DBD: Design process may still be executing in the background

[fsalvelt]

Hi,

I am trying to run DBD but keep getting this error:

----- DBD Output Start ---------------------------
Database Designer started.

For large databases a design session could take a long time; allow it to complete uninterrupted.
Use Ctrl+C if you must cancel the session.

Setting up design session...

Unknown error while running Database Designer.
Design process may still be executing in the background.


Designer did not run successfully
Unknown error while running Database Designer.
Design process may still be executing in the background.

Press <Enter> to return to the Administration Tools menu.
----- DBD Output End ---------------------------

There isn't a session in the sessions table that would indicate that DBD is running

You may need to open a ticket with Vertica if you're trying to do a table level design and you receive this error. This has happened to me before and it was a known issue; specifically if you're using a table that's functionally dependent somewhere.

Otherwise, you can read my blog post on how to clear your designer workspace.
