The schema syntax doesn't understand DECIMAL types and unfortunately is not
reporting that fact. The best way to do imports though is to create the
table in advance and then do the IMPORT. For CSV files you can then ignore
the schema completely. See the attached script.

Subject: InstantDB: Numeric or Decimal data type import


Hello!
I'm trying to import numeric|decimal data types from an ascii file into a
instantdb table.

The schema-file contents:
 [stt.txt]
ColNameHeader=False
CharacterSet=ANSI
Format=CSVDelimited
Col1=nx Decimal(11,3)
Col2=mx Float
Col3=lx Float
Col4=dx Float
Col5=rx Float
Col6=naax Float
Col7=laax Float
Col8=sttnr Float
Col9=alter Float

The input ascii file contents:
12345678.123,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

Content of the newly created instantdb table is:

mx                lx    dx    rx naax    laax    sttnr
12.345.678    2     3     4   5         6         7

I'm wondering where the first (Col1=nx) and last column(Col9=alter) gone?

Any idea?

Thanks in advance!
