This seems to work just fine in other SQLs, but doesn't seem work in hive.
I need to have several wild card characters in my 'like' clause as follows. In other SQLs, I want: .... where page_url_query like '%?icid=main%dl%' But in Hive that doesn't match. I have several work arounds. I can write it as: where (page_url_query like '%?icid=main%') and (page_url_query like '%dl%') or, I can just use something like where length(regexp_extract(page__url_query, '.*\?cdid-main.*dl.*',0) <> 0 But more important is two or more '%' wild cards in a Hive like expression a known issue? --- Mark E.
