HPL/SQL is included to Apache Hive since version 2.0
HPL/SQL is included to Apache Hive since version 2.0
HPL/SQL configuration is stored in hplsql-site.xml file. This file stores options in the following format:
<configuration> <property> <name></name> <value></value> <description></description> </property> </configuration>
Note that you can set all options dynamically using the SET statement in a HPL/SQL script:
SET option=value;
.hplsqlrc file is automatically executed when you launch hplsql tool. In this file you can define user-defined SQL functions and stored procedures that can be later used in your HPL/SQL scripts.
.hplsqlrc file is loaded from a CLASSPATH directory. Note that you can also run statements per each connection, see splsql.conn.init.default for details.
If .hplsqlrc does not exist, HPL/SQL also tries to execute hplsqlrc file.
Version: HPL/SQL 0.3.1
The hplsql.conn.default option specifies the default connection profile. The default value is hive2conn. You can use the SET statement in a HPL/SQL script to change the default profile at runtime:
SET hplsql.conn.default = <new_connection_profile>;
For information about connection profiles, see Connections and Working with Multiple Databases.
Version: HPL/SQL 0.1
The hplsql.conn.hive2conn option specifies the connection profile for HiveServer2 JDBC:
<property> <name>hplsql.conn.hive2conn</name> <value>org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver;jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000;user;pwd</value> </property>
You can use this profile when you run HPL/SQL tool on a remote host.
Version: HPL/SQL 0.3.1
The hplsql.conn.init.hive2conn option defines SQL statements to execute after establishing a connection to the hive2conn profile. You can use this option to specify job queue, execution engines in Hive etc.
For example:
<property> <name>hplsql.conn.init.hiveconn2</name> <value> set mapred.job.queue.name=dev; set hive.execution.engine=mr; use sales_db; </value> </property>
Version: HPL/SQL 0.3.1
The hplsql.conn.convert.hive2conn option defines whether on-the-fly SQL conversion is enabled for the hive2conn profile. The default value is true.
For example:
<property> <name>hplsql.conn.convert.hive2conn</name> <value>true</value> </property>
Version: HPL/SQL 0.3.1
The hplsql.conn.hiveconn option specifies the connection profile for HiveServer 2 embedded connection (local connection):
<property> <name>hplsql.conn.hiveconn</name> <value>org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver;jdbc:hive2://</value> </property>
You can use this profile when you run HPL/SQL tool on a host running the HiveServer2.
Version: HPL/SQL 0.3.1
The hplsql.conn.init.hiveconn option defines SQL statements to execute after establishing a connection to the hiveconn profile. You can use this option to specify job queue, execution engines in Hive etc.

Version: HPL/SQL 0.3.1
The hplsql.conn.init.hive1conn option defines SQL statements to execute after establishing a connection to the hive1conn profile. You can use this option to specify job queue, execution engines in Hive etc.
For example:
<property> <name>hplsql.conn.init.hive1conn</name> <value> set mapred.job.queue.name=dev; set hive.execution.engine=mr; use sales_db; </value> </property>
Version: HPL/SQL 0.3.1
The hplsql.conn.convert.hive1conn option defines whether on-the-fly SQL conversion is enabled for the hiveconn profile. The default value is true.

Version: HPL/SQL 0.3.1
The hplsql.conn.db2conn option specifies the connection profile for a IBM DB2 database:
<property> <name>hplsql.conn.db2conn</name> <value>com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver;jdbc:db2://localhost:50001/dbname;user;pwd</value> <description>IBM DB2 connection</description> </property>
When using DB2 JDBC driver make sure db2jcc4.jar is specified in CLASSPATH.
Set appropriate login information and use this profile if you need to work with a DB2 database from a HPL/SQL script.
Version: HPL/SQL 0.3.7
The hplsql.conn.tdconn option specifies the connection profile for a Teradata database:
<property> <name>hplsql.conn.tdconn</name> <value> com.teradata.jdbc.TeraDriver;jdbc:teradata://host/database=name,logmech=ldap;usr;pwd </value> <description>Teradata connection</description> </property>
When using Teradata JDBC driver make sure teradata-jdbc4-xx.xx.xx.jar and tdgssconfig.jar (both .jars required) are specified in CLASSPATH.
Set appropriate login information and use this profile if you need to work with a Teradata database from a HPL/SQL script.
Version: HPL/SQL 0.3.7
The hplsql.conn.mysqlconn option specifies the connection profile for a MySQL database:
<property> <name>hplsql.conn.mysqlconn</name> <value>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver;jdbc:mysql://localhost/test;user;pwd</value> <description>MySQL connection</description> </property>
When using MySQL JDBC driver make sure mysql-connector-java-x.x.xx-bin.jar is specified in CLASSPATH.
Set appropriate login information and use this profile if you need to work with a MySQL database from a HPL/SQL script.
Version: HPL/SQL 0.3.1
The hplsql.conn.<connection_profile> option defines the connection profile <connection_profile>.
The value tag contains information about JDBC driver, connection string, user and password separated by semicolon (;)
<value>JDBC Driver;JDBC Connection String;User;Password</value>
For example:
<property> <name>hplsql.conn.sales_conn</name> <value>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver;jdbc:mysql://localhost/sales_db;paul;pwd</value> </property>
For information about connection profiles, see Connections and Working with Multiple Databases.
Version: HPL/SQL 0.3.1
The hplsql.conn.init.<connection_profile> option defines SQL statements to execute after establishing a connection to the <connection_profile>. You can use this option to specify the current database, schema or set session options.
For example:
<property> <name>hplsql.conn.init.sales_conn</name> <value> use sales_db; </value> </property>
If you need to execute multiple SQL statements use semicolon (;) to separate them.
Version: HPL/SQL 0.3.1
The hplsql.dual.table option defines a single row, single column table that HPL/SQL can use for internal operations.
Note that Hive allows you to execute SELECT statement without FROM clause since version 0.14 only. Using this option and Hive 0.13 and earlier, you can force HPL/SQL to automatically add FROM hplsql.dual.table to any SELECT statement that does not have FROM.
The default value is default.dual for HPL/SQL 0.3.13 and earlier, and empty since HPL/SQL 0.3.17. So now HPL/SQL does not add FROM hplsql.dual.table, by default.
Note that the table must exist in the database, HPL/SQL can only use an existing table.
Version: HPL/SQL 0.3 introduced, HPL/SQL 0.3.17 default value changed.
The hplsql.insert.values option defines how HPL/SQL executes INSERT VALUES statement in Hive.
If hplsql.insert.values is set to native HPL/SQL relies on the database that must support INSERT VALUES syntax. Note that INSERT VALUES is available in Hive since version 0.14 only and can only be performed on tables that support ACID.
If hplsql.insert.values is set to select HPL/SQL transforms VALUES clause to the list of SELECT FROM dual UNION ALL … clauses.
The default value is native. For more information, see INSERT Statement.
Version: HPL/SQL 0.3
The hplsql.onerror option defines how HPL/SQL handles errors.
Values:
For more information, see Error Handling.
Version: HPL/SQL 0.1
The hplsql.temp.tables option defines how HPL/SQL handles temporary tables.
Values:
Note that Hive supports temporary tables since version 0.14 only.
For more information, see DECLARE TEMPORARY TABLE
Version: HPL/SQL 0.3
The hplsql.temp.tables.schema option specifies in which schema HPL/SQL creates temporary tables. This option is only applied if hplsql.temp.tables is set to managed.
By the default, the current schema is used.
For more information, see DECLARE TEMPORARY TABLE
Version: HPL/SQL 0.3
The hplsql.temp.tables.location option specifies the HDFS directory which is used for store temporary tables data by HPL/SQL. This option is only applied if hplsql.temp.tables is set to managed.
By the default, /tmp/hplsql directory is used.
For more information, see DECLARE TEMPORARY TABLE
