Key: HIVE-2968
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2968
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Joey Echeverria
MySQL and Postgres support char(n), varchar(n), character(n), and character
varying(n) as data types. In Hive, those would map to strings. It would be
useful to support these types as aliases when creating a table.
