HI,

I have created foreign table to read the data from the CSV file which is |
separated.
while reading the data from foreign table if there is any error in any row
of the file the data is not getting loaded. I want to avoid that by skiping
that row and continue with the next row.
How can i achieve this.

The table structure is as follows:

CREATE FOREIGN TABLE location_ext
(
id VARCHAR(80),
name VARCHAR(200),
description VARCHAR(400)
) SERVER file_server
OPTIONS ( filename '/home/ubuntu/location.txt', FORMAT 'csv', delimiter
'|', header 'true' );

and sample data is

id|name|description
1|South Wing, second floor|Second floor of the Old South Wing, formerly in
use by Psychiatry
2|South Wing Neuro OR 1 Old South Wing, Neuro Radiology Operation Room 1 on
second floor
3|Patient's Home|Patient's Home

if there is an error in 2 row than while reading the data it should skip it
and load the 1 and 3 row.
I also want to capture the error row (2 row) as an exception.

Regards,

Gaurav
