Navin_C · June 2013

Hello, I have a scenario where in I need to load table from flat file using COPY command The file has just one column the table has 5 columns first column needs to be loaded form the flat file and 3 column need to be hardoced( with some values) and last column is a sysdate(). Can anybody help me to achieve this. I wonder how copy statement can hardcode the value for specific columns.

Hi Navin, You can do it like this copy test(c1, c2 as '2', c3 as '3', c4 as '4', c5 as '5') from 'FILE"; Where c1 that has nothing as will be the one that load the data from the file. Hope this helps, Eugenia
