Yes. But the problem occurs before any import can occur (see below).

The Category table is hierarchical. I am trying to import the 
hierarchical structure from a text file. It all works fine in 1.11.

I try to create the cursor for import with the SQL above. But it gives 
an error - an exception actually. Here is the exact text:

Exception Message: Identifier "ParentPtr" is ambiguous. Found in 
"(null)" and "(null)".
Exception Error Number: 591119

I hope that helps you understand because I don't either!
