Importing csv file in mysql database - mysql

Question

I have a csv file with 8 columns. When I am importing the csv file into mysql database, it is ignoring the 2nd column and shifting the rest of the data from the other columns to the left, please help.
I think the problem is with the csv file as some csv files are uploaded successfully. How can I fix it?
This is my query to store csv file into database:
LOAD DATA INFILE '$file_name' INTO TABLE import
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES
(#srno,#customer_name,#date,#mobno,#city,#state,#type,#telecaller)
SET customer_name=#customer_name,date=#date,mobno=#mobno,city=#city,
state=#state,type=#type,telecaller=#telecaller,datetime='$datetime'

This code worked for me. Test it out with a local database.
package Example_Import;
import java.sql.*;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.String;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Example {
//import mysql-connector-java-5.1.32.jar
//http://www.tutorialspoint.com/jdbc/jdbc-create-tables.htm
private static String JDBC_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sakila";
private static String USER = "root";
private static String PASSWORD = "2004";
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
Connection myConnection = null;
Statement statement = null;
PreparedStatement preparedStatement = null;
try{
//CONNECTING TO THE DATABASE
myConnection = DriverManager.getConnection(JDBC_URL, USER, PASSWORD);
System.out.println("Connected to database"); //CONNECTED
//CREATING TABLE IN THE DATABASE
System.out.println("Creating table in given database...");
statement = myConnection.createStatement();
String sql = "CREATE TABLE REGISTRATION " +
"(id INTEGER not NULL, " +
" last VARCHAR(25), " +
" first VARCHAR(25), " +
" balance FLOAT, " +
" Credit FLOAT," +
" Date DATE," +
" Rating CHAR," +

statement.executeUpdate(sql);
System.out.println("Created table in given database...");
statement.close(); //closing statement
//CREATING A PREPARED STATEMENT
String insertTableSQL = "INSERT INTO REGISTRATION"
+ "(id, last, first, balance, Credit, Date, Rating) VALUES"
+ "(?,?,?,?, ?, ?, ?)";
preparedStatement = myConnection.prepareStatement(insertTableSQL);
//RETRIEVING INFORMATION FROM CSV FILE
//opening a file input stream
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("SAMPLE.csv"));
String line = null; //line read from csv
Scanner scanner = null; //scanned line
SimpleDateFormat date = new SimpleDateFormat("mm/DD/yyyy");
reader.readLine(); //omits the first line
//READING FILE LINE BY LINE AND UPLOADING INFORMATION TO DATABASE
while((line = reader.readLine()) != null){
scanner = new Scanner(line);
scanner.useDelimiter(",");
while(scanner.hasNext()){
preparedStatement.setInt(1,Integer.parseInt(scanner.next()));
preparedStatement.setString(2, scanner.next());
preparedStatement.setString(3, scanner.next());
preparedStatement.setFloat(4, Float.parseFloat(scanner.next()));
preparedStatement.setFloat(5, Float.parseFloat(scanner.next()));
try {
java.util.Date d;
d = date.parse(scanner.next());
preparedStatement.setDate(6, new java.sql.Date(d.getTime()));
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
preparedStatement.setString(7, scanner.next());
}
preparedStatement.executeUpdate();
}
preparedStatement.close();
System.out.println("Data imported");
reader.close(); //closing CSV reader
} catch (SQLException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}finally{//CLOSING CONNECTION
try{
if(statement!=null)
myConnection.close();

}// do nothing
try{

}catch(SQLException se){

}
System.out.println("Connection closed");
}
}
