I want to import data from a csv file into redshift. CSV format:
col1 , col2 , col3 , col4 - , - , - , - - , - , - , -
Here is my import command:
COPY myTable FROM 'file.csv' CSV DELIMITER AS ',' IGNOREHEADER AS 1 ;
The problem I have is that sometimes, my file has only col1, col2 and col3. Is it possible to execute the COPY and add null
for the missing values?

Answer
Yes, but must be explicit about it:
COPY mytable (col1, col2, col3) FROM 'file.csv' (FORMAT 'csv', HEADER);
The missing col2
will be filled with its default value (NULL unless you defined one).
