Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-4555:
----------------------------------------
Hi Danoja, am I doing the right steps to see the error you are seeing?
I did the following:
1) Started with a clean trunk
2) Downloaded and applied Varags.diff
3) Downloaded petlist.csv and repro.java, and built repro.java
4) Ran repro.
I get:
[bpendleton@Fedora22 DERBY-4555]$ rm -rf derbyDB/ ; java -cp
/home/bpendleton/derby/trunk/classes:. repro
repro starting in embedded mode
Created database derbyDB
Created table A
java.sql.SQLException: Import error on line 1 of file petlist.csv: Invalid
character string format for type INTEGER.
repro finished
> Expand SYSCS_IMPORT_TABLE to accept CSV file with header lines

> The SYSCS_IMPORT_TABLE (and SYSCS_IMPORT_DATA) function allow import of data
> from external resources. In general, they can process CSV files that created
> with various tools - with one exception: the header line.
> While there is no accepted standard, most tools will include a header line in
> the CSV file with column names. This convention is supported in Excel and
> many other tools.
> My Request: extend the SYSCS_IMPORT_TABLe and SYSCS_IMPORT_DATA (and other
> related procedures) to include an extra indicator for the number of header
> lines to be ignored.
> As an extra bonus it will be help is the SYSCS_IMPORT_DATA will accept column
> names (instead of column indexes) in the 'COLUMNINDEXES' arguments. E.g., it
> should be possible to indicate COLUMNINDEXES of '1,3,sales,5,'. This feature
> will make it significantly easier to handle cases where the external input
> files is extended to include additional columns.
