Does Tableau automatically generate the DML or is it user generated? Is the table used for multiple sessions or only for a single session? Does other session create the same/similar tables for use?
As Kunal mentioned temporary tables may the way to go. --Andries On 12/17/17, 9:36 AM, "Kunal Khatua" <kkha...@mapr.com> wrote: It looks like your system is trying to create the attributes table concurrently. Based on the name of the table, my hunch is that your workflow(s) is/are trying to generate tables with the same name (attributes) for use in reporting. The suggested way to work around this is to use a naming convention that hints to the report(s) that will leverage the tables. So, instead of 2 or more reports trying to create the same 'attributes' table, how about you try something like .. 'attr_report1' .. 'attr_report2' , etc. ? Also, if these tables are transient in nature, you can consider using the 'create temp table as ...' SQL. This will create temporary tables with the lifespan of the connection you're working on. The moment you close that connection, Drill will clean up. So, if you have multiple connections trying to create a temporary 'attributes' table, they will all be isolated. Hope that helps. Let us know how else you are using Drill.

At the moment we have several visualizations we have published, but we are running in an issue each morning where some of them are not updating according to our schedules, and when we review the logs we find some the same type of "fatal" errors that do not always allow the visualizations to update. I have reached out to our account rep through Tableau for possible guidance, however, you might be a more appropriate resource; any help you could provide would be appreciated, I have not been able to find much via the internets. Below is a sample of the error codes we are seeing, please let me know you are able to assist or if you need any additional information. Thank you!
