How to use sqoop import

[samir das mohapatra]

Hi All,
  Can any one share some example how to run sqoop "Import results of SQL
'statement'"   ?
 for example:
         sqoop import -connect jdbc:.........  --driver xxxxxxxxxxx

after this if i am specifying  --query "select statement " it is even not
recognizing as sqoop  valid statement..

Regards,
samir.
