Using the -password-file option in Apache Sqoop instead of the -P option helps to prevent the display of sensitive information, such as passwords, during command execution. The -password-file option allows you to specify a file that contains your password, which is read by Sqoop without being displayed on the screen. This makes it more secure, especially in environments where others may be able to see your terminal output.
