getting the following error while executing above code from my local jupyter

This query ran against the "trainingdb" database, unless qualified by the query. Please post the error message on our forum  or contact customer support  with Query Id: 4af7ac1b-34da-43d5-8aff-7ef2408e3ff7

It doesn't like that you put the database in front of the table name in the query. Did you try it without that? Here's some documentation that doesn't have the database name in the query. Since it lists the database name twice in the error message and it's listed once in the query, I assume that's the cause.
