sqoop EXPORT - There is no column found in the target table

Question

I wrote a simple script to create a user (TestV100), create a table (Xy100) in that schema and export a tabl delimited flat file from hadoop to this oracle table.

This is the shell script: - ExportOracleTestV100.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Testing connectivity to Oracle DB
#sqoop eval --connect jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:1521:orcl -username test -password password --query "SELECT count(*) as bob FROM \"TestV1\".\"Test\"" --verbose

HOST=$1
USER=$2
PASS=$3
SCHEMA=$4
PORT=$5
SID=$6
SQOOP=/usr/bin/sqoop
JDBC="jdbc:oracle:thin:@$1:$5:$6"
SQOOP_EVAL="$SQOOP eval --connect $JDBC --username $USER --password $PASS --query"

#Create Schema and Tables;
${SQOOP_EVAL} "CREATE USER \"TestV100\" identified by \"password\""
${SQOOP_EVAL} "GRANT CONNECT TO \"TestV100\""
${SQOOP_EVAL} "ALTER USER \"TestV100\" QUOTA UNLIMITED ON USERS"

${SQOOP_EVAL} "DROP TABLE \"TestV100\".\"Xy100\""
${SQOOP_EVAL} "CREATE TABLE \"TestV100\".\"Xy100\"( \"a\" NVARCHAR2(255) DEFAULT NULL, \"x\" NUMBER(10,0) DEFAULT NULL, \"y\" NUMBER(10,0) DEFAULT NULL )"

SQOOP_EXPORT="/usr/bin/sudo -u hdfs $SQOOP export --connect ${JDBC} --username $USER --password $PASS --export-dir"
${SQOOP_EXPORT} "/tmp/rv/TestV100/xy100.txt" --table "\"\"$SCHEMA\".\"Xy100\"\"" --fields-terminated-by "\t" --input-null-string null -m 1

And this is the input file: - cat /tmp/rv/TestV100/Xy100.txt

c       8       3
a       1       4
c       6       1
c       2       0
a       7       7
c       4       2
c       7       5
a       0       0
c       5       6
a       2       2
a       5       5
a       3       6
c       9       7
a       4       1
c       3       4
a       6       3
b       6       5
b       8       7
b       5       1
b       7       3
b       2       4
b       1       0
b       4       6
b       3       2

This is how the shell script is called:

sh ./ExportOracleTestV100.sh oracle11 test password TestV100 1521 orcl --verbose

Note: 'test' user has full access on TestV100 schema.

Output:

[root@abc-repo-app1 rv]# sh ./ExportOracleTestV100.sh oracle11 test password TestV100 1521 orcl --verbose

As you can see above, Sqoop version is 1.4.5-cdh5.4.1

I somehow managed to get it this far. I see a lot of posting online for sqoop import and this error, and solution is to change the table name to UPPERCASE in the command. But, I am running export. Also, the oracle table HAS to be created with mixed case.

I hope I gave all required information here. Can someone please help or point to some place which can help me get past this error?

Answer 1

table name in uppercase worked.

sqoop export --connect jdbc:oracle:thin:@xyzx:1569:xyz --username xyz --password xyz --table CIPHADOOPCUSTOMERREPORT --export-dir /apps/hive/warehouse/ciprpt.db/dtd_customer_report --input-fields-terminated-by "\t" --input-lines-terminated-by "\n" --verbose -m 8 --input-null-string '\N' --input-null-non-string '\N'
