FDELIMITEDPAIRPARSER

Parses delimited data files. This parser provides a subset of the functionality in the parser fdelimitedparser. Use the fdelimitedpairparser when the data you are loading specifies pairs of column names with data in each row.

Parameters

delimiter		
CHAR

[Optional] Specifies a single-character delimiter.

Default value:' '

record_terminator
CHAR

[Optional] Specifies a single-character record terminator.

DDefault value: newline

trim
BOOLEAN

[Optional] Trims white space from header names and key values.

Default value: true

Examples

The following example illustrates creating a sample flex table for simple delimited data, with two real columns, eventId and priority.

  1. Create a table:

    => create flex table CEFData(eventId int default(eventId::int), priority int default(priority::int) );
    CREATE TABLE
    
  2. Load a sample delimited OpenText ArcSight log file into the CEFData table, using the fcefparser:

    => copy CEFData from '/home/release/kmm/flextables/sampleArcSight.txt' parser fdelimitedpairparser();
    Rows Loaded | 200
    
  3. After loading the sample data file, use maptostring() to display the virtual columns in the __raw__ column of CEFData:

    => select maptostring(__raw__) from CEFData limit 1;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        maptostring

  4. Select the eventID and priority real columns, along with two virtual columns, atz and destinationgeoregioncode:

    =>  select eventID, priority, atz, destinationgeoregioncode from CEFData limit 10;
      eventID   | priority |         atz         | destinationgeoregioncode
