Dong Chen commented on HIVE-8155: --------------------------------- Thank you for comments! [~sershe] bq. What would the original result of the query be? return all the columns, no matter the string following * is column name or random. bq. E.g. select *_name from employee to select first and last name, or something. It's rather esoteric, but would be nice to check I checked a table u_data with 4 columns. Two of columns are userid and movieid. {{select *id from u_data}} still returns all the 4 columns. > In select statement after * any random characters are allowed in hive but in > RDBMS its not allowed > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-8155 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-8155 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Ferdinand Xu > Assignee: Dong Chen > Priority: Critical > Attachments: HIVE-8155.patch > > > In select statement after * any random characters are allowed in hive but in > RDBMS its not allowed. > Steps: > In the below query "abcdef" is random characters. > In RDBMS(oracle): > select *abcdef from mytable; > Output: > ERROR prepare() failed with: ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected > In Hive: > select *abcdef from mytable; > Output: > Query worked fine and display all the records of mytable. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
