Chaoyu Tang commented on HIVE-11100: ------------------------------------ Since Hive 0.14, Beeline supports multiple commands separated by ";" in a single line passed in via -f or -e, which break the case with ";" in sql query. This JIRA is to provide an escape "\" to the ";' in query, so that it will behave same as CLI. > Beeline should escape semi-colon in queries > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-11100 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-11100 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Beeline > Affects Versions: 1.2.0, 1.1.0 > Reporter: Chaoyu Tang > Assignee: Chaoyu Tang > Priority: Minor > > Beeline should escape the semicolon in queries. for example, the query like > followings: > CREATE TABLE beeline_tb (c1 int, c2 string) ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS > TERMINATED BY ';' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'; > or > CREATE TABLE beeline_tb (c1 int, c2 string) ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS > TERMINATED BY '\;' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'; > both failed. > But the 2nd query with semicolon escaped with "\" works in CLI. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
