Suresh Thalamati commented on DERBY-378:
----------------------------------------
Import uses VTI to import data into a table from a file. Just found out
that derby does not support CLOB/BLOB data types with VTI. Any one remember
why these types are not supported ?
Currently all the columns in the import file are treated as VARCHAR type and
cast them to the appropriate column type of the table, when the insert
statement is generated. For example to import into a table T4(
create table t4( a int , b char(100)) );
INSERT INTO "T4"("A", "B") --DERBY-PROPERTIES insertMode=bulkInsert
SELECT cast(COLUMN1 AS INTEGER) , COLUMN2 from new org.apache.derby.impl.load
d.Import('c:/suresht/databases/emp.dat',null,null,null, 2 ) AS importvti ;
Clob types column can casted from VARCHAR type, performance may be bad but it
will work.
Problem with blob data type is, it can be casted from any other type.
I am kind of stuck on how to extract the binary data from an import file and
insert
into the table using the VTI, without VTI support for CLOB/BLOB types.
types.
Any ideas/suggestions ?
Thanks
