bump
> Provide an option to TRUNCATE tables before exporting
> -----------------------------------------------------

> Key: SQOOP-1313
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1313
> Project: Sqoop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.4.4
> Reporter: Lars Francke
> Priority: Minor
>
> It'd be great to have an option to TRUNCATE tables before exporting data to
> them.
> There were a couple of mailing list posts about this feature already[1].
> Sometimes the data has to be replaced completely and having the option of
> Sqoop taking care of clearing the data first would be convenient. Currently
> we need to run a custom java action first that does the truncating.
> [1] One example:
