Output as follows: CURRENT: catalog_name ------------ stock (1 row) ------- BEGIN FIND row 0(/0) returned row 0 (unchanged) Suggest update data into table '_schemata': [catalog_name => stock] CURRENT: catalog_name | schema_name | schema_owner | schema_internal -------------+-------------+--------------+---------------- (0 rows) NEW for table _schemata: catalog_name | schema_name | schema_owner | case -------------+-------------+--------------+----- (0 rows) wrapped as: catalog_name | schema_name | schema_owner | case -------------+-------------+--------------+----- (0 rows) ------- COMMIT This does not look healthy as all is empty. Should this list something from the current Meta Store?
