Hi Patrick,
You can write a table function to help you out here. Your table function
will open your file, throw away the header, and then loop through the
lines in the file. I would recommend extending something like
FlatFileVTI (in Derby's demo directory). You can look at PropertyFileVTI
(in the same directory subtree), which will show you how to extend
FlatFileVTI. Once you declare your table function (let's call it
MyFileReader), you can then use it to populate your table as follows:
insert into STAFF
select * from table( MyFileReader( 'myfile.del' ) ) s
Hope this helps,
-Rick

I have a comma delimited file that contains a header in the first row
of the file. The header contains column names. If I manually create a
new file without the header, I can successfully import the new file with
CALL
SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_IMPORT_TABLE(null,'STAFF','myfile.del',null,null,null,0);
Creating the new file in my Java application is too time consuming for
it to be a good solution. Is there a way of importing a delimited file
with a header in the first row? Or, a way to import and ignore the
first row of the file being imported?
Thanks
