John Sichi commented on HIVE-1517: ---------------------------------- This case needs to work: {noformat} use db1; create table t(...); create view v as select * from t; use db2; select * from db1.v; {noformat} What this means is that when we store the definition of v, we need to store a fully-qualified db1.t reference. Otherwise, when we expand the view in the later query, we'll look for t in db2 (incorrect) rather than db1 (correct). > ability to select across a database > ----------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1517 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1517 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Query Processor > Reporter: Namit Jain > Assignee: Carl Steinbach > > After https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-675, we need a way to be > able to select across a database for this feature to be useful. > For eg: > use db1 > create table foo(....); > use db2 > select .. from db1.foo..... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
