DRIVER={Cloudera ODBC Driver for Impala};Host=192.168.123.14;Port=21050;Schema=default;DefaultTable=default;AuthMech=0;TrustedCerts=C:\Program Files\Cloudera ODBC Driver for Impala\lib\cacerts.pem;

 

,and the like follow

 

DataSource.Error: ODBC: ERROR [HY000] [Cloudera][ImpalaODBC] (110) Error while executing a query in Impala: [HY000] : Error: Error: could not match input

 

Message=ERROR [HY000] [Cloudera][ImpalaODBC] (110) Error while executing a query in Impala: [HY000] : Error: Error: could not match input ErrorCode=-2146232009.

 

Can someone help me to revise it? Thanks!

The error sounds like the ODBC connection was successful, but the Impala query failed to parse.

 

A common issue is sending a SQL string that is terminated by a semicolon. Impala cannot parse such a query. Remove the trailing semicolon to make it work.

 

Future versions of Impala will also accept a trailing semicolon.

 

Let me know if this olves ths issue
