Insert CSV files based on field name - mysql

Now am using the below code to upload CSV files into MYSQL database via FTP.It's Working fine.The CSV column have a field name "STATUS". It's have two values A and D. But i want to insert particular rows only based on field "STATUS" A. How can i insert this?.
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/root/782012_10.csv'
INTO TABLE tbl_dndno
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';


You could load the file into a temporary table, then insert from the temporary table into your main table with a query that selects the rows you want.

Import CSV into MySQL - Offset by 1 Column

I am importing my data from a csv file like this:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "c:\myfile.csv" INTO TABLE historic FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';
This ALMOST works perfect. My table has one different row, the first: An auto incremented id column. Otherwise the csv file and the MySQL table match perfectly. When I run the command above, it puts the first column from the csv into the id field. It want it to actually go into the second.
Is there a way I can modify the above statement to either specify the columns or just offset it by 1? (skipping the first column on import).

You can optionally name the columns to be populated by LOAD DATA, and simply omit your id column:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "c:\myfile.csv" INTO TABLE historic
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
(column2, colum3, column4, column5, ...)

You can load your data specifing the order columns that you're going to use into your table:
LOAD DATA LOCAL FILE '/tmp/test.txt' INTO TABLE historic
(name_field1, name_field2, name_field3...);
Or if you prefer you can load it first to a temporary table and use a select into statement to laod it into your final table (it's slower).

MySQL LOAD DATA LOCAL csv and create table and fields off first row of csv

Is it possible have a query that will do the following...
Load Data Local for a CSV file
Create a table
Create the fields based off the first row of the csv
Insert the data from the csv into this new table
this is what I have right now:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'C:\\CaliberMap.csv'
INTO TABLE sefeed_calibermap
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES

Import CSV to MySQL With Fewer Columns Than Destination Table

Is there a way to import a CSV into MySQL where the column numbers do not match?
I have a MySQL "Employees" table which we update once a month with a CSV file. I have added two additional columns to the "Employees" table that are relevant to our needs. Importing the table data, through MySQL Workbench, with the following SQL statement:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'EmployeeDump-March.csv' REPLACE INTO TABLE employees
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
I receive the following error, which is absolutely correct... the column numbers don't match:
Error Code: 1261. Row 1 doesn't contain data for all columns 7.426 sec
The two extra fields have default values.
Is there a way to supress this error and have MySQL ignore those last two columns, leaving them alone?

You can (and should!) explicitly name the columns you are inserting into using LOAD DATA INFILE, just like a regular INSERT. You can also optionally set default values for the two new columns you added as part of the LOAD DATA INFILE statement.
Something like this. Just fill in the actual column names in the right order between the parens, and set the actual defaults and column names for the new columns if you don't want NULL:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'EmployeeDump-March.csv' REPLACE INTO TABLE employees
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
(old_column1, old_column2, ...)
set new_column1 = NULL,
new_column2 = NULL

Mysql Load Data for existing column of a table

Initially I have uploaded Using load Data Infile row is having like 100000 Im Using Ubuntu
Example:data
ToneCode....Artist...MovieName...Language
1....................Mj..........Null........... English
3....................AB..........Null........... English
4....................CD.........Null........... English
5....................EF..........Null........... English
But Now I have To update Column MovieName Starting From ToneCode 1 till 100000 row I’m having data in .csv file to update .
Please suggest how to upload the .Csv file for existing table with data

I think the fastest way to do this, using purely MySQL and no extra scripting, would be as follows:
CREATE a temporary table, two columns ToneCode and MovieName same as in your target table
load the data from your new CSV file into that using LOAD DATA INFILE
UPDATE your target table using the INNER JOIN-like syntax that http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/update.html describes:
UPDATE items,month SET items.price=month.price WHERE items.id=month.id;
this would “join” the two tables items and month (by using just the “comma-syntax” for an INNER JOIN) using the id column as the join criterion, and update the items.price column with the value of the month.price column.

I Have found a solution as u Guys mentioned above
Soln: example
create table A(Id int primary Key, Name Varchar(20),Artist Varchar(20),MovieName Varchar(20));
Add all my 100000 row using
Load data infile '/Path/file.csv' into table tablename(A) fields terminated by ',' enclosed by'"'
lines terminated by '\n'
(Id,Name,Artist) here movie value is null
create temporary table TA(Id int primary Key,MovieName Varchar(20));
Uploaded data to temporary table TA
Load data infile '/Path/file.csv' into table tablename(A) fields terminated by ',' enclosed by'"'
lines terminated by '\n'(IDx,MovieName)
Now using join as u said
Update Tablename(TA),TableName(A) set A.MovieName=TA.MovieName Where A.Id=TA.Id

And mySQL was taking that first column (PlayerID) and assigning it to the id column. It was also shifting everything over one column (first name was filled in with last name).
Is this the expected behavior?

I believe that MySQL will properly insert the data by skipping the id column as long as it's set to auto_increment. Otherwise you can specify the columns individually as Bobby pointed out.

To avoid this problem, specify the columns you're loading data into and leave out the id field:
LOAD DATA INFILE '/Users/Tyler/Desktop/players_20120318.txt' INTO TABLE players (col1, col2, col3...) FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';
