Mapping headers

Open dclong opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

I think it's a good idea to create a mapping of headers (to unique valid field identifiers). The reason is that the header of a structured text is not always valid SQL identifiers. And I've seen duplicated field names in practice. Mapping the headers to unique valid SQL identifiers can help resolve the issues.

True. There are two parts to it actually: The first part is detecting problematic column names, which exists, but the duplicate-column check was implicit (I've just pushed a change to the master which makes it more explicit and managed). The second part is what you're referring to, allowing to provide the column names externally. This is indeed a good feature.
