[MonetDB-users] how to load NaN as REAL
I have a csv file and some columns are defined as REAL. The values some time have 'NaN' so when trying to load in the db it says cannot load NaN into REAL. COPY 1000000 OFFSET 2 RECORDS into mytable from 'C:\temp.csv' delimiters ',', '\n'; SQLException:importTable:value 'NaN' from line 11 field 10 not inserted, expecting type real failed to import table -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/how-to-load-NaN-as-REAL-tp33107777p33107777.html Sent from the monetdb-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

NaN support in MonetDB is currently very poor to non-existent. It is probably possible to produce them, but it looks like importing NaNs is not possible, and it is also likely that calculations involving NaNs don't work as well as one might wish. -- Sjoerd Mullender
Do you want to map the NaN's to NULL's?
