I haven't seen this specific problem, but I have had problems importing large tables with other errors. Would it be possible for MonetDB to return a more informative error message? Maybe the line number of the offending line?? -----Original Message----- From: users-list [mailto:users-list-bounces+david.b.anderson=citi.com@monetdb.org] On Behalf Of Mahmoud Mohsen Sent: Friday, August 18, 2017 5:55 AM To: users-list@monetdb.org Cc: gabrielcampero@gmail.com Subject: failed to import record too long: Loading 1.5 Terabyte table Hello, I'm trying to load a table with 1.5 Terabytes of data, the command I'm using COPY INTO lineitem FROM '/vol1/tpch-dbgen/2000/lineitem.tbl' USING DELIMITERS '|', ' ' LOCKED; The physical memory I'm using is 256G, the swap is 2.2 terabytes, the dbfarm is located within area has 4 Terabytes of free storage.
