9.2.3.3 Parsing Steps
The steps in delimited parsing are:
- The parser first reads and validates the metadata columns for each record.
- This provides the table name, which can then be used to look up column definitions for that table in the source definitions file.
- If a definition cannot be found for a table, the processing will stop.
- Otherwise the columns are parsed and output to the trail in the order and format defined by the source definitions.
