Problems importing tables from SAP that have / characters in the table name

[#1]

Is there a way to make sqoop accept / characters in table and field names?

I have tried the following:

leaving the name as-is: --table /BI0/TCUSTOMER

wrapping in quotes: --table "/BI0/TCUSTOMER"

escaping each /: --table "\/BI0\/TCUSTOMER"

It produces this error each time for all three options above:

com.sap.db.jdbc.exceptions.JDBCDriverException: SAP DBTech JDBC: [257]: sql syntax error: incorrect syntax near "\": line 1 col 17 (at pos 17)

[#2]

Have you tried using --query using a specific select statement to pull data?

[#3]

So I found that if i force a query using --query it will work, but if I let sqoop generate the query it does not.

Example --query "select * from \"BI0/TCUSTOMER\"" will work, but referring to the table in the same way by using the --table \"BI0/TCUSTOMER\" argument does not work. So the problem must be when sqoop generates the SQL query on its own, it is not syntactically correct.

If there was a way to see the query it was generating that would be very helpful to troubleshoot it, but as far as I know there is not.

Yes, doing that gave the same error.

@Josh Persinger

Please use like this, it will resolve the issue.

--table "TestSchema\".\"/BIC/AZDSOV1_100"

Similar to bug https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1722

[#6]

I still believe this can be fix through different syntax since I don't have SAP installed with SAP driver so can't test it with multiple changes locally.

Please give another try with below syntax.

"SCHEMA.\"/BI0/TCUSTOMER\""

[#7]

Did you tried the last suggested syntax or are you able to resolve this issue?

[#8]

Yes I tried the above. That somewhat fixed my problem, it seems to accept the syntax now, but I believe it is now literally interpreting the quotes as part of the table name, so when it goes to SAP to find that table, it can't find it because the quotes aren't actually there in the SAP table name...

Ok then we may need to remove the initial double quote.

SCHEMA.\"/BI0/TCUSTOMER\"

[#10]

Got the same error:
