title: Skip Columns During Teradata Table Import From CSV Using SQL Assistant
body: <p>I have a CSV file with data I need to import to a Teradata table, but it has a useless column that I would like to exclude from the import. The useless column is the first column, so the CSV rows are set up like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>'UselessData','Data','Data','Data'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Typically, I would import using SQL Assistant by choosing File -> Import Data from the menu and using the basic query:</p>
  
  <pre><code>INSERT INTO TableName VALUES (?,?,?,?)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this will collect the extraneous useless data in Column 1. Is there a way to specify that an import take only certain columns or send the useless column to <code>NULL</code>?</p>
