Syntax
~~~~~~

----
$ sqoop codegen (generic-args) (codegen-args)
$ sqoop-codegen (generic-args) (codegen-args)
----

Although the Hadoop generic arguments must preceed any codegen arguments,
the codegen arguments can be entered in any order with respect to one
another.

include::hive-args.txt[]

If Hive arguments are provided to the code generation tool, Sqoop
generates a file containing the HQL statements to create a table and
load data.

Example Invocations

Recreate the record interpretation code for the +employees+ table of a
corporate database:

----
$ sqoop codegen --connect jdbc:mysql://db.example.com/corp \
    --table employees
