Unknown table name:PERSON

Question

Hi,
I created a table in dbmcli :
C:\>dbmcli.exe -d MAXDB2 -u DBADMIN,pwd  -c sql_execute CREATE TABLE person (pno       FIXED(6),  name      CHAR(20),  city
  CHAR(20))
OK
C:\>dbmcli.exe -d MAXDB2 -u DBADMIN,pwd  -c sql_execute select count(*) from person
OK
END
0
But when query in SQL STUDIO, I receive :
--- Error -
Auto Commit: On, SQL Mode: Internal, Isolation Level: Committed
Base table not found;-4004 POS(23) Unknown table name:PERSON
select count( *) from person
What is wrong ?
Thank you.

Hi BIG136,
if you run a command like
dbmcli -u dbadmin,<pw> -d <db name> -c sql_execute <any command>
the command is executed as user dbm. This is the reason why you do not see the table in SQL Studio as dbadmin. Run instead
dbmcli -u dbadmin,<pw> -d <db name> -uSQL dbadmin,<pw> -c sql_execute <any command>
and the table will be also found in SQL Studio as user dbadmin. To execute an SQL command with dbmcli you normally first open a session, execute the command and then release the session. Because this is hardly possible with a single command line you should use -uSQL option which does all this for you at once.
