I'm migrating an old Sybase database to a new MySQL db.
Since the moment that Sybase can export data to .dat files (something similar to new csv), I decided to use it.
The problem is that Sybase uses commas as column separator and commas in strings are ignored because are enclosed in '', but not in MySQL.
Is there a way to solve the problem? Here's my query:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'C:\\UNLOAD\\166.dat'
INTO TABLE linea_col
COLUMNS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n';
Thank you in advance.
If they are enclosed by single quotes try this:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'C:\\UNLOAD\\166.dat'
INTO TABLE linea_col
COLUMNS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '\''
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n';
If that doesn't work then you should do ENCLOSED BY '''' but I'm 99.99% certain the first is correct.
I'm not familiar with how DAT files may differ to CSV, but you can use CSV as the common format.
You can export from Sybase using BCP and forcing the output to use CSV format
bcp database.dbo.tbl_name out c:\temp\output.csv -c -t, -U user_name -P password -S server_name
Then import into MySQL with
load data local infile 'uniq.csv' into table tblUniq fields terminated by ','
enclosed by '"'
lines terminated by '\n'
(uniqName, uniqCity, uniqComments)

I'm new in PostgreSQL. Have a working MySQL query making import from .csv:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/home/d/docs/DB.csv'
INTO TABLE calculations.pricing FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';
How can I fix it working with Postgre. Thanks!
The COPY command is your friend.
According to the MySQL documentation you should be able to export to data to CSV files:
The mysqldump command can also generate output in CSV, other delimited text, or XML format.
But the document doesn't reveal how? Can anybody help?
SELECT * FROM `database_name`.`table_name` INTO OUTFILE 'path_to_folder/filename.csv' FIELDS ENCLOSED BY '"' TERMINATED BY ';' ESCAPED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n';"
This is how you do it.

I'm using ubuntu 14.04 operating system and I want to import excel sheet(.xls) in to database.
I am using phpmyadmin mysql administration tool. If any one can give me the commands to import xls to mysql I would be grateful.
Import CSV file in to MySQL Table
Change file type in to CSV
Create table according to excel column names
Place the csv file in /var/lib/mysql
Open phpmyadmin sql command pane:
Execute this sql command
LOAD DATA INFILE 'testlist.csv'
INTO TABLE TEST
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 ROWS;
Use the load data capability. See
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/load-data.html
Export CSV file in to MySQL Table
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ...
INTO OUTFILE 'testlist.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
Here is an example that produces a file in the comma-separated values (CSV) format used by many programs:
SELECT * INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/result.txt'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
FROM test_table;
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
