An object name can contain SQL wildcard characters (%, _, [ ]), with the backslash (\) as the escape character. For details, see Pattern-Matching Predicates in the SQL Reference Guide.
-wildcard

The file can consist of one or more ASCII lines with the following format characteristics:
• Each line can be up to 256 bytes (not characters) in length. Longer lines may cause errors.
