Hello,

I just came across the GenericUDFDBOutput and was able to successfully write
data to a mysql db.

I tried modifying the connection string to a sql server using jtds library
and for some reason it does not seem to work with jtds.

Has anyone come across the same issue before ?

I did the following steps before running my dboutput udf:
add jar
/home/hadoop/svn/elsharpy/library/mysql-connector-java-5.1.13-bin.jar;
add jar /usr/lib/hive/lib/hive_contrib.jar;
create temporary function dboutput as
'org.apache.hadoop.hive.contrib.genericudf.example.GenericUDFDBOutput';
(ran mysql query... it was all fine... )

add jar /usr/lib/hive/lib/jtds-1.2.5.jar;
(ran sql server query ... following is the stack trace from one of my
reducers
