If the source data is in a delimited text file, options for parsing the file can be specified (see Delimited Text Options for details):
  • Delimiter - select the character that delimits field values in the source file:
    • | - default delimiter for .psv (pipe-separated value) files
    • \t - (tab) default delimiter for .tsv (tab-separated value) files
    • , - default delimiter for .csv (comma-separated value) files and all other types of text files
  • Escape Character - select the character used to escape special characters (like the field delimiter) found within field values; e.g., a \ might be used to escape commas within field values in a .csv file
  • Comment Identifier - select the character(s) with which comment lines within the source file begin
  • Quote Character - select the character used to quote field values; e.g., a " might be used to quote field values containing commas in a .csv file
  • Null Identifier - select the character(s) used to identify null field values
  • Has Header - check the box if the source file contains a header row at the top
Once the source file and parameters have been selected, click Next to proceed to the Destination selection page.
