The following error may occur when creating databases and tables that use S3 storage location.

CREATE DATABASE TPG_DATALAKE_MIXED_ABENCH.MIXED_ABENCH;
 *** Error 7825 in UDF/XSP/UDM TD_OTFDB.ICEBERG_EXPORT: SQLSTATE 38001: [T

To resolve this, make sure the S3 bucket naming conventions are followed: Bucket naming rules - Amazon Simple Storage Service. For example, the following bucket names are not valid:

  • example_bucket (contains underscores)
  • ExampleBucket (contains uppercase letters)
  • s3-demo-bucket- (ends with a hyphen)

In general, users must adhere to the naming convention for S3 Buckets.
