Ok, here's an update on this. I'm going to provide as much intel as possible 
but let me know if folks need more context. Appreciate the help in advance...


1.     Process I'm testing: Source table in Oracle 11.2.0.3 > Sqoop Import to 
HDFS > Sqoop Export from HDFS > Target table in Oracle 11.2.0.3 (source and 
target have exact same DDL) (note: Sqoop version is 1.4.3.1.3.2.0-111)



2.     Source/target table schema:
column type
COL1    NUMBER
COL2    VARCHAR2(3 BYTE)
COL3    VARCHAR2(2 BYTE)
COL4    VARCHAR2(2 BYTE)
COL5    NUMBER
COL6    VARCHAR2(60 BYTE)
COL7    VARCHAR2(70 BYTE)
COL8    VARCHAR2(70 BYTE)
COL9    VARCHAR2(40 BYTE)
COL10  VARCHAR2(3 BYTE)
COL11  VARCHAR2(12 BYTE)
COL12  VARCHAR2(30 BYTE)
COL13  DATE
COL14  VARCHAR2(1 BYTE)
COL15  VARCHAR2(70 BYTE)
COL16  VARCHAR2(70 BYTE)
COL17  DATE
COL18  VARCHAR2(30 BYTE)
COL19  DATE
COL20  VARCHAR2(30 BYTE)
COL21  VARCHAR2(3 BYTE)
COL22  NUMBER
COL23  VARCHAR2(30 BYTE)
COL24  DATE
COL25  VARCHAR2(1 BYTE)


3.     Sqoop import syntax: sqoop import --table  schema.table_name -m 8 
--target-dir path/to_dir --connect jdbc:oracle:thin:@xxx.xxx.com:0000/schema 
--username xxx --password xxx

    Import doesn't fail; record count imported into HDFS matches the rowcount 
on the source table

4.     Sqoop export syntax: sqoop export --connect 
jdbc:oracle:thin:@xxx.xxx.xxx.com:0000/schema --table schema.table_name  
--export-dir /path/to_dir --username xxx --password xxx

    Export fails with:

java.io.IOException: Can't export data, please check task tracker logs

Venkat - I tried your suggestion below and the same failure happened (although 
I checked in HDFS and it did indeed bring the DATE in without flipping to 
TIMESTAMP).

Any ideas? Need any other info?

One thing that you may want to do (depending on the version of Oracle you are 
using) is to setup a connection parameter file (please see 
--connection-param-file option) and have one Oracle JDBC connection parameter 
set to not convert Data to timestamps

oracle.jdbc.mapDateToTimestamp=false

Thanks for the help Abe!

Nick,

I haven't tested this, but Sqoop should accept full timestamps when exporting 
into DATE columns. If the data you're exporting has a full timestamp (as it 
should after import), then the export job should just work.

Hi Abe,

After doing some digging on this issue I've found I'm facing what seems like a 
fairly common issue with importing data from an Oracle DATE column and trying 
to export that same data (from HDFS) back into an Oracle DATE column (of 
course, it will have been converted to a timestamp on the way into HDFS).

So, what's the current thinking on the best way to get around this issue?

Thanks,
Nick

Nick,

It looks like Sqoop believes the format of the timestamps are incorrect. Could 
you please inspect the data you are attempting to import and verify the columns 
are aligned and the data is correctly formatted? I believe if you use the 
--verbose option, Sqoop will give more details in its own logs and the tasks 
logs. Can you post the task logs back here?

Some other information that might be helpful to us is an example of the data 
you're trying to export and the schema of the table you're importing to.

Nick,

What is the exact command you are using and the exact error you are seeing? 
Also, what version of sqoop are you using?

Hi all,

I have a table I've imported from Oracle into HDFS and now I want to export it 
into an Oracle Db (import and export table schemas are identical).

My initial attempt at exporting from HDFS (using Sqoop) to Oracle failed (data 
types failures). So, my question is what's the best way for me to accomplish 
this? My source table is a mixture of NUMBER, VARCHAR, DATE fields. Am I better 
off importing into a Hive table I define and then exporting into Oracle from 
there? Or do I just need to do some export formatting in my Sqoop export 
statement?

Any other intel you'd need to make a recommendation?

Thanks in advance,
Nick
