MESSAGE LOG contents and format

The MESSAGE LOG file contains row and column information for each integrity constraint violation logged. For a given load, there are three types of messages logged: a timestamped header, row information, and a timestamped trailer. The header and trailer appear once per load. The row information appears once for each integrity constraint violation logged.

The format of the header message is as follows:

<datetime load started> LOAD TABLE <table-name> Integrity Constraint Violations

For example:

2002-02-24 23:04:31 LOAD TABLE customer Integrity Constraint Violations

The row information message consists of three parts:

For example,

1267 DATA VALUE 4
3216 UNIQUE 1
3216 NULL 3
3216 NULL 6
9677 NULL 1

The format of the trailer message is as follows:

<datetime load completed> LOAD TABLE <table-name> Completed

For example:

2002-02-24 23:05:43 LOAD TABLE customer Completed

NoteThe number of rows (errors reported) in the MESSAGE LOG file can exceed the IGNORE CONSTRAINT option limit, because the load is performed by multiple threads running in parallel. More than one thread may report that the number of constraint violations has exceeded the specified limit.
