I have been given some data in a csv file, which I need to import into my ArcSDE geodatabase. ArcGIS is having problems recognizing the field types, and is not importing some data. It is recognizing some fields as Integer, when it should have been Text.
I know that we are supposed to create a schema.ini file, which will contain the appropriate data type, like in this question.
My csv file has over 50 fields, so I was wondering if there was a way to auto-create this schema.ini file, and then edit it to the correct data types, instead of creating this file by hand, from scratch.
