SAS to Athena connection - create table in athena

[PRAVIN_JAIN]

I am connecting to Athena through SAS, connection is working and I am able to fetch the data as well into SAS.

After manipulation in SAS, i need to upload result dataset into AWS where i am getting an error as below - 

Working libname connection :

libname athtst clear;
%let schema_core="test_db";

libname athtst jdbc schema=&schema_core
driverclass="com.simba.athena.jdbc.Driver"
url=<>;Schema=<>;Workgroup=<>;GlueEndpointOverride=<>;EndpointOverride=<>;AwsCredentialsProviderClass=<>;"
user=<> password="&pass."
classpath="/sas/Software/jdbcdrivers/xx_athena_looker.jar" schema=&schema_core.;

Code - 

proc sql;
create table athtst.test_out as
select * from test_in;
quit;

Error - 

ERROR: Error attempting to CREATE a DBMS table. ERROR: Execute error: [Simba][AthenaJDBC](100071) An error has been thrown from the
AWS Athena client. No location was specified for table. An S3 location must be specified [Execution ID not available].

I have tried multiple option providing S3 location in above create table statement however its not working. Looking for some guidance on this.

Hi,

There are an odd number of quotes (9) in the code:

libname athtst clear;
%let schema_core="test_db";

libname athtst jdbc schema=&schema_core
driverclass="com.simba.athena.jdbc.Driver"
url=<>;Schema=<>;Workgroup=<>;GlueEndpointOverride=<>;EndpointOverride=<>;AwsCredentialsProviderClass=<>;"
user=<> password="&pass."
classpath="/sas/Software/jdbcdrivers/xx_athena_looker.jar" schema=&schema_core.;

Does the log show any messages regarding this?

Thanks & kind regards,

Amir.

Thanks for response.

Given libname statement is just a sample, I have removed some info from actual statement hence it may have unbalanced quotes. Libname statement is running fine.

Below code works fine if I use source as athena table as source however I get error if I use SAS work table as source.

Success -

proc sql;
create table athtst.test_out as
select * from athtst.test_in;
quit;

Error - 

proc sql;
create table athtst.test_out as
select * from test_in;
quit;

My requirement is to upload SAS dataset into Athena.

What happens if you run below code?

options sastrace=',,,d' sastraceloc=saslog nostsuffix msglevel=i;
proc append base=athtst.test_out data=work.test_in nowarn force;
run;quit;

If this doesn't work please share the SAS log.
