I am connecting to a netzezza database using ODBC. I have worked on this tiny bit of code for a few days and I keep getting an error:
DBD::ODBC::st execute failed: ERROR: Cross Database Access not supported for this type of command (SQL-HY000) at line 20.

Line 20 is $sth-> execute(). I am not crossing databases so I don't understand what is causing this error. I can replace the update statement with a select, and the program runs correctly.

This is the code:

use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI;
use DBD::ODBC;

DBI->trace(0);
my $dbh = DBI-> connect('dbi:ODBC:system', 'user', 'pwd') or die "Couldn't connect to database: " . DBI->errstr;

my $stmt= "update db_name.user.table_name set column_name= 8 where column_name2 like 'someValue'";
#my $stmt= "select column_name1, column_name2 from db_name.user.table_name where column_name2 like 'anotherValue'";

my $sth;
$sth = $dbh->prepare($stmt) or die "Couldn't prepare statement:". $dbh->errstr;
$sth-> execute() #Execute the query or die "Couldn't execute statement:".$dbh->errstr;
$sth->finish();
$dbh->disconnect;
use DBI;
