Jarek Jarcec Cecho commented on SQOOP-2658: ------------------------------------------- Per [MySQL documentation|http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/glossary.html#glos_schema] the words {{schema}} and {{database}} are synonyms. Hence MySQL really doesn't have support of schema in the same sense as [PostgreSQL|http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/ddl-schemas.html] or [Microsoft SQL Server|https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189462.aspx]. That is why the MySQL connector does not have support for {{\-\-schema}} argument as those two connectors. > MySQL doesn't take a schema parameter > ------------------------------------- > > Key: SQOOP-2658 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-2658 > Project: Sqoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: connectors/mysql > Affects Versions: 1.4.6 > Reporter: xplenty > Labels: mysql, sqoop > > When using MySQL with sqoop user cannot connect to a different schema than > that connected to (in the connection string) even though MySQL supports it. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
