Context: Hive3, HDP 3.1. Tests done with Python/odbc (official HDP driver) under Windows and Linux.
I ran the following queries:
1) and 2) work fine, and give me the expected result. 3 gives me a ParseException :
Error while compiling statement: FAILED: ParseException line 1:21 cannot recognize input near '?' 'as' 'lic' in select clause (80) (SQLPrepare)")
The exact same statements ran with java/jdbc work fine. Note that 2) looks like is a workaround for 3) but it works for this tiny example, not for bigger queries.
Is there something I can do to have ODBC working as expected? Alternatively, where can I find the limits of the ODBC driver?
For full context, the full test code is as follow:
cnxnstr = 'DSN=HiveProd' cnxn = pyodbc.connect(cnxnstr, autocommit=True) cursor = cnxn.cursor() queries = [ "with init as (select ? as lic, ? as cpg) select * from init", "select 2 * ? as lic, ? as cpg", "select * from (select ? as lic, ? as cpg) as t", ] for q in queries: print("\nExecuting " + q) try: cursor.execute(q, '1', '2') except pyodbc.ProgrammingError as e: print(e) continue

The ODBC driver does not support all syntax niceties (no CTE) and if there is a syntax error, it will output a completely irrelevant message, which adds a lot to the confusion. To actually see the actual error, you need to add ODBC logging and look at the log files.
