SQOOP SQLSERVER Failed to load driver “ appropriate connection manager is not being set”

Question

I downloaded sqljdbc4.jar. I\'m invoking sqoop like so from the folder (where the jar is stored):

sqoop list-tables --driver com.microso

Answer 1

You need to put sqljdbc4.jar in $SQOOP_HOME/lib and also add sqoop-1.4.4.jar or whatever version you are using along with sqljdbc4.jar to $HADOOP_HOME/lib.

I'm using Hadoop-2.2.0, so i put it inside $HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/common/lib directory, and use the following command to do the import:

export HCAT_HOME=/home/Kuntal/BIG_DATA/hive-0.12.0/hcatalog

(sometimes HCatlog of Hive needs to be exported or set.)

./sqoop-import --connect "jdbc:sqlserver://IP\INSTANCE;port=1433;username=USERNAME;password=PASSWORD;database=DATABASE_NAME" --table TABLE_NAME --target-dir hdfs://localhost:50315/sqoop --m 1

Sometimes you have to specify the port, otherwise default works. Hope you find it useful.
