Changelog Number 13422
Type Bug
Status Open
Affected Versions Exasol 7.0.9

Description

An IMPORT from CSV may not finish and cause the temporary volume to grow, if the following conditions are met:

  • COLUMN SEPARATOR is defined and contains multiple characters.
  • ERRORS clause is used with REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED.
  • too many errors happen
  • CSV file is large enough (e.g. containing more than 1000 rows)

Workaround

Avoid the ERRORS clause completely or set a REJECT limit.

Fix

The IMPORT works as expected.
