Full File Example

The following example is the way a full file might look. We have removed many lines from each group to shorten it up.

Since this file was created by an Oracle extract, it contains lines that indicate how many rows were selected. The import program (prec_update.php) flushes the input buffer whenever a blank line is encountered so this does not present a problem.

The semi-colon indicates to the import program that the sql line is complete, and to execute it.

Please note that this example shows all sections of the file. In a normal file, all sections might not be present. In particular, the type '7' records, which are the links to officeholder's web sites would not be present, but would be in a separate file as these are normally created manually.
