I am trying to delete 1 record and I have run into some problem. When trying to delete a record in the Spending dataset where the order no is = 2021_6734. According to the documentation the query should look something like this to delete the facts:
https://help.gooddata.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=86796761

 

DELETE FROM {attr.spending.factsof} WHERE {attr.spending.no} = "2021_6734";


When I am running the delete statement I am getting the following error: 

"error" : {

"component" : "DJG",

"errorClass" : "GDC::Exception::User",

"message" : "Object \"%s\" doesn't exist.",

"parameters" : [

"attr.spending.factsof"

],

"requestId" : "hjUDGKYxIf3OuhS:7txqnamxk997mgy0"

}

}

 

Which object does not exist? I am not sure what the issue is there?

Hi Samantha,

thanks for reaching out, we'll be happy to help with this.

From our logs, we can see the same error as you have reported:

exception_msg="Object \"attr.spending.factsof\" doesn't exist." project="byanfpis31ycd38qpyer1yg3cy8ng5ne" auth_user="4783ncv55abe88e3b87c32a48c06d4" request_id=hjUDGKYxIf3OuhS:7txqnamxk997mgy0

As the errors states, you're trying to delete records from an object that doesn't exist: attr.spending.factsof

Please refer to the following article that will help you find the correct object identifier:

Hi Michael,

I have the same problem as Samantha, I find the identifiers through Gray Pages so it have to work (I have an Admin role) But it doesn't help. I need to delete some data from the dataset by date (old data)  used the condition

``` DELETE FROM {attr._identifier of the dataset_.factsof} WHERE {_identifier of the date dataset_.date.yyyymmdd} between "2021-11-01" AND "2021-11-30";``` 

 

Please can you help me with it?

 

With respect,

Daria

I found the solve for my issue. In this table we have a PK jsou we don't have any factsof attribute. So I used a  ID attribute and  it was solved.
