Hi Mark
Thanks for your reply.
I have changed my script, and removed the '\x09' from each column and added the code below after the from clause
DELIMITED BY '\x09'
ROW DELIMITED BY '\x0a'
I now get the error "The row delimiter must be distinct from all column delimiters."
The Skip 1 is to skip the header row, i replaced that with "HEADER SKIP 1"
Thanks
Ruan
