Unable to load table with WHERE condition on data field...pls help

[#1]

Hi all,

I have the following load script:

.......

SET TimestampFormat='DD-MM-YYYY';

.......

LOAD

My problem is:

If i load the table without the WHERE condition, my EVENT_DATE field is in corect format (DD-MM-YYYY).

After I put the WHERE condition, EVENT_DATE transforms to numeric format (ex: 38270)...and my WHERE condition is not working...but I don't receive any error in executing the script.

I wold like to give the condition for loading my table where EVENT_DATE>'01-01-2011' and the EVENT_DATE field format to remain the same...

Thanks a lot!

CLAIM_ID,

CLAIM_REGID,

CLAIM_STARTED,

EVENT_DATE,

INSR_TYPE FROM

EVENT_DATE > '01-01-2011';

WHERE

Hi Sandries,

Try have you tried adding a date format i.e. :

date(EVENT_DATE, 'DD-MM-YYYY') > '01-01-2011' ....

Sorry for the inconvenience of my post...It should look like:

Hi all,

I have the following load script:

.......

SET TimestampFormat='DD-MM-YYYY';
.......

LOAD

CLAIM_ID,

CLAIM_REGID,

CLAIM_STARTED,

EVENT_DATE,

INSR_TYPE

FROM

WHERE EVENT_DATE > '01-01-2011';

My problem is:

If i load the table without the WHERE condition, my EVENT_DATE field is in corect format (DD-MM-YYYY).

After I put the WHERE condition, EVENT_DATE transforms to numeric format (ex: 38270)...and my WHERE condition is not working...but I don't receive any error in executing the script.

The possible solution still applies:

CLAIM_ID,

CLAIM_REGID,

CLAIM_STARTED,

EVENT_DATE,

INSR_TYPE

FROM

WHERE date(EVENT_DATE, 'DD-MM-YYYY') > '01-01-2011';

Very nice solution.
