SaveMode.Overwrite for string datatype

Shalaka

Hello,

In the SaveMode.Overwrite option for writing to a Vertica databse using scala , I am able to successfully write integer values, However , when I attempt to string values to the table in Vertica I get
java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: [Vertica]VJDBC ERROR: Type "TEXT" does not exist.

Pasted below is the code for writing an integer value to the Vertica table.
After that I have pasted the code for writing a character value to the Vertica table with the error message .

%spark
//Writing the Herirachy to Vertica table

import com.vertica.spark._
import org.apache.spark.sql.{DataFrame, Row, SQLContext, SaveMode}
import org.apache.spark.sql.types._

val resDF=spark.read.parquet("hdfs:/prod/11323/app/H9A0/data/DW00/DDWV21R/CC_HIER_CURR")
resDF.printSchema()

val newres = resDF.selectExpr("CM_EMP_ID")

val url = "jdbc:vertica://guerlpa16em02.fg.rbc.com:5433/eim_pe_vertica"
val prop = new java.util.Properties
prop.setProperty("user","321467367")
prop.setProperty("password","xxxxxx")

newres.write.mode(SaveMode.Overwrite).jdbc(url,"S_H9A0_AC.deleteMe",prop)

Log:

Now here is the same code trying to write a string value to the table

create table S_H9A0_AC.deleteMe (
-- CM_EMP_ID integer);
CM_EMP_FULL_NM varchar);

%spark
//Writing the Herirachy to Vertica table . Able to write an integer value but not a string value: CM_EMP_FULL_NM

import com.vertica.spark._
import org.apache.spark.sql.{DataFrame, Row, SQLContext, SaveMode}
import org.apache.spark.sql.types._

val resDF=spark.read.parquet("hdfs:/prod/11323/app/H9A0/data/DW00/DDWV21R/CC_HIER_CURR")
resDF.printSchema()

val newres = resDF.selectExpr("CM_EMP_FULL_NM")

val url = "jdbc:vertica://guerlpa16em02.fg.rbc.com:5433/eim_pe_vertica"
val prop = new java.util.Properties
prop.setProperty("user","321467367")
prop.setProperty("password","xxxxxx")

newres.write.mode(SaveMode.Overwrite).jdbc(url,"S_H9A0_AC.deleteMe",prop)
