Need help with a script to process a CSV file using SED and AWK
I get a CSV file every day with 2 columns and multiple rows
ex:
date1,date2 ( both the fields are varchar fields)
This data has to be updated in a table which is being done manually and i want to automate that.
1. I have to select all the data from the prod table( 2 columns { date1,date2}) into a staging table.
2. after that i have to insert the values from the CSV file into the table
3. run some validation procedures and then copy this data into prod table.
environment : sybase
OS: AIX(ksh)
I am having trouble getting data from CSV into to sybase table.
I tried to format the CSV file using SED and AWK with each column seperated by tab space and line seperated by newline.
"sed '1d' dates.txt | awk -F "," '{printf "%s\t%s\n",$1,$2}' > trial.txt"
but that gives me an when I bcp data into table. something to do with format.
any one has any idea what the right format to insert into 2 varchar columns?
or is there any other better way of doing this?

Both the fields are datetime fields.
I was thinking about storing the fields into variables and inserting these into the table using a loop.
any ideas about that ?
