Hi,
My column headers are in single line only i.e.
Column1,Column2,Column3,Column4,Column5
"colonedata1","coltwodata1","-35.924476","138.5987123",""
"colonedata2","coltwodata2","-27.4372536","153.0304583","137"
colonedata3","coltwodata3","-35.2793885","149.1233503","134"
"colonedata4","coltwodata4","-33.8724176","151.2067579",""

As you advised to put quotes as string delimeter for each column data and
ran the select query.
attaching the data file too .

Appreciate the help !

Thanks,
Divya
