I want to know if it can be queried about the columns in the hive ith term rehiliare selection for the starting columns of some description?
example:
table with this list of names of columns
pattern1 pattern2 motif3 balab1 balabal2 ma1 ma2 ma3
select (an expression for that selection columns beginners with pattern)
from table
Thank you
I believe you are looking to select columns based on regular expression.
Well below works:
set hive.support.quoted.identifiers=none;
select `patt.*` from test_table;
Above code will return columns pattern1 pattern2 among your mentioned columns "pattern1 pattern2 motif3 balab1 balabal2 ma1 ma2 ma3"
