David Robson commented on SQOOP-382: ------------------------------------ It looks like you need to add the jar to the classpath - eg "java TestAzure -cp ./:./sqljdbc4.jar" You also probably need to add the connection string to your Java code to actually create the connection. As for your problem - I asked a colleague who has used Sqoop on Azure before and he gave me the following command line he used which worked successfully: sqoop import --connect "jdbc:sqlserver://YOUR_HOST.database.windows.net:1433;database=YOUR_DATABASE;user=YOUR_USER@YOUR_HOST;password=YOUR_PASSWORD" --table YOUR_TABLE --target-dir YOUR_DIRECTORY --split-by YOUR_SPLIT_COLUMN Could you try this command - so get rid of the connection parameters completely - and specify the password in the URL just to see if it works? >From my experience the connection parameters using the connection-param-file >do not work (hence this bug) - so probably best to eliminate them all together. > Connection parameters should be used on the mapper > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SQOOP-382 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-382 > Project: Sqoop > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: David Robson > > Currently you can specify connection parameters using --connection-param-file > <properties-file>. > This applies the connection parameters to the connection when generating the > Sqoop code - but the parameters are not passed down to the mapper. > Instead of specifying a parameters file couldn't we have a comma seperated > list that could be specified on the command line or in sqoop-site.xml - that > way it would be easier to override the settings per job, and they would be > passed down to the mappers. It would then be simple to modify > DBConfiguration.getConnection to read these. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
