LOAD DATA INFILE 'thefile.csv'
INTO TABLE word
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';'
IGNORE 1 LINES
SET id = NULL;
I am a bit lost of what to do here, I thought this query would work but it doesn't. I get the error about id, which is why I thought set id = NULL would make it good but no. The point of my id row (which is AUTO_INCREMENT) is that I don't need to specify the ID. so.. ehm. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'id' at row 1
My CSV file content:
id;meaning;japanese;kanji;kana;romaji;visible;featured;image;image_author;imgauthor_link;extra
;pants;パンツ;;パンツ;pantsu;;;;;;
You must specify all column names except the id column:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'thefile.csv'
INTO TABLE word
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';'
IGNORE 1 LINES
(col1,col2,col3);
I assumed your table has (id,col1,col2,col3) columns.
You can use a two step load:
1) Load the data into a table;
2) Use INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... FROM to get your data in your table
Example:
CREATE TABLE baseData (
All your column definitions, but not your id column
);
INSERT INTO (all your columns except the id column) SELECT * FROM baseData;
Alternative option:
Create your table with the id as last column, then the loading with LOAD DATA INFILE works

i use below script for insert data to sql from textpad.
#!/bin/bash
mysql --utest -ptest test << EOF
LOAD DATA INFILE 'test.txt'
INTO TABLE content_delivery_process
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',';
EOF
in my test file i have a format like,
cast , date , name , buy
i can insert but i need format like below,
S.NO | date | name | buy | cast
You can specify the columns you want to import:
From the MySQL Manual:
MySQL LOAD DATA INFILE
The following example loads all columns of the persondata table:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'persondata.txt' INTO TABLE persondata;
By default, when no column list is provided at the end of the LOAD
DATA INFILE statement, input lines are expected to contain a field for
each table column.
If you want to load only some of a table's columns, specify a column
list:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'persondata.txt' INTO TABLE persondata (col1,col2,...);
You must also specify a column list if the order of the fields in the
input file differs from the order of the columns in the table.
Otherwise, MySQL cannot tell how to match input fields with table
columns.
You would include "FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|';" at the end to import data delimited with a '|' symbol.
Hope this helps.
create table [YOUR TABLE] ( `S.NO` INT AUTO_INCREMENT, date DATETIME, name VARCHAR(50), buy VARCHAR(50), cast VARCHAR(50));
Load data local infile 'test.txt' ignore into table [YOUR TABLE] fields terminated by ',' lines terminated by '\n'(cast , date , name , buy);
I have CSV file having two columns id_a and id_b, but I need to insert 4 more columns; ie. emp_sal_a, emp_sal_b, emp_dept_a, emp_dept_b using sqlldr. So my current control file looks like:
load data
infile '/home/.../employee.txt'
into table employee
fields terminated by ","
( id_a, id_b,
emp_sal_a ":id_a+1000", emp_sal_b "id_b+1000", emp_dept_a "10", emp_dept_b "20")
But I am getting error:
invalid binding variables
From MySQL Load Data Ref
note: search for the "(" character and it's the 35th instance of it on the page
User variables in the SET clause can be used in several ways. The following example uses the first input column directly for the value of t1.column1, and assigns the second input column to a user variable that is subjected to a division operation before being used for the value of t1.column2:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'file.txt'
INTO TABLE t1
(column1, #var1)
SET column2 = #var1/100;
#var1 is the name of a variable you want to run an operation on, and what you're doing is calling SET on column2 to be equal to #var1/100.
i am using LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE to load data into temp table mid.then i use a update query to update found in table product.The only matching field in both is the model.
$q = "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'Mid.csv' INTO TABLE mid
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' IGNORE 1 LINES
(#col1,#col2,#col3,#col4,#col5,#col6) set model=#col1,price=#col3,stock=#col6 ";
mysql_query($q, $db);
mysql_query('UPDATE mid m, products p set p.products_price= m.price,p.products_quantity= m.stock where p.products_model= m.model');
It works and update the product table.the issue i am having is that there new records in mid table which don't get inserted as i am using the update statement.
I have looked at the insert query and update on duplicate.I have seen loads of examples of when it has to work on one table but none where i have to match it against another table.
Either i am searching for the wrong thing or there is another way to to do this.
i would appreciate any help.

I'm not sure what the other columns in the product table are, but here's a basic approach that should work for you based on the 3 columns in your example, assuming the products_model column is unique in the products table:
insert into products (products_price,products_quantity,products_model)
select price, stock, model
from mid
on duplicate key update
products_price = values(products_price),
products_quantity = values(products_quantity)
Initially I have uploaded Using load Data Infile row is having like 100000 Im Using Ubuntu
Example:data
ToneCode....Artist...MovieName...Language
1....................Mj..........Null........... English
3....................AB..........Null........... English
4....................CD.........Null........... English
5....................EF..........Null........... English
But Now I have To update Column MovieName Starting From ToneCode 1 till 100000 row I’m having data in .csv file to update .
Please suggest how to upload the .Csv file for existing table with data
I think the fastest way to do this, using purely MySQL and no extra scripting, would be as follows:
CREATE a temporary table, two columns ToneCode and MovieName same as in your target table
load the data from your new CSV file into that using LOAD DATA INFILE
UPDATE your target table using the INNER JOIN-like syntax that http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/update.html describes:
UPDATE items,month SET items.price=month.price WHERE items.id=month.id;
this would “join” the two tables items and month (by using just the “comma-syntax” for an INNER JOIN) using the id column as the join criterion, and update the items.price column with the value of the month.price column.
I Have found a solution as u Guys mentioned above
Soln: example
create table A(Id int primary Key, Name Varchar(20),Artist Varchar(20),MovieName Varchar(20));
Add all my 100000 row using
Load data infile '/Path/file.csv' into table tablename(A) fields terminated by ',' enclosed by'"'
lines terminated by '\n'
(Id,Name,Artist) here movie value is null
create temporary table TA(Id int primary Key,MovieName Varchar(20));
Uploaded data to temporary table TA
Load data infile '/Path/file.csv' into table tablename(A) fields terminated by ',' enclosed by'"'
lines terminated by '\n'(IDx,MovieName)
Now using join as u said
Update Tablename(TA),TableName(A) set A.MovieName=TA.MovieName Where A.Id=TA.Id
I am trying to insert data into a mysql table from a csv file. I am using the infile sql command, but I am having trouble because the first column of the table is an id that is set as an auto increment field. what do I have to set my first column value to in order to get this to work, or can I do it at all?
Thanks
Try using an empty field or a TAB character as a first column value in a file
(see comment "Posted by Mohamed Abdulla on August 17 2005 11:14am" on http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/loading-tables.html)
Another solution:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'DATA.txt' INTO TABLE your_table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '^'
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '~'
(column2, column3, ... )
SET column1 = NULL
