创建带有说明的配置单元表

Question

Where should table descriptions be added when creating tables in Hive?

Table name: "Orders"

Table Description: "Orders from Vendor ABC."

Answer 1

You should use [COMMENT table_comment] keyword in the command.

Example:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS orders (id String, name String) COMMENT 'Orders from Vendor ABC.' ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' STORED AS TEXTFILE;
