Generated Class Names
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By default, classes are named after the table they represent. e.g.,
+sqoop --table foo+ will generate a file named +foo.java+. You can
override the generated class name with the +--class-name+ argument.

----
$ sqoop --connect jdbc:mysql://database.example.com/employees \
  --table employee_names --class-name com.example.EmployeeNames
----
_This generates a file named +com/example/EmployeeNames.java+_

If you want to specify a package name for generated classes, but
still want them to be named after the table they represent, you
can instead use the argument +--package-name+:

----
$ sqoop --connect jdbc:mysql://database.example.com/employees \
  --table employee_names --package-name com.example
----
_This generates a file named +com/example/employee_names.java+_
