Write-back

The Simba Apache Spark ODBC Connector supports translation for the following syntax when connecting to a Spark Thrift Server instance that is running Spark 1.3 or later:

  • INSERT
  • CREATE
  • DROP

Spark does not support UPDATE or DELETE syntax.

If the statement contains non-standard SQL-92 syntax, then the connector is unable to translate the statement to SQL and instead falls back to using HiveQL.
