BL_REJECT_LIMIT=number

Syntax Description

number: specifies the reject limit count either as a percentage (1 to 99) of total rows or as a number of rows.

Details

To specify this option, you must first set BULKLOAD=YES and then set BL_REJECT_TYPE=.

When BL_REJECT_TYPE=PERCENT, the percentage of rows per segment is calculated based on the Greenplum database configuration parameter (gp_reject_percent_threshold). The default value for this parameter is 300.

Input rows with format errors are discarded if the reject limit count is not reached on any Greenplum segment instance during the load operation.

Constraint errors result when violations occur to such constraints as NOT NULL, CHECK, or UNIQUE. A single constraint error causes the entire external table operation to fail. If the reject limit is not reached, rows without errors are processed and rows with errors are discarded.
