Title: Flat File Source Patterns Authors: Andy Leonard; Matt Masson; Timothy J. Mitchell; Jessica M.

Flat files come in all shapes, sizes, and types. There are no rowlength limitations. File size is limited by the maximum size allowed by the operating system. When examining flat file types, there are two initial considerations: file format and schema. Common file formats of flat file sources include: Comma-Separated Values (CSV) Tab-Delimited File (TDF) Fixed Width These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
