"Something went wrong, please try again later." On Sync tables for PostgreSQL

Etyr — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 11:12:26 GMT

I'm using the Sync feature to load up a Snowflake view from a catalog to postgreSQL (to expose data to API's for faster response times).

I'm been playing around scripting the creation of the sync. And when I create + delete and recreate the same sync/pipeline with same name and DB, I get this error when trying to access to the sync table in my catalog.

The pipelines are in success, the data is accessible on PostgreSQL. But i have this "display" error. It only happens when I delete a synced table (+ delete in postgre + pipeline) and recreate it with the same name/information. Changing the db or table name won't give me this issue.

Hi @Etyr ,

This is interesting, I think you are encountering a situation where recreating a synced table with the same name leaves the UC UI with cached or stale metadata for the prior table object, even though the new pipeline and Postgres table are fine.

To avoid this, can you try the following: after recreating, force a catalog refresh in the UI (attach a running SQL warehouse and click “Refresh catalog”), or hard-refresh your browser. This helps the UI invalidate cached metadata for the prior object and pick up the new one.

Thank you for your response @stbjelcevic ,

So tried to refreh the catalog and the schema when the table was deleted in Postgre + unity catalog (the sync one) and removed the pipeline:

from databricks.sdk import WorkspaceClient from databricks.sdk.service.database import ( NewPipelineSpec, SyncedDatabaseTable, SyncedTableSchedulingPolicy, SyncedTableSpec, ) from my_project.data_accessor import data_handler from my_project.settings import settings # Databricks workspace client (host anonymised) w = WorkspaceClient( host="https://adb-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.azuredatabricks.net/", auth_type="azure-cli", ) # Environments anonymised env = "dev" read_env = "prod" settings.subscription_env = env # Primary key definitions (table names anonymised as examples) datas = { "table_asset_xref": [ "ID", "CONTEXT_ID", "ASSET_ID", "ASSET_TYPE", ], } for table_name, pk_columns in datas.items(): # Refresh foreign catalog/schema names anonymised data_handler.fetch_all( f"REFRESH FOREIGN CATALOG catalog_project_standard_{env}_region" ) print(f"Refreshed foreign catalog for environment: {env}") data_handler.fetch_all( f"REFRESH FOREIGN SCHEMA catalog_project_standard_{env}_region.sync_schema" ) print(f"Refreshed foreign schema for environment: {env}") # Create synced table synced_table = w.database.create_synced_database_table( SyncedDatabaseTable( # Target table in PostgreSQL (names anonymised) name=( f"catalog_project_standard_{env}_region.sync_schema.{table_name}" ), # Matches Databricks DB connection configuration (anonymised) database_instance_name="db_instance", logical_database_name=f"catalog_project_foreign_{read_env}_region", spec=SyncedTableSpec( # Source table full name (anonymised) source_table_full_name=( f"catalog_project_foreign_{read_env}_region.db.{table_name}" ), primary_key_columns=pk_columns, scheduling_policy=SyncedTableSchedulingPolicy.SNAPSHOT, create_database_objects_if_missing=True, new_pipeline_spec=NewPipelineSpec( storage_catalog=f"catalog_project_standard_{env}_region", storage_schema="sync_schema", ), ), ) ) print(f"Created synced table: {synced_table.name}") # Retrieve pipeline ID and update configuration pipeline_id = synced_table.data_synchronization_status.pipeline_id w.pipelines.update( pipeline_id=pipeline_id, budget_policy_id="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000", # anonymised name=f"Sync to PostgreSQL {table_name}", catalog=f"catalog_project_standard_{env}_region", schema=f"db_schema_{env}", tags={ "DOMAIN": "DATA", "PROJECT": "DATA_PLATFORM", "PROCESS": "SYNC_PIPELINE", "TOOLS": "DATABRICKS", "TARGET": "POSTGRESQL", }, ) print(f"Updated pipeline: {pipeline_id}")

Here is the sample code i'm using. The `data_handler` object is connected to the SQL Warehouse of the same workspace. It's a custom package to make configurations simplier for us regarding the "env" we select. Behind, it does execute the sql command to the warehouse. I don't have errors on the SQL commands.

But sadly the issue is persisting. I also change my web browser thinking it could be a cache on the browser, but it's the same.
