Some of the current CSV load behaviour is incorrect and doesn't respect the SDMX-CSV standard - SDMXRI-1397
The following behaviour as defined in the SDMX-CSV standard is currently not supported, but needs to be supported:
-
Optional attributes are NOT required and imports without optional attributes must be accepted.
Example that currently wrongly fails:
Structures: TN1-MILLED_RICE-1.0-all_structures.xml
Data: TN1_MILLED_RICE_1.0_-_without_attributes.csv -
Additional columns (others than dataflow, dimensions, measure and attributes) are allowed and imports with such additional columns must be accepted. Those columns should simply be ignored. -
The order of columns is free, except for the dataflow column that is always the first column. Imports with arbitrary column orders, where at least the dataflow column is placed first, must be accepted.
