How to bulk insert a csv file? - mysql

BULK INSERT krissmall
FROM 'C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\misskrisdata_small.csv'
WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = ',', ROWTERMINATOR = '\n')
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'BULK
INSERT krissmall FROM 'C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\misskrisdata_small.' at
line 1
Can someone please tell me where went wrong? Or some other reasons behind this. I stared at this query for a long time, and looked it up a lot but I cannot find where it is wrong.


I'm curious where you looked up BULK INSERT since that doesn't seem to be supported by MySQL at all. Maybe you're reading MS SQL documentation and confusing the two.
What you want is LOAD DATA INFILE which can parse CSV.


You tagged phpmyadmin which leads me to believe that you are trying to execute this query from a remote server (possibly a web host). The remote server can't connect to your local drive. You must import through phpMyAdmin or upload the file you wish to import to a directory that phpMyAdmin can see.

SQL syntax error when importing WordPress Database file

I'm trying to move my wordpress site to a new server. I exported my old database to a .zip .sql file using phpMyAdmin
When I try to import the database file on my new server I get this error:

I've exported and imported many WordPress sites before and never had this happen. The WordPress site is using WooCommerce.
What can be done to fix this?

This looks like an escaping problem, so you should escape the double quotes in your file.
Try to add this as the last value:
REPLACE(#Data.pluginText, '"', '\"')
So your file should look like:
INSERT INTO wp_options VALUES (186159, '_transient_wc_var_prices_575', '{"f9e544f77b7eac7add281ef28ca5559f":{"price":{"6508":"180.00","6507":"180.00","6506":"180.00","6505":"180.00","6509":"180.00","6510":"180.00","6514":"180.00","6513":"180.00","6512":"180.00","6511":"180.00","6504":"180.00","6503":"180.00","6497":"180.00","6496":"180.00","6495":"180.00","6494":"180.00","6498":"180.00","6499":"180.00","6502":"180.00","6501":"180.00","6500":"180.00","6515":"180.00","6516":"180.00","6531":"180.00","6530":"180.00","6529":"180.00","6528":"180.00","6532":"180.00","6533":"180.00","6537":"180.00","6536":"180.00","6535":"180.00","6534":"180.00","6527":"180.00","6526":"180.00","6520":"180.00","6519":"180.00","6518":"180.00","6517":"180.00","6521":"180.00","6522":"180.00","6525":"180.00","6524":"180.00","6523":"180.00","6493":"180.00","6492":"180.00","6463":"180.00","6462":"180.00","6461":"180.00","6460":"180.00","6464":"180.00","6465":"180.00","6469":"180.00","6468":"180.00","6467":"180.00", REPLACE(#Data.pluginText, '"', '\"') );

#1064 error in importing database php mysql localhost

I have backup of my live site's database. I want to run it on localhost. I tried to import the back up database that I craeted in phpmyadmin/localhost. But I am getting error something like this:
1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '
"http://www.w' at line 1
Can Any one help me....

This doesn't look like an SQL file, but as Krister Andersson suggested, you should post a few lines so we can see exactly what you are dealing with. How did you create the backup? What file type does it claim to be (is there an extension on the file)?

importing .sql3 and csv file into mysql workbench

This is may be foolish question. But i cant find the answer of this problem anywhere.
i have a .sql3 and a .csv file i want do import functionality in my mysql workbench using any of these file.
right now i dont have any tables and shemas in my mysql
when i am importing my demo.csv or demo.sql3 files in my workbench its showing an error like
ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'SQLite format 3' at line 1
I am on ubuntu
can anyone help me out from this problem
thanks in advance

For reading csv data into MySQL LOAD DATA is probably the best way to go. There's a plugin in MySQL WOrkbench for importing CSV data but it requires an existing result set.

OpenCart on Windows XP Error

I'm trying to install Open Cart on my virtual machine with, PHP 5.4.7, MySQL 5.5 and Apache 2.2. After A LOT of troubles, I've managed to arrive at the moment of installation script execution, but I receive this problem:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '/*!40101 SET #OLD_CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT=##CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT */' at line 1
Honestly I'm stuck. I've tried to execute the code in Workbench and it works, except that in the INSERT INTO queries for test data they've missed default values for NOT NULL columns.
Hints? Suggestion?

Those random characters at the start of the SQL are the UTF Byte Order Mark. Something you used to edit the file decided to emit that at the start. Quickest way to get rid of it would be getting Notepad++, open the file in that, Select "Encoding->Enocde in UTF-8 without BOM", and resave the file, and try again.

MySQL LOAD XML LOCAL INFILE

I'm building an application on my local machine, and for the longest time, was using Windows 7 with MySQL installed, but as I've now moved onto Linux, I'm trying to execute this statement:
LOAD XML LOCAL INFILE 'http://example.com/tech.xml'
INTO TABLE t
ROWS IDENTIFIED BY '<product>';
This is not working, and I do have all the privileges necessary in order to accomplish this.
How can I make this statement work?
When I was using Windows (r) the statement would work perfectly. Where do I put the file on my web server if I want to access it via MySQL?
I get this error:
Error Code: 1064. You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near 'XML LOCAL INFILE 'http://example.com/tech.xml'
INTO TABLE t
ROWS IDENTIFIE' at line 1

LOAD XML INFILE is available from mySQL 5.2 and higher.
You probably have an older version than that.
