I have a csv file with four columns. Structure of this file is as shown below.
"Id","Title","Content","Author" "1","......","..............","..." "2",".............","....................","......"
The command below
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/data/trn.csv' INTO TABLE TR_DATA FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' IGNORE 1 LINES ;
does not parse correctly and puts wrong inputs to fields. How can I parse correctly?
As documented under LOAD DATA INFILE Syntax:
Note
If you have generated the text file on a Windows system, you might have to use LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' to read the file properly, because Windows programs typically use two characters as a line terminator. Some programs, such as WordPad, might use \r as a line terminator when writing files. To read such files, use LINES TERMINATED BY '\r'.

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
Hi there I am new to web development.
I am trying to import a CSV file into mysql workbench using 'Table Data Import Wizard'. However, I have read my file needs to be a CSV (MS-DOS), or I get the following error: Can't analyze file. Please try to change encoding type. If that doesn't help, maybe the file is not: csv, or the file is empty.
I cannot use a CSV (MS-DOS) as my data contains a lot of different special characters including those from Nordic Europe. When I convert my CSV (comma delimited) to CSV (MS-DOS) the special characters are no longer the same.
Is there a way to import a CSV comma delimited file into mysql workbench? Or is there a better solution to getting my data into the table such as keeping the special characters the same in the MS-DOS file somehow?
You can import regular CSVs without an issue, just make sure the encoding matches.
Something like
LOAD DATA
INFILE yourfile.csv
INTO TABLE tablename
FIELDS
TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES
TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES
should work. If your CSV doesn't have headers, remove the ignore 1 lines line from the code. If your formatting is different, change the enclosing and terminating characters accordingly.
You can look up the exact syntax in the manual.
Your CSV should work fine. You just need to Load Data Infile
You will likely need to define these settings though
LOAD DATA INFILE 'c:/tmp/discounts.csv'
INTO TABLE discounts
-- comma seperated? maybe pipes '|'?
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
-- what surrounds input and is it optional? then add OPTIONALLY before ENCLOSED
ENCLOSED BY '"'
-- what is at the end of files
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
-- how many header rows are there, if any?
IGNORE 1 ROWS;
I'm completely novice to MySQL, and I'm trying to load some CSV sheets to the server using HeidiSQL -> tools -> Import CSV. But it keeps giving me this error:
Error 1148: The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version".
Is there a way to fix that, or maybe another way to load a CSV?
For query based csv import you can use load data ... to load csv files.
For more info refer here
Example:
To skip the first line which is header in csv you can use ignore 1 lines
load data local infile 'D:std_table.csv' into table local.student
fields terminated by ','
enclosed by '"'
lines terminated by '\r\n'
ignore 1 lines;
For windows based system use \r\n for line termination and for Linux use \n
Side Note:
You could try using MySQL Workbench for MySQL from official site here.
try this one:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'c:/tmp/discounts.csv'
INTO TABLE discounts
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 ROWS;
I am using load data infile to upload a 2gig csv file into mysql and getting some warnings that indicate that some of the cells include a semicolon when the actual csv file I am uploading is semicolon separated.
I suppose that changing the delimiter from semicolon may be an option but I do not have control over the export I am working with. Not sure how to do this without a find replace which obviously wouldnt work as it would just replace the semicolon that needs to remain in the field it has been exported to.
Here is what I am using:
load data infile '/file/path/bigfile.csv'
into table table_name fields terminated by ';'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' ignore 1 lines
(Column1, Column2, Column3, ....);
I guess the ultimate question is can you use a regex as a delimter when using load data infile...having problems finding this answer.
You have to mention the fields separated by in LOAD DATA command as:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'abc.csv' INTO TABLE abc
FIELDS TERMINATED BY **';'**
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' is the main part to edit in your case.
Also you might be change the delimiter from semicolon to something else..
I can import CSV file with CSV option but doesnt work for CSV with LOAD DATA. I get the error
Error: 1083 - Field separator argument is not what is expected
...although I am doing everything same,uploading the same file to same table.
You are probably forgetting to set the field separator to a comma. Here's an example command for loading a CSV file from the MySQL documentation.
LOAD DATA INFILE can be used to read files obtained from external sources. For example, many programs can export data in comma-separated values (CSV) format, such that lines have fields separated by commas and enclosed within double quotation marks, with an initial line of column names. If the lines in such a file are terminated by carriage return/newline pairs, the statement shown here illustrates the field- and line-handling options you would use to load the file:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'data.txt' INTO TABLE tbl_name
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES;
Some notes:
If your first row doesn't contain headers, you should omit the IGNORE 1 LINES.
If your fields aren't enclosed by quotation marks, you can omit that too.
Lastly, if your file is
local, you should be using LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE.
