Situation - I have a data file I want to load, but it has additional data that doesn't fit my table and if possible I don't want to have to change the table structure. So I look at the docs for LOAD TABLE and there we are - just what I need:
However, what ever I do, I don't seem to be able to have more that one column ignored. If I use filler() more than once I get a duplicate column error. Is there away of getting columns ignored without hitting the Column names cannot be repeated restriction ? Thanks v10.0.1 |

Well, I'm quite sure that I have often used LOAD TABLE with several filler() columns in V10/v11 without any problem. So I guess the problem might have a different cause...
Please provide some sample code and version info
Just to confirm my first comment: Yes, with V10.0.1 and V11.0.1, we definetely have regularly used import procedures with several "filler()" arguments in one single LOAD TABLE statement.
I agree... I tried using filler() multiple times and it worked just fine in 10.0.1. I would need to see sample code in order to determine what problem you are running into.
Hi - thanks everybody for the feedback - how people describe is it is certainly how I expected it to work. I've worked around the problem for now (not hard just adding dummy columns) but I'll put together a demonstration of my problem that doesn't involve customer data and post it during the holidays.
