Hello,

A new question has been asked in "MariaDB Documentation" by martyheitzmann: -------------------------------- I just started using mariadb. I created two tables so far : the first one - no issues. But, when I try to select * from the 2nd table, the primary key field looks incomplete:

+--------+--------+---------------+----------------+ | teamid | league | teamname1 | teamname2 | +--------+--------+---------------+----------------+ | | A | Anaheim | Angels |ARI | N | Arizona | Diamondbacks | | N | Atlanta | Braves | | A | Baltimore | Orioles | | A | Boston | Red Sox | | A | Chicago | White Sox | N | Chicago | Cubs ... (look past the copy/paste formatting issues please)

The teamid column is not printed out for every teamid, and based on the '|' separator, it looks like the field has different lengths, but it's just a char(3) fixed-length. I tried defining the field as nvarchar(3), and char(3), with the same results. I thought it had to do with the file from which the data was imported, but it contains no control characters. It's a ':' separated field that looks like: ANA:A:Anaheim:Angels BAL:A:Baltimore:Orioles BOS:A:Boston:Red Sox CHA:A:Chicago:White Sox ... file imported using :

LOAD DATA INFILE '<file>' INTO TABLE Tteams FIELDS TERMINATED BY ':'; thoughts?
