SQOOP SQLSERVER Failed to load driver “ appropriate connection manager is not being set”

Question

I downloaded sqljdbc4.jar. I\'m invoking sqoop like so from the folder (where the jar is stored):

sqoop list-tables --driver com.microso

Answer 1

In vast majority of cases using parameter --driver is not required and even more will lead to an undesirable behaviour. I would strongly recommend dropping this argument entirely from your command line. Check out Connectors vs Drivers blog post for more details.

Also in addition you are specifying a nonexistent JDBC Driver class. The correct one is:

com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver

You can see it in the official docs, whereas you are specifying

com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver

Notice the different order of jdbc and sqlserver packages. This is one of the reasons why it's recommended to not use the --driver option at all.
