Sqoop 1.4.5 with direct should work be fine using TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE data types.
Could you please share the command you are running and add the “—verbose” flag and share the log as well? Preferably the log from the Sqoop client as well as the map tasks. If possible could you also share the create table statement you are using? From: Giovanni M.L.G.

Regarding oracle: we are using sqoop 1.4.5-cdh5.4.4 with the --direct option. We have no problem importing dates and timestamps with no timezone info. The problem comes in when timezone info is there [We get something like "Cannot convert SQL-type -102" error]. The only workoround we found is the one i mentioned [using --map-column-java]. Do you think things change with sqoop 1.4.6? Regarding Access: our use case is the following: an .mdb or .accdb file gets shipped to a node in our cluster with sftp [we can't connect directly to the windows server] and we should import all the tables in that file into hive. I haven't tried the easysoft driver because it seemed that it required the .mdb to be in a windows server I have tried with the UCanAccess jdbc driver. Since the access db file is actually already in our cluster I don't even know if sqoop would be the right tool for reading the data from it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, GG
