Loading CSV data to Snowflake table - snowflake-cloud-data-platform

Question

Column splits into multiple columns when trying to load the following data in to SnowFlake table since its CSV file.
Column Data :
{"Department":"Mens
Wear","Departmentid":"10.1;20.1","customername":"john4","class":"tops wear","subclass":"sweat shirts","product":"North & Face 2 Bangle","style":"Sweat shirt hoodie - Large - Black"}
Is there any other way to load the data in to single column.

Answer 1

The best solution would be use a different delimiter instead of comma in your CSV file. If it's not possible, then you can ingest the data using a non-existing delimiter to get the whole line as one column, and then parse it. Of course it won't be as effective as native loading:
cat test.csv
1,2020-10-12,Gokhan,{"Department":"Mens Wear","Departmentid":"10.1;20.1","customername":"john4","class":"tops wear","subclass":"sweat shirts","product":"North & Face 2 Bangle","style":"Sweat shirt hoodie - Large - Black"}
create file format csvfile type=csv FIELD_DELIMITER='NONEXISTENT';
select $1 from #my_stage (file_format => csvfile );
create table testtable( id number, d1 date, name varchar, v variant );
copy into testtable from (
select
split( split($1,',{')[0], ',' )[0],
split( split($1,',{')[0], ',' )[1],
split( split($1,',{')[0], ',' )[2],
parse_json( '{' || split($1,',{')[1] )
from #my_stage (file_format => csvfile )
);
select * from testtable;
