I'm setting up a control file to load records. One of the fields is a
VARCHAR(1400) and has been giving me problems:
LOAD
INSERT
INTO TABLE X
APPEND
FIELDS
(FieldA TERMINATED BY '|',
FieldB TERMINATED BY '|',
Problem TERMINATED BY '|'
)
I'm taking the default for field "problem" here so it is CHAR.
However, I get the error that column is too large, so I'm guessing the
CHAR
here only allows around 255 chars. My data is around 500 chars long.
I haven't had any luck declaring something like Problem VARCHAR (1400) TERMINATED BY '|' or Problem VARCHAR TERMINATED BY '|'
How can I declare a Varchar? What syntax would work? Received on Fri May 28 1999 - 14:34:08 CDT
