Hi,

I tried using upsert mode with MySQL and received the following error. Is
it not supported yet ?

Error:
ERROR tool.ExportTool: Error during export: Mixed update/insert is not
supported against the target database yet

Command:
sqoop --connect jdbc:mysql://localhost/test --username root --hive-table
test --table test2 --update-key=id --update-mode=allowinsert

With Regards,
Raghav.

Hi Raghav, I can't tell if you're doing a Sqoop export or import as
neither was specified in the command?

Also, can you try with

--update-mode allowinsert

(i.e. without the '=' sign)?

e.g. sqoop export --connect jdbc:mysql://localhost/test --username
root --hive-table test --table test2 --update-key=id --update-mode
allowinsert

Regards, Kathleen

Hi Kathleen,

I was doing sqoop export. I have a wrapper script which fires the actual
command. The option that was used was --update-mode allowinsert and the
database was mysql resulting in:
ERROR tool.ExportTool: Error during export: Mixed update/insert is
not supported against the target database yet

Without the --update-mode I get the rows appended as expected to the
destination table.

BTW, any idea which code commit added the feature for mysql - I would love
to look at the code myself.

Thanks,
Raghav.

Hi Raghav,
I've look into the code myself and I'm afraid that MySQL connector is really not supporting upsert at the moment. Please take a look at file org.apache.sqoop.manager.MySQLManager if you're interested.

I believe that adding upsert functionality to MySQL connector should not be a big deal as the database is already supporting it. Would you mind filling a JIRA about that on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP ?
