Build Identifier:

COPY INTO table (column1, column2) got wrong result (the column list is actually ignored!)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1.create table t (f1 int, f2 int);
2.create a text file, a.csv, with 1 line: 1\t2
3.COPY INTO t(f2,f1) from '/home/data/mdb_tmp/a.csv' USING DELIMITERS '\t';
4.SELECT * from t;

Actual Results:

Got:
+------+------+
| f1 | f2 |
+======+======+
| 1 | 2 |
+------+------+

Expected Results:

But the correct result should be:
+------+------+
| f1 | f2 |
+======+======+
| 2 | 1 |
+------+------+

Because I "COPY INTO t(f2,f1)", not "COPY INTO t(f1,f2)"!

The column list after the table name isn't specifing the order (its simply (like insert into) the list of columns, which based on the name insert into that column). If you input file has a different order you should specify a header list, ie after the stdin or filename.

COPY 1 RECORDS INTO t(f1,f2) from STDIN (f2,f1) USING DELIMITERS ',';
1,2
