View creation failure scenarios during asynchronous operations
The following examples are representative of the types of errors that may result from CreateTable
or UpdateTable view API calls. They are not exhaustive as the error surface of SQL query
failures is quite large.
Scenario 1: Amazon Redshift query failure
The query provided for Amazon Redshift includes a misspelled table name can't be found
in the Data Catalog during the validation. The resulting error is shown in
the Status field in the GetTable response for the view.
GetTable request:

Scenario 2: Invalid Amazon Redshift connection
The Amazon Redshift connection in the following example is malformed because it refers to a Amazon Redshift database that doesn't exist in the provided cluster/serverless endpoint.
Amazon Redshift is not able to validate the view and the Status field in the GetTable response shows the error ("State": "FAILED" from Amazon Redshift.

Scenario 3: Athena query failure
The SQL for Athena here is invalid because the query misspells the database name. The Athena query validation catches this and the resulting error is surfaced through the Status object in a GetTable call.

Scenario 4: Mismatch storage descriptors
The SQL provided for the Athena dialect selects col1 and col2 while the SQL for Redshift selects only col1. This leads to a storage descriptor mismatch error.
