Hi Thomas,

Don’t worry. Please create a jira at 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP and post verbose log etc.

dir”

Hi Qian,

Thank you for your reply, unfortunately, this table is named datatable (--table 
datatable).

The file sqoop attempts to create is simply named using the hostname of the 
server, which seems to be the problem.

I can send you a complete verbose log if this can help…
