spark-sql parse sql insert into error

Question

object Test {
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    val spark = SparkSession
      .builder()
      .appName("Spark SQL Example")
      .master("local")
      .getOrCreate()

//    val peopleDF = spark.read.json("yy/people.json")
//
//    peopleDF.write.parquet("people.parquet")

    val parquetFileDF = spark.read.parquet("people.parquet")

    parquetFileDF.createOrReplaceTempView("parquetFile")

    val namesDF = spark.sql("SELECT * FROM parquetFile")

    namesDF.show()

    val namesDF1 = spark.sql("insert into TABLE parquetFile (idx, name, age) values (200, \"hello\", 78)")

  }
}

The code is up and the below is output!,the insert into can't add column name before values.

Answer 1

At first, you are calling INSERT on temp view not on some table.

Secondly, it should be INSERT INTO TableName not INSERT INTO TABLE TableName

Answer 2

The same error i got in my scenario. Please refer below

Error i got from below sql :

insert into Employee ( id , name , age ) SELECT id , name , age from Employee2

Fixed Using the Below statememt

insert into Employee SELECT id , name , age from Employee2

comments : we dnt need to specify all the columns seperately in insert statement instead we can change select (it may be a spark requirement) anyhow its worked for me

Answer 3

I was having same problem. Insert into TableName and removing column names specifications worked. I wanted it to work with column name as well so I changed my cluster to following:

8.1, Spark: 3.1.1 , Single Node, Scala 2.12, Standard DS3 V2
