create table hive.emp(
empno int,
ename string,
job string,
mgr int,
hiredate string,
sal double,
comm double,
deptno int
)
COMMENT 'The table belong to hive database'
row format delimited fields terminated by ' ';创建了一个emp表，这个表存属于hive数据库，如果不指定就默认属于default数据库。还为这张表加了注释（The table belong to hive database），指定字段与字段之间的分隔符为 。
下面将emp.txt文件内容加载到emp中
[root@hadoop001 data]# cat emp.txt
