  • Install MySQL version 5.1.x with necessary client tools. You can install the server in a different host than your development host if necessary. However, you must have the client tools available on your development host including the JDBC driver, and batch utilities such as mysqldump and mysqlimport.
  • Place the JDBC driver in the third-party lib directory that you created earlier.
  • The location of MySQL server is specified in the build.properties file by the value for the property sqoop.test.mysql.connectstring.host_url. This property defaults to jdbc:mysql://localhost/ which assumes local installation and default port setup. If however your MySQL server is installed on a different host , enter its location in the build.properties file or on a different port you should specify it explicitly as follows:
    Code Block
    sqoop.test.mysql.connectstring.host_url=jdbc:mysql://mysqlhost<mysqlhost>:<port>/
  • In order to run the MySQL third-party tests, you would need to configure the database as follows:
    Code Block
    $ mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE sqooppasstest;
mysql> CREATE DATABASE sqooptestdb;
mysql> use mysql;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on sqooppasstest.* TO 'sqooptest'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '12345';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON sqooptestdb.* TO 'yourusername'@'localhost';
mysql> flush privileges;
  • Note:
    • If the installation of MySQL server is on a different host, you must replace the localhost with the appropriate client host value.
    • You should replace yourusername with your actual user name before issuing the command.
Setting up PostgreSQL
  • Install PostgreSQL 8.3.9 or later along with client tools. You can install the server in a different host than your development host if necessary. However, you must have the client tools available on your development host including the JDBC driver and command line utility psql.
  • Place the JDBC driver in the third-party lib directory that you created earlier.
  • If your PostgreSQL server is installed on a different host, enter its location in the build.properties file as follows:
    Code Block
    
sqoop.test.postgresql.connectstring.host_url=jdbc:postgresql://pgsqlhost/
  • In order to run PostgreSQL third-party tests, you would need to configure the database as follows:
