Hive inserting values to an array complex type column
My Table has two columns: a STRING, b ARRAY<STRING>.
When I use @Kishore Kumar Suthar's method, I got this:
FAILED: ParseException line 1:33 cannot recognize input near '(' 'a' ',' in statement
But I find another way, and it works for me:
INSERT INTO test.table SELECT "test1", ARRAY("123", "456", "789") FROM dummy LIMIT 1;dummy is any table which has atleast one row.
Suppose I have a table employee containing the fields ID and Name.
I create another table employee_address with fields ID and Address. Address is a complex data of type array(string).
Here is how I can insert values into it:
insert into table employee_address select 1, 'Mark', 'Evans', ARRAY('NewYork','11th avenue') from employee limit 1;Here the table employee just acts as a dummy table. No data is copied from it. Its schema may not match employee_address. It doesn't matter.
