前言：
- 经过前面的学习 我们了解到Hive可以使用关系型数据库来存储元数据，而且Hive提供了比较完整的SQL功能 ，这篇文章主要介绍Hive基本的sql语法。
首先了解下Hive的数据存储结构，抽象图如下：
- 1.Database:Hive中包含了多个数据库，默认的数据库为default，对应于HDFS目录是/user/hadoop/hive/warehouse，可以通过hive.metastore.warehouse.dir参数进行配置（hive-site.xml中配置）
- 2.Table: Hive 中的表又分为内部表和外部表 ,Hive 中的每张表对应于HDFS上的一个目录，HDFS目录为：/user/hadoop/hive/warehouse/[databasename.db]/table
- 3.Partition:分区，每张表中可以加入一个分区或者多个，方便查询，提高效率；并且HDFS上会有对应的分区目录：
/user/hadoop/hive/warehouse/[databasename.db]/table - 4.Bucket(桶)：暂且不讲
DDL操作(Data Definition Language)
参考官方文档： DDL文档
HiveQL DDL statements are documented here, including:
- CREATE DATABASE/SCHEMA, TABLE, VIEW, FUNCTION, INDEX
- DROP DATABASE/SCHEMA, TABLE, VIEW, INDEX
- TRUNCATE TABLE
- ALTER DATABASE/SCHEMA, TABLE, VIEW
- MSCK REPAIR TABLE (or ALTER TABLE RECOVER PARTITIONS)
- SHOW DATABASES/SCHEMAS, TABLES, TBLPROPERTIES, VIEWS, PARTITIONS, FUNCTIONS, INDEX[ES], COLUMNS, CREATE TABLE
- DESCRIBE DATABASE/SCHEMA, table_name, view_name
一.基于数据库的DDL操作
1.创建数据库（Create Database）
- 下面是官网上为我们列出的语法：
Create Database CREATE (DATABASE|SCHEMA) [IF NOT EXISTS] database_name [COMMENT database_comment] [LOCATION hdfs_path] [WITH DBPROPERTIES (property_name=property_value, ...)];IF NOT EXISTS：加上这句话代表判断数据库是否存在，不存在就会创建，存在就不会创建（生产环境建议使用）。
COMMENT：数据库的描述
LOCATION：创建数据库的地址，不加默认在/user/hive/warehouse/路径下
WITH DBPROPERTIES：数据库的属性
hive> CREATE DATABASE hive1;
OK
hive> CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS hive2
> COMMENT "this is ruoze database"
> WITH DBPROPERTIES ("creator"="ruoze", "date"="2018-08-08");
OK
hive> CREATE DATABASE hive3 LOCATION '/db_hive3';
OK
hive> show databases;
OK
default
hive1
hive2
hive3

- 下面是官网上为我们列出的语法：
SHOW (DATABASES|SCHEMAS) [LIKE 'identifier_with_wildcards'];hive> show databases;
OK
default
hive1
hive2
hive3
Time taken: 0.047 seconds, Fetched: 4 row(s)

Time taken: 0.037 seconds, Fetched: 3 row(s)3.查询数据库信息（Describe Database）
- 下面是官网上为我们列出的语法：
DESCRIBE DATABASE [EXTENDED] db_name;
--describe 可简写为descDESCRIBE DATABASE db_name：查看数据库的描述信息和文件目录位置路径信息；
EXTENDED：加上数据库键值对的属性信息。
hive> desc database hive1;

Time taken: 0.031 seconds, Fetched: 1 row(s)4.删除数据库（Drop Database）
- 下面是官网上为我们列出的语法：
DROP (DATABASE|SCHEMA) [IF EXISTS] database_name [RESTRICT|CASCADE];RESTRICT：默认是restrict，如果该数据库还有表存在则报错；
CASCADE：级联删除数据库(当数据库还有表时，级联删除表后再删除数据库) –生产尽量不用。
hive> drop database test;
OK
Time taken: 0.094 seconds5.修改数据库信息（Alter Database）
- 下面是官网上为我们列出的语法：
ALTER (DATABASE|SCHEMA) database_name SET DBPROPERTIES (property_name=property_value, ...); -- (Note: SCHEMA added in Hive 0.14.0)
ALTER (DATABASE|SCHEMA) database_name SET OWNER [USER|ROLE] user_or_role;
-- (Note: Hive 0.13.0 and later; SCHEMA added in Hive 0.14.0)
ALTER (DATABASE|SCHEMA) database_name SET LOCATION hdfs_path;
-- (Note: Hive 2.2.1, 2.4.0 and later)（Note：表示对于版本进行的修改）
hive> alter database hive2 set dbproperties ("update"="jepson");
OK
Time taken: 0.094 seconds
hive> alter database hive2 set owner user hive;

Time taken: 0.072 seconds
# 修改前

Time taken: 0.034 seconds, Fetched: 1 row(s)6.切换数据库（Use Database）
- 下面是官网上为我们列出的语法：
USE database_name;hive> use hive1;
OK
Time taken: 0.044 seconds
hive> use default;
OK
Time taken: 0.047 seconds二.基于表的DDL操作
1.创建表（Create Table）
- 下面是官网上为我们列出的语法：
CREATE [TEMPORARY] [EXTERNAL] TABLE [IF NOT EXISTS] [db_name.]table_name -- (Note: TEMPORARY available in Hive 0.14.0 and later)
[(col_name data_type [COMMENT col_comment], ... [constraint_specification])]
[COMMENT table_comment]
[PARTITIONED BY (col_name data_type [COMMENT col_comment], ...)]
[CLUSTERED BY (col_name, col_name, ...) [SORTED BY (col_name [ASC|DESC], ...)] INTO num_buckets BUCKETS]
[SKEWED BY (col_name, col_name, ...) -- (Note: Available in Hive 0.10.0 and later)]
ON ((col_value, col_value, ...), (col_value, col_value, ...), ...)
[STORED AS DIRECTORIES]
[
[ROW FORMAT row_format]
[STORED AS file_format]
| STORED BY 'storage.handler.class.name' [WITH SERDEPROPERTIES (...)] -- (Note: Available in Hive 0.6.0 and later)
]
[LOCATION hdfs_path]
[TBLPROPERTIES (property_name=property_value, ...)] -- (Note: Available in Hive 0.6.0 and later)
[AS select_statement]; -- (Note: Available in Hive 0.5.0 and later; not supported for external tables)- Hive从0.14.0开始提供创建临时表的功能，表只对当前session有效，session退出后，表自动删除。
语法：
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE ...注意点：
- 如果创建的临时表表名已存在，那么当前session引用到该表名时实际用的是临时表，只有drop或rename临时表名才能使用原始表；
- 临时表限制：不支持分区字段和创建索引。
hive> use default;
OK
Time taken: 0.047 seconds
hive> CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE temporary_table (
> id int,
> name string);
OK
Time taken: 0.242 seconds
hive> show tables;
OK
temporary_table
Time taken: 0.044 seconds, Fetched: 1 row(s)
# 退出重新进
hive> use default;
OK
Time taken: 1.054 seconds
hive> show tables;
OK
Time taken: 0.559 seconds- Hive上有两种类型的表，一种是Managed Table(默认的)，另一种是External Table（加上EXTERNAL关键字）。它俩的主要区别在于：当我们drop表时，Managed Table会同时删去data（存储在HDFS上）和meta data（存储在MySQL），而External Table只会删meta data。
hive> use default;
OK
Time taken: 1.054 seconds
hive> show tables;
OK
Time taken: 0.559 seconds
# 创建内部表和外部表
hive> create table managed_table(
> id int,
> name string
> );
OK
Time taken: 0.677 seconds
hive> create external table external_table(
> id int,
> name string
> );
OK
Time taken: 0.146 seconds
hive> show tables;
OK
external_table
managed_table

ERROR:

先看看官网对于ROW FORMAT的描述
: DELIMITED
[FIELDS TERMINATED BY char [ESCAPED BY char]] [COLLECTION ITEMS TERMINATED BY char]
[MAP KEYS TERMINATED BY char]
[LINES TERMINATED BY char]
[NULL DEFINED AS char]
-- (Note: Available in Hive 0.13 and later)
| SERDE serde_name [WITH SERDEPROPERTIES (property_name=property_value, property_name=property_value, ...)]-
先看看官网给我们的解释：用户在建表的时候可以自定义 SerDe 或者使用自带的 SerDe。如果没有指定 ROW FORMAT 或者 ROW FORMAT DELIMITED，将会使用自带的 SerDe。在建表的时候，用户还需要为表指定列，用户在指定表的列的同时也会指定自定义的 SerDe，Hive 通过 SerDe 确定表的具体的列的数据。
-
那么问题又来了上面这句话又是什么意思呢？
让我们来一起看看到底是神马东东：
DELIMITED：分隔符（可以自定义分隔符）；
FIELDS TERMINATED BY char:每个字段之间使用的分割；
例：-FIELDS TERMINATED BY ‘/n’ 字段之间的分隔符为/n;
COLLECTION ITEMS TERMINATED BY char:集合中元素与元素（array）之间使用的分隔符（collection单例集合的跟接口）；
MAP KEYS TERMINATED BY char：字段是K-V形式指定的分隔符；
LINES TERMINATED BY char：每条数据之间由换行符分割（默认[ /n ]）。 - 一般情况下LINES TERMINATED BY char我们就使用默认的换行符/n，只需要指定FIELDS TERMINATED BY char。

2.DROP TABLE删除此表的元数据和数据。如果配置了垃圾箱（并且未指定PURGE），则实际将数据移至.Trash / Current目录。元数据完全丢失。
