Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-1126:
--------------------------------------
Hi Bennie,
HIVE-675 will provide support in Hive for MySQL's concept of "databases", i.e.
separate namespaces for tables.
It will make it possible to do things like this:
{code}
CREATE DATABASE d1;
USE d1;
CREATE TABLE t1(a INT);
USE default;
CREATE TABLE t1(b INT);
{code}
HIVE-1010 addresses the task of adding support in Hive for an
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.
> Missing some Jdbc functionality like getTables getColumns and
> HiveResultSet.get* methods based on column name.

> Reporter: Bennie Schut

> I've been using the hive jdbc driver more and more and was missing some
> functionality which I added
> HiveDatabaseMetaData.getTables
> Using "show tables" to get the info from hive.
> HiveDatabaseMetaData.getColumns
> Using "describe tablename" to get the columns.
> This makes using something like SQuirreL a lot nicer since you have the list
> of tables and just click on the content tab to see what's in the table.
> I also implemented
> HiveResultSet.getObject(String columnName) so you call most get* methods
> based on the column name.
