Hello,
By uploading a big flat file (1.5 GB) into HANA the columns are only recognized as varchar and I don’t have the possibility to change the data type.
I've already tried this: creating a table with the correct type (currencies as decimal (17,2) and quantities as decimal (17,2). But by uploading the table, the mapping doesn’t work. The error message said that I could not map from varchar to decimal. I tried with all numeric data type and it’s not working.
The problem is that the table is quite big. I cannot open it in excel or in notepad, notepad++, etc.
Could you please tell me how I can convert the data type of columns to a numeric type (integer or decimal)?
Big thanks!
Regards
Sylvan
