I am trying to upload a sql file in the database I am running following code
# mysql - u root -p idecon123 < "d:\IdeOffline\answersnew.sql"
But when I parse this it shows the help manual .
Is there any mistake in my command
Thanks
Go to http://localhost/ after starting Apache and MySQL. On the left side you will see a link for phpMyAdmin. Click that, then upload your .sql file through the browser. See http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/import for how to import files.
edit: for big files, set an uploadDir per http://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/config.html . Copy the file into that directory and you'll be able to import it directly.
You can do that by using the mysqlimport command in the command prompt.
Here is the syntax,
mysqlimport -u root -p abc#123 --ignore-lines=1 --fields-terminated-by="," --lines-terminated-by="\n" --local upam_dev C:\Users\ukrishnan\Desktop\Generated-Players\PlayerProfile.dataSet-1.csv
--ignore-line - To exclude if you have something like title in your first line of CSV
--fields-terminated-by - Can specify, how the field is terminated like , or | symbol
The filenames must correspond with the tables into which their data will be imported. If a filename contains one or more . (dots), the portion before the first dot will be assumed to be the name of the table.
If you have data in multiple files, you can specify like Profile.File-1.csv, Profile.File-2.csv. So that it will take the table name as Profile when you import these files.
These is ultimately fast when compare with the importing through PhpMyAdmin. It took me around 3-4 seconds to import a file with 100K records.

I'm trying to import existing database file into an empty SQL database with the following command:
mysql -u username -p'password' db_name < dbfile.sql
but I get following Error:
ERROR 1146 (42S02) at line 1: Table 'db_name.oc_address' doesn't exist
I know that oc_address is a table name inside the SQL file, but I don't know what to do to import it correctly, I searched the web and also stack-overflow, found nothing on this error.
Download the actual opencart zip file
https://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=cms/download/download&download_id=62
Unzip it
open folder
\upload\install
and
run opencart.sql
if you have installed extensions that have need their own sql, you have to run their sql as well
After that run you backup file
To export an entire database and then load it into another server, your best bet is to use the mysqldump command line utility. Its export files contain the data definition language (tables, views, all that) for the database as well as the data.
You can also get it to export just the definitions.
mysqldump --no-data -u username -p'password' db_name > opencartddl.sql
Then you can import that file first, then your data file.
Or, you may be able to stand up a new, empty, Opencart instance and use its UI to import your data.
It's probably wise to avoid trying to write replacement DDL yourself if you can get a tool like mysqldump to do it.
I'm trying to import a *.ods file using mysqlimport or 'load data' instead of phpMyAdmin interface because I need to automate the process.
This is my first attempt:
mysqlimport --ignore-lines=1 -u root -p DATABASE /home/luca/Scrivania/lettura.ods
mysqlimport can't upload the file because there are two spreadsheets, I need both and I can't modify the file structure.
With phpMyAdmin i'm able to upload the file correctly. The content of the two spreadsheets fills correctly the two tables. I know that when importing an *.ods file like this, phpMyAdmin uses the sheet name as the table name for import the file, but this is not the behavior of mysqlimport. Mysqlimport uses the file name, not the sheet name.
So I've tried this:
mysql -u root -p -e "load data local infile '/home/luca/Scrivania/lettura.ods' into table TABLE_NAME" DATABASE
Returns no error but the data in the table is totaly inconsistent.
Any suggestions?
Thank You
MySQL doesn't know how to read spreadsheets. Your best bet is to use your spreadsheet program to export a CSV, then load that new CSV into the database. Specify comma-delimited loading in your query and try it:
LOAD LOCAL DATA INFILE '/home/luca/Scrivania/lettura.csv'
INTO TABLE TABLE_NAME
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '' ESCAPED BY '\'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
STARTING BY ''
The documentation for file loading contains tons of possible options, if you need them.
I have a page in my website which is used for insertion of properties by users which has 54 boxes.
I don't want these information should go directly to my database cause it make it heavy if there will be 200 record per day.
The way i want is to collect the data from users and confirm it, after confirmation i should be able to imported.
May i know how many ways are there for importing data into mysql ?
How many ways of importing data into mysql:
It should be as simple as...
LOAD DATA INFILE '/tmp/mydata.txt' INTO TABLE PerformanceReport;
By default LOAD DATA INFILE uses tab delimited, one row per line, so should take it in just fine
IMPORT
1.Make sure the database you need has already been created. If it has not, please first create the database:
How do I create a database?
CAUTION:
If you import a backup file to a database that already has content, it will replace the existing content.
Use FTP to upload your SQL file to your server. You can upload it to
your default FTP directory. Or, see Step 1 in the "Export"
instructions above for another suggestion. Alternately, you can use
scp to upload your file via SSH.
Log into your server via SSH.
Use the command cd to navigate into the directory where you uploaded
your backup file in Step 1. If you uploaded the backup to your data
directory, go here (replace 00000 with your site number):
cd /home/00000/data/
Import the database by executing the following command:
`mysql -h internal-db.s00000.gridserver.com -u username -p dbname < dbname.sql`
OR:
`mysql -h internal-db.s00000.gridserver.com -u username -p dbname -e 'source dbname.sql'`
Once you execute this command, you will be prompted for your
database password. Type it in and hit enter. Your database will now
import. It may take a few minutes if you have a large database. When
the import is done, you will be returned to the command prompt.
NOTE:
Variables are the same as in Step 3 from the Export section above.
Please check Step 3 in the "Export" section to make sure you are
correctly replacing the example code with your own information.
dbname.sql is the actual name of your SQL file.
If you have a gzipped backup of your database, you can use this line instead:
`gunzip < dbname.gz | mysql -h internal-db.s00000.gridserver.com -u username -p dbname`
You can enter in your own username, database name, and backup file
name, as before. dbname.gz is the name of your gzipped backup file.
Use "unzip" instead of "gunzip" for zipped files.
Remove the SQL file from your web-accessible directory, if you
uploaded it to a public folder. Otherwise, anyone can download it
from the web.
If you get an error that looks like this:
Got Error: 1045: Access denied for user 'db00000#internal-db.s00000.gridserver.com' (using password: YES) when trying to connect
You have entered an incorrect password. Please retype it carefully,
or reset your password via the AccountCenter Control Panel. See
Database users on the Grid for instructions.
If you get an SQL error during the import, you can force it to finish by adding "-f" to the command, which stands for "force." For example:
`mysql -f -h internal-db.s00000.gridserver.com -u username -p dbname -e 'source dbname.sql'`
This can help you finish an import if you have a few corrupt tables,
but need to get the database as a whole imported before you do
anything else.

I want to import an sqldump file in my database "dbname" into the table "data" without using the network interface.
when i import the file via
mysql dbname -u databaseuser -pdatabasepass<data.sql
this is really slow on my ubuntu 12.04
but when i use this instead:
mysqlimport -u databaseuser -pdatabasepass --local data.sql
it is as fast as normal.
i think, because on my mashine it is parsing each line separately when using "mysql" and "<"
is there a way to use the mysqlimport syntax for importing an sql-file with CREATE and DROP TABLE stuff?
maybe just split the upper part in the sql-dump (with the drop table and create table statement) automatically and then only send the rest of the file with the INPUT-statements to mysqlinsert, that should work
There is no way to do that directly. What you need to do is run mysqldump --tab instead of the normal mysqldump, that will create both a .sql files containing table definitions and a CSV file containing data that can be imported with mysqlimport.
You can specify the path to a UNIX socket file with --socket=/path/to/... (or -S), which may be faster. You can find the socket path in the server's my.cnf. So, for example (and I'm just making up the path, here);
mysql dbname -u databaseuser -pdatabasepass -S /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock < data.sql
You can use this script: How do I split the output from mysqldump into smaller files?
and modify it, so you have only the create-statements in one file and the data statements in another.
I have a .sqlite file which I want to convert into mysql. So is there any way to convert it into mysql?I am using ubuntu. So is there any shell script to change it. Any help will be highly appreciable.
assuming your sqlite db file is login.db
download this script as sqlite3-to-mysql.sh
this command will tranform your sqlite db file to standard mysql sql file: sqlite3 login.db .dump > sqlite.sql && bash sqlite3-to-mysql.sh sqlite.sql > mysql.sql && rm sqlite.sql
import to mysql: mysql -uuser -ppassword -D database < mysql.sql
I've tried this recently and most answers don't work because they're out of date. e.g. python vs python3
A method that worked for me that should never go out of date is to export the tables to CSV and then import them as CSV. I used Sequel Pro which can import a CSV. The downside is that you need to do each table individually. The upside is that this is a very robust method and doesn't require any custom scripts.
Run the following in your database folder changing "thedatabase" and the two occurances of "thetable" to the database name and table name respectively:
sqlite3 -header -csv thedatabase.db "select * from thetable;" > thetable.csv
For Sequel Pro:
Create your database
(Optional: Create table structure. Recommended to have the correct column types) You could get the create statement from an sqlite dump and fix them for mysql.
File > Import
Format: CSV
Check: "First line contains field names"
Check the field mappings and import
Explanation of the command to export:
"sqlite3" is the command line client for sqlite databases.
"-header -csv " sets the output to csv
"thedatabase.db" is the database file
"select * from thetable;" is the query to select all data from the table
" > thetable.csv" redirects the output of the data to thetable.csv file
1) Export sqlite database to sql file
sqlite3 sqlite.db .dump > mysql.sql
2) Import mysql.sql file to mysql database using phpmyadmin or other tools.
To directly import it to the database in just one command:
sqlite3 database.db .dump | mysql -uuser -ppassword database
Google "sqlite to mysql" will give you a lot of articles doing that ...
Okay, easiest is to open the .sqlite file using sqlite, .dump to a file, and the file is a text file containing SQL statements.
You shall be able to edit that file and run in your mysql DB thereafter.
