Hi ,

Can you give me the steps for running the .hql scripts from beeline prompt?

i get below error.

0: jdbc:hive2://> source /home/local/hive/p.hql;

NoViableAltException(26@[])

at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.HiveParser.statement(HiveParser.java:1079)

at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.ParseDriver.parse(ParseDriver.java:202)

at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.ParseDriver.parse(ParseDriver.java:166)

i am comfortable with below command and it works

1) hive> source /home/local/hive/p.hql;

OK

table_1

Please try this from within beeline client:

 0 jdbc:hive2://> !run /tmp/test.hql

The file does not need to be local to the Hiveserver2, it needs to exist on the node where you run Beeline.

check:

 0 jdbc:hive2://> !help

too, for many usefull special commands in Beeline
