Can we create a view name having multiple '-' or '/' in Hive












1















I want to create a view name which is actually a result of stored variable which looks like school/123-324-235. Hive doesnot allows to create such view names. But seriously if I can create such view it would be much helpful. Is there any way to name the view such with any tricks then please help.

          • we can create hive table/view with / in it's name but we are still not able to use - in the table names.


          Ex:



          Connected to: Apache Hive (version 1.2.1000.2.6.4.0-91)



          hive> set hive.support.special.characters.tablename=true;
          hive> create view `school123/245` as select * from <tb_name>;
          hive> select * from `school123/245`;
          hive> drop view `school123/245`;


          Please refer to this link for workaround for this case changing the table name in metastore.

          • sir can we use a result of a query to be the name of the view and do you know how to do it? the result may have '.' in it like prod.school.kolkata

          • @VijayaSeetharaman, if you are using Hive terminal then set hive.cli.print.header=true; this property to print out column names while selecting from the view.

          • you dint get my point. I want the view name to be used from a result from query. Supoose the query is select school where the id is xyz The result would be HS_School. Can create view with that name? I mean how to frame the create view statement like: create view (select school where the id is xyz) as (Select * from <tablename> join <tablename2>). I want the name coming from a select view.
