Execute multiple queries in single pyhive.execute command


Using pyhive, is it possible to execute multiple hql's like 'CREATE TABLE TABLE1 (ITEM_KEY BIGINT );CREATE TABLE TABLE2 (ITEM_NAME BIGINT );'.

Sample code

from pyhive import hive
conn = hive.Connection(host=host
                       , port=port, username=user
                       , password=passwd
                       , auth=auth)
cursor = conn.cursor()
query= 'CREATE TABLE TABLE1 (ITEM_KEY BIGINT );CREATE TABLE TABLE2 (ITEM_NAME BIGINT );'. 
cursor.execute(query)

Solution

  • How about you split your query and execute them one by one?

    qList = query.split(";")
    for q in qList:
        cursor.execute(q)
