DERBY-4555: Expand SYSCS_IMPORT_TABLE to accept CSV file with header lines
DERBY-6895: Document new system procedures
This patch was contributed by Danoja Dias (danojadias at gmail dot com)
This patch adds two sections to the Reference Manual describing the new
SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_IMPORT_DATA_BULK and SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_IMPORT_TABLE_BULK
system procedures.
It also makes small clarifying changes to the documentation of the
existing SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_IMPORT_DATA and
SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_IMPORT_DATA_LOBS_FROM_EXTFILE system procedures.

> The SYSCS_IMPORT_TABLE (and SYSCS_IMPORT_DATA) function allow import of data
> from external resources. In general, they can process CSV files that created
> with various tools - with one exception: the header line.
> While there is no accepted standard, most tools will include a header line in
> the CSV file with column names. This convention is supported in Excel and
> many other tools.
> My Request: extend the SYSCS_IMPORT_TABLe and SYSCS_IMPORT_DATA (and other
> related procedures) to include an extra indicator for the number of header
> lines to be ignored.
> As an extra bonus it will be help is the SYSCS_IMPORT_DATA will accept column
> names (instead of column indexes) in the 'COLUMNINDEXES' arguments. E.g., it
> should be possible to indicate COLUMNINDEXES of '1,3,sales,5,'. This feature
> will make it significantly easier to handle cases where the external input
> files is extended to include additional columns.
