63834 - SAS/ACCESS® Interface to Hadoop ignores blank values when you use a WHERE clause with the SQL procedure and the option DBIDIRECTEXEC

Problem Note 63834: SAS/ACCESS® Interface to Hadoop ignores blank values when you use a WHERE clause with the SQL procedure and the option DBIDIRECTEXEC

Blank values are ignored when you subset an Apache Hive table with a WHERE clause in a PROC SQL statement with the option DBIDIRECTEXEC enabled.

The following example shows syntax that might return incorrect results from Hive:

option dbidirectexec;

proc sql;

   select * from hivelib.table-name where variable = '';

quit;

To circumvent the problem, use a DATA step that is similar to the following (and update the italicized parts of the syntax with your correct values):

data zzz;

   set hivelib.table-name;

   where variable = '';

run;
