Subject: RE: [firebird-support] Import data from flat files


| Great, thanks.
| Setting ExternalFileAccess = full solved the problem with external
| files' permissions.
|
| I was finally able to import the Orders table in my external tables, but
| instead of returning the count of 1,500,000 rows it returns 1,175,279.
| So, I guess it missed a whole bunch of rows during the import.
|
| Now, I am trying to figure out what went wrong during the import. So, I
| want to view the first couple of rows in the table. But, it seems like
| there is no way to limit the number of rows returned by the query and it
| tries to dump all the rows at once. This is sad. Ideas?
| Thanks.

| | Hmm, I have access to a Win machine, but I need to figure out how to
| | this on Linux.
| |
| | External tables solution sounded like a good idea. But every time I
| | try to create my table using the:
| |
| | Create Table Orders External '/tmp/orders.tbl' (.....);
| |
| | It throws an error saying that "Access to external file
| | /tmp/orders.tbl is denied by server administrator". I checked the
| | read/write permissions on this file to allow reads, but still have the
|
| | same problem. Ideas?
| |
| | Thanks.

| |
| | uh, yeah... that would be a problem ;-)
| |
| | Do you have any Windows machines on the network that you could
| | transfer the data from? I always do all my 'data' work on the Windows
| | and then copy the ready file to the Linux server.
