Hi,

I wrote a shell script to merge all the csv files into one.All the multiple csv files have the same number of columns .The issue i see let's say i merge 10 files all the 10 files header records are also merging.I want only one header row as all the headers are the same.Can anyone please advise.

below is the concatenation command i am using to merge the files but i need to have only one header row.

cat $working/text_data*.csv > $working/text_data.csv

Thanks,

1) Problem & solution have nothing to do with Oracle.
2) the additional rows or records do not change what gets loaded into the DB
3) the desired results can be achieved by using wc -l & tail commands
