Query error even if table exists about metabase-athena-driver

Try adding Schema in the additional connection string options, e.g: Schema=somedb

is this a problem? or we need to use something like "use 'database'" in SQL?

You'll need to specify the full database and table in your SQL queries.

This is behavior of the Athena JDBC driver.

By default, the driver queries the default database. To distinguish between tables
in the default and custom databases, when writing your queries, use the database
identifier as a namespace prefix to your table name.

is there any way to specify a default database?

It’s in the installation and configuration guide: https://s3.amazonaws.com/athena-downloads/drivers/JDBC/SimbaAthenaJDBC_2.0.9/docs/Simba+Athena+JDBC+Driver+Install+and+Configuration+Guide.pdf
