## The problem I’m having

I have a running job that loads new data from our staging layer to raw layer, it was running absolutely fine until recently the job started failing with this error "Encountered an error: Database Error could not open relation with OID

## The context of why I’m trying to do this

I trying to load new data from staging layer to raw layer incrementally but model fails sometimes

## What I’ve already tried

I have tried changing the other jobs so that this job does not concide with the other jobs but still this issue persists

## Some example code or error messages

```auto

Encountered an error:
Database Error
  could not open relation with OID xxxxxxx

Put code inside backticks
  to preserve indentation
    which is especially important 
      for Python and YAML! 

```

Did you ever find out what was causing this by any chance? We’re running into the exact same issue with one of our jobs.
