exception verticapy.errors.MissingRelation#

An exception raised when attempting to access or perform an operation on a relational data structure that is missing or not available. This error typically signifies the absence of the required dataset or data structure needed for the intended operation.

Examples#

The following function checks for the existence of the input relation and raises an error if it does not exist.

from verticapy._utils._sql._sys import _executeSQL
from verticapy.errors import MissingRelation

def does_table_exists(table_name: str):

    query = f"SELECT * FROM columns WHERE table_name = '{table_name}';"
    result = _executeSQL(query, method="fetchall")
    assert result, MissingRelation(
        f"The relation '{table_name}' does not exist."
    )

Note

Errors can be employed when implementing new functions to provide clear explanations for why a particular option or feature is not functioning as intended. It is essential to review all available errors to choose the most appropriate one.
