Hi,
The following variable freq fails to resolve:
bash-4.1$ export freq=MNTH
bash-4.1$ echo $freq
MNTH
bash-4.1$ hive -e "select ${env:freq} as dr from dual"
Logging initialized using configuration in
file:/etc/hive/conf.dist/hive-log4j.properties
Hive history
file=/hadoop1/hive_querylog/sumighos/hive_job_log_sumighos_201304302321_1867815625.txt
FAILED: ParseException line 1:8 cannot recognize input near 'as' 'dr' 'from' in
select clause
bash-4.1$
Here dual is a table with 1 row.
What am I am doing wrong? When I try to resolve freq - it is empty!!
$ hive -S -e "select '${env:freq}' as dr from dual"
$
Thanks,
Sumit
