If you are using hiveContext to create a Hive database it will work.
In general you should use Hive to create a Hive database and create tables
within the already existing Hive database from Spark.
Make sure that you qualify <TABLE_NAME> with <DATABASE_NAME>
sql("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS accounts.ll_18740868")
var sqltext : String = ""
sqltext = """
CREATE TABLE accounts.ll_18740868 (
TransactionDate DATE
,TransactionType String
,SortCode String
,AccountNumber String
,TransactionDescription String
,DebitAmount Double
,CreditAmount Double
,Balance Double
)
COMMENT 'from csv file from excel sheet'
STORED AS ORC
TBLPROPERTIES ( "orc.compress"="ZLIB" )
"""
sql(sqltext)
