Example: Creating a Table Containing CSV Files

CREATE TABLE CSVFiles(id INTEGER, csvFile CLOB);

INSERT INTO CSVFiles VALUES(0, 'ItemID,ItemName,Quantity,Price;10021,Paint Brush,10,10.99;10033,Paint,3,24.99'); 

Example: Creating a Table for Split Operation Results

CREATE MULTISET TABLE csv_table(
file_id INTEGER,
csv DATASET(8000) STORAGE FORMAT CSV CHARACTER SET LATIN); 

Example: Invoking the Table Operator to Split up CSV Files

INSERT INTO csv_table
SELECT id, data FROM CSVSplit
(
ON (SELECT csvFile, id FROM CSVFiles)
RETURNS(data DATASET STORAGE FORMAT CSV CHARACTER SET LATIN)
USING SCHEMA('{"record_delimiter":";"}')
) AS T; 

Example: Selecting out Individual CSV Values

SELECT file_id, csv
FROM csv_table
ORDER BY file_id;

Result:

>    file_id csv
           0 10033,Paint,3,24.99
           0 10021,Paint Brush,10,10.99
