CSV file load fails in SQLcl 26.1.2.0

OyvindIseneJun 10 2026

A CSV file from Kaggle that loads without any problems in version 25.4.1.0 and earlier now fails with this error in version 26.1.2.0 build: 26.1.2.132.1334 (only the last lines shown):

#INFO COLUMN 25: number_of_reviews => NUMBER_OF_REVIEWS

#ERROR Create table error.

#ERROR Index -1 out of bounds for length 25

SEVERE: Load terminated

If I create the table empty by using previous version the file loads without any errors, so it looks to be in the scanning phase. The file is from Kaggle: https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/ruthgn/beer-profile-and-ratings-data-set?resource=download. Both of these commands fails:

load beers beer_profile_and_ratings.csv new

load beers beer_profile_and_ratings.csv show_ddl

Once the table exists this command work fine in latest version too:

load beers beer_profile_and_ratings.csv
