# Deprecated Job Option

Dear Upsolver Users,

In an effort to streamline functionality and enhance user experience, we are announcing the deprecation of the `CREATE_TABLE_IF_MISSING` job option specifically when copying into data lake tables. 

This change will take effect two weeks from today. 

**Affected Target**: Data lake tables. 

**Unaffected Targets**: Snowflake and PostgreSQL.

**Impact**: The `CREATE_TABLE_IF_MISSING` option will not have any effect when copying into data lake tables. However, it will continue to function as expected when copying into Snowflake and PostgreSQL.

**Timeline**: The deprecation will be enforced starting December 12, 2023. After this period, attempts to use `CREATE_TABLE_IF_MISSING` when copying into data lake tables will result in an error.

We recommend reviewing and updating your existing workflows to accommodate this change. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team.

Thank you for your understanding as we work to improve Upsolver.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://upsolver.gitbook.io/content/release-notes/earlier-releases/2023/november-2023/deprecated-job-option.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
