             Summary: Fix ordering in column list query of PostgreSQL connector
                 Key: SQOOP-3124
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-3124
             Project: Sqoop
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.4.6
            Reporter: Szabolcs Vasas
            Assignee: Szabolcs Vasas
             Fix For: 1.4.7


PostgreSQL connector gets the lit of column names from pg_attribute system 
catalog table using the following query:
{code}
SELECT col.ATTNAME FROM PG_CATALOG.PG_NAMESPACE sch,  PG_CATALOG.PG_CLASS tab, 
PG_CATALOG.PG_ATTRIBUTE col
WHERE sch.OID = tab.RELNAMESPACE   AND tab.OID = col.ATTRELID   AND sch.NSPNAME 
= (SELECT CURRENT_SCHEMA())  AND tab.RELNAME = ?   AND col.ATTNUM >= 1  AND 
col.ATTISDROPPED = 'f'
{code}

This SELECT statement does not contain an ORDER BY clause so the order of the 
result set is not guaranteed to be the column order defined during table 
creation and this can cause issues for the users.
The task is to make sure that the result set of this query is sorted by the 
attnum column of the pg_attribute table 
(https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Alter_column_position).
