Hi Szehon,

I have following records in my File, I want to load the cust table such a
way that the records are partitioned based on profession

4000001,Kristina,Chung,55,Pilot
4000002,Paige,Chen,74,Teacher
4000003,Sherri,Melton,34,Firefighter
4000004,Gretchen,Hill,66,Computer hardware engineer
4000005,Karen,Puckett,74,Lawyer
4000006,Patrick,Song,42,Veterinarian
4000007,Elsie,Hamilton,43,Pilot
4000008,Hazel,Bender,63,Carpenter
4000009,Malcolm,Wagner,39,Artist


The cust_prof values can be Pilot,Teacher etc.

The command  load data local inpath './custs' into table custs
partition(cust_prof=1); doesnt work that way
