Hello,
I am trying to load data from a text file that has single quote character in its name into a table:
"C:\Program Files\MonetDB\MonetDB5\mclient.bat" --port=50000 --user=monetdb
password: Welcome to mclient, the MonetDB/SQL interactive terminal (Jul2015-SP2) Database: MonetDB v11.21.13 (Jul2015-SP2), 'soft10_20160318_172621' Type \q to quit, ? for a list of available commands auto commit mode: on sql> sql> sql>COPY 120 OFFSET 2 RECORDS INTO "observations_to_score1" FROM 'C:\tmp\sachin's_data_with_requested_column_03_03_2016.csv' USING DELIMITERS ',', '\n', '"' LOCKED; more> more>
Everything works fine if there is no single quote character in the name of the file:
sql>COPY 120 OFFSET 2 RECORDS INTO "observations_to_score1" FROM 'C:\tmp\sachins_data_with_requested_column_03_03_2016.csv' USING DELIMITERS ',', '\n', '"' LOCKED; 120 affected rows (12.3s)
I was trying to precede the single quote character by a \ (backslash) or to double it, but it still did not work:
sql>COPY 120 OFFSET 2 RECORDS INTO "observations_to_score1" FROM 'C:\tmp\sachin's_data_with_requested_column_03_03_2016.csv' USING DELIMITERS ',', '\n', '"' LOCKED; could not open file 'C:\tmp\sachin's_data_with_requested_column_03_03_2016.csv': No such file or directory
