I know the sqoop official doc says the right connect format for jdbc mysql is as below:
$ bin/sqoop help import usage: sqoop import [GENERIC-ARGS] [TOOL-ARGS] Common arguments: --connect <jdbc-uri> Specify JDBC connect string --connection-manager <class-name> Specify connection manager class to use --driver <class-name> Manually specify JDBC driver class to use --hadoop-mapred-home <dir> Override $HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME --help Print usage instructions --password-file Set path for file containing authentication password -P Read password from console --password <password> Set authentication password --username <username> Set authentication username In my practice, I have been using --username= and --password= The reason I am using that is from a training course and I have been followed that and it works for me. Would there be any possible risk of it gets declined for the right credential? Thank you. *------------------------------------------------* *Sincerely yours,* *Raymond*
