You can use
COPY 1000000 OFFSET 2 RECORDS into mytable from 'C:\data.csv' delimiters ',', '\n';
Note that its an offset into the file with records numbers starting at 1.
The documentation at http://www.monetdb.org/Documentation/Manuals/SQLreference/CopyInto hints at it, but is incomplete. The documentation at the monetdb xquery site looks correct. http://monetdb-xquery.org/SQL/Documentation/Data-Manipulation.html I'll post a bug report.

Today installed monetdb for first time and wanted to play with some of the features but stuck with loading the file. Excuse me if this looks too basic.
There is a 3GB csv file (1M rows and 400 columns). I am trying load in monetdb on my windows 7 machine. I first created a table mostly data is numeric exect for few that are metadata strings. How do i load this file without removing the header. The error says column_name not of type integer since the column_name is the actual header string but the values are integers. I can remove the header manually before loading but if i plan to scale then it is not a good option.
Is there a way to say load "n" records from file starting at 'x' to 'y'? or ignore first line.
COPY 1000000 RECORDS into mytable from 'C:\data.csv' delimiters ',', '\n';
Thanks.
