I am trying to load large text files that are delimited by DEL. Using Coldfusion I can do chr(127), but that doesn't seem to work here
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "C:\\inetpub\\vhosts\\mysite.com\\dataload.data"
INTO TABLE tbl_data
COLUMNS TERMINATED BY '\0x7F'
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
ESCAPED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES;
I have been searching and trying a number of things that look like they can be DEL characters. Does anyone have any suggestions for the COLUMNS TERMINATED BY line?
After a lot of searching, I found that my original statement was close. The answer is:
COLUMNS TERMINATED BY X'7F'

I have two records for example like this
11,avec myName à EX,Ex,0,2021-06-25
22,"andone \"ttt\"",Ex,0,2021-06-25
I am trying to load this into a table with MySQL with load data, and every time I try it, the quotes get cut off, or the back spaces don't show up.
I need to know if this is even possible. Can those two records go into a table and look exactly like they are in the CSV file?
I am using MySQL and trying
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'example.csv' INTO TABLE example;
Use the ENCLOSED BY and ESCAPED BY options.
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'example.csv'
INTO TABLE example
FIELDS OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
ESCAPED BY '\\';
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'example.csv' INTO TABLE example
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
ESCAPED BY '\\'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES
(col1, col2, col3.col4,col5);
In mysql 8 this will get you an error please read
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/load-data.html#load-data-file-location
Windws uses LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'
if the file comes from a linux system use `LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
it os hard to tell without seeing the file what parameters would help exactly so you should try some variants out`.
also a editor with hexfile capability helps in such cases to analyse the struicture
I've a csv file containing data in this format:
SATURN,6459,"50,486",27184
I'm using this command to import this file into the table:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'D:\\temp.csv' INTO TABLE `test`.`tmp` FIELDS ESCAPED BY '\\'
TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
(`description`,`file_no`,`net`,`run_no`);
all the fields are being imported correctly but the net column always having the data like
50.00 // it should be 50,486
Data type of this column is Decimal(10,2). I've also tried Numeric(10,2) but no luck. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.
Please have a try with this one:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'D:\\temp.csv' INTO TABLE `test`.`tmp` FIELDS ESCAPED BY '\\'
TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
(`description`, `file_no`, #a_variable, `run_no`)
SET `net` = REPLACE(#a_variable, ',', '');
MySQL cannot deal with commas as 1000 separators when inserting numbers. You need to parse out these commas before loading.
If you need the numbers formatted this way when querying, use FORMAT(). For examples see Apply comma to number field in MySQL
this may just be the dumbest question I have asked yet. But I can not figure this out. I am trying to import a CSV into my mysql. But I can not get these areas correct:
Columns separated with:
Columns enclosed with:
Columns escaped with:
Lines terminated with:
Here is an example row in mycsv:
AA|Armed Forces Americas|US|United States
what would I place in each one?
If you have table that match the column configuration of the file what you do is:
LOAD DATA INFILE '<full file path>`
INTO TABLE <tbl_name>
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';
If some of the fields may contain | then these fields should be enclosed by " and then the last clause becomes:
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' ENCLOSED BY '"' TERMINATED BY '\n'
I've been using the following command to expert mysql data to a csv file.
SELECT * INTO OUTFILE 'output.csv' FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' FROM table1;
It works for simple tables with simple data. However, if the table contains html tags, double quotes, single quotes, ascii characters etc, it does not work propertly, i.e. it will put tabs and new lines in incorrect places, breaking up data where it shouldn't. How can the sql script above be improved to export data with html?
I have tried SELECT...INTO OUTFILE statement, and then LOAD DATA INFILE statement, everything is OK, the HTML text was exported/imported without any mistakes (on MySQL 5.5).
Try to add ENCLOSED BY option, it should help you, e.g. -
SELECT *
INTO OUTFILE 'output.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
FROM
table1;
LOAD DATA INFILE 'output.csv'
INTO TABLE table1
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';
What are the potential choices for LINES TERMINATED BY in MySQL?
I have a CSV file that I am trying to upload and neither \r\n, \n, or \r work.
Try inspecting the file using a binary-displaying utility like od (http://swoolley.org/man.cgi/1/od). That will show you imediately how your lines are terminated.
I agree with brian.
Query which i used to work are as follows.
load data local infile 'test.csv'
into table test_field fields
terminated by ','
lines terminated by '\n'
