were checked.

@Sanny651 last shot

 

Try DROP TABLE TSANDBER_001_AR_INVOICE_INSURANCE_DATA;

 

With no schema at all.
