I am trying to use the odbc commands to connect to a non-local MySQL

[snip] You have an error

r(682);
if I execute the similar command I get a successful result:
. odbc load, exec("select * from tradeday_libor") dsn("MarkitCDS")
[snip]
so my question is, what am I doing wrong in the load, table command?
Thanks.

My guess is that it has to do with the way Stata's -odbc load- is handling
quotes around the table name or somewhere else.
Try the command without the double quotes around the table name. You
shouldn't need them, anyway.
If that doesn't work, try adding the -noquote- option.
If that doesn't work, try the -sqlshow- option and take a look at the SQL
statement that -odbc load- is generating; compare it to what you've got
in -odbc exec-.
