MismatchedTokenException on hive create table query

I'm trying to create a Hive table with the following query:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS BXDataSet 
    (ISBN STRING, 
    BookTitle STRING, 
    BookAuthor STRING, 
    YearOfPublication STRING, 
    Publisher STRING, 
    ImageURLS STRING, 
    ImageURLM STRING, 
    ImageURLL STRING) 
COMMENT 'BX-Books Table' 
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' LINE TERMINATED BY '\n'
STORED AS TEXTFILE;

How when I submitted to Hive I got the following exception:

Hive is correctly installed, I'm able to run things like show tables. So, what is the issue with this query?

You need to specify delimiter's OCT code .

That is for ; OCT code is 073

  CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS BXDataSet 
(ISBN STRING, 
BookTitle STRING, 
BookAuthor STRING, 
YearOfPublication STRING, 
Publisher STRING, 
ImageURLS STRING, 
ImageURLM STRING, 
ImageURLL STRING) 
COMMENT 'BX-Books Table' 
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\073' LINE TERMINATED BY '\n'
 STORED AS TEXTFILE;

WRONGLINE TERMINATED BY '\n'

RIGHTLINES TERMINATED BY '\n'

'LINES' NOT 'LINE'

Simple answer is to escape the ";" like this "\;" so your line would be ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\;' LINE TERMINATED BY '\n'

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS BXDataSetNew (ISBN STRING, BookTitle STRING, BookAuthor STRING, YearOfPublication STRING, Publisher STRING, ImageURLS STRING, ImageURLM STRING, ImageURLL STRING) COMMENT 'BX-Books Table' ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' STORED AS TEXTFILE;
