The name of the Hive database to use by default.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

When specified, the CData JDBC Driver for Apache Hive will issue a 'USE [Database]' command upon connecting to Hive. This will be the database schema used when executing queries that do not have a schema explicitly specified.

To execute queries to other schemas, the schema can be explicitly specified in the statement.

When Database is not set, the 'default' database schema will be used (no 'USE' statement is issued to Hive in this case).
