MYSQL - Import HTML files into a single column - mysql

I have around 1000 html files in my local computer and I have to import them into database table in a single column . I mean one full file into one cell and 1000 HTML files into 1000 rows .
Table structure
CREATE TABLE `content` (
`ID` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`data` text ,
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`)
)
one row contains ID and one html file contents
I tried
load DATA LOCAL INFILE 'C:\\Users\\userD\\Desktop\\data\\alter-data.html' INTO TABLE content LINES TERMINATED BY '</html>';
since each file end line is </html> but that didn't help to load any data ..
Can any one help me on this?
Thank You
Regards
Kiran


I needed to do the same thing and spent ages working it out but it turned out to be simple.
Note the test table, test_html field was defined as a "text" field
truncate table test;
load data local infile 'data.htm'
into table test
fields terminated by '</html>'
lines terminated by '</html>'
(test_html);


I used the below Java program and able to upload the contents

Thanks All

Import Data Permission Denied [duplicate]

I have an unnormalized events-diary CSV from a client that I'm trying to load into a MySQL table so that I can refactor into a sane format. I created a table called 'CSVImport' that has one field for every column of the CSV file. The CSV contains 99 columns , so this was a hard enough task in itself:
CREATE TABLE 'CSVImport' (id INT);
ALTER TABLE CSVImport ADD COLUMN Title VARCHAR(256);
ALTER TABLE CSVImport ADD COLUMN Company VARCHAR(256);
ALTER TABLE CSVImport ADD COLUMN NumTickets VARCHAR(256);
...
ALTER TABLE CSVImport Date49 ADD COLUMN Date49 VARCHAR(256);
ALTER TABLE CSVImport Date50 ADD COLUMN Date50 VARCHAR(256);
No constraints are on the table, and all the fields hold VARCHAR(256) values, except the columns which contain counts (represented by INT), yes/no (represented by BIT), prices (represented by DECIMAL), and text blurbs (represented by TEXT).
I tried to load data into the file:
LOAD DATA INFILE '/home/paul/clientdata.csv' INTO TABLE CSVImport;
Query OK, 2023 rows affected, 65535 warnings (0.08 sec)
Records: 2023 Deleted: 0 Skipped: 0 Warnings: 198256
SELECT * FROM CSVImport;
| NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL |
...
The whole table is filled with NULL.
I think the problem is that the text blurbs contain more than one line, and MySQL is parsing the file as if each new line would correspond to one databazse row. I can load the file into OpenOffice without a problem.
The clientdata.csv file contains 2593 lines, and 570 records. The first line contains column names. I think it is comma delimited, and text is apparently delimited with doublequote.
UPDATE:
When in doubt, read the manual: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/load-data.html
I added some information to the LOAD DATA statement that OpenOffice was smart enough to infer, and now it loads the correct number of records:
LOAD DATA INFILE "/home/paul/clientdata.csv"
INTO TABLE CSVImport
COLUMNS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
ESCAPED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES;
But still there are lots of completely NULL records, and none of the data that got loaded seems to be in the right place.

Use mysqlimport to load a table into the database:
mysqlimport --ignore-lines=1 \
--fields-terminated-by=, \
--local -u root \
-p Database \
TableName.csv
I found it at http://chriseiffel.com/everything-linux/how-to-import-a-large-csv-file-to-mysql/
To make the delimiter a tab, use --fields-terminated-by='\t'

The core of your problem seems to be matching the columns in the CSV file to those in the table.
Many graphical mySQL clients have very nice import dialogs for this kind of thing.
My favourite for the job is Windows based HeidiSQL. It gives you a graphical interface to build the LOAD DATA command; you can re-use it programmatically later.

Simplest way which I have imported 200+ rows is below command in phpmyadmin sql window
I have a simple table of country with two columns
CountryId,CountryName
here is .csv data
here is command:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'c:/country.csv'
INTO TABLE country
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 ROWS
Keep one thing in mind, never appear , in second column, otherwise your import will stop

I Used this method to import more than 100K records (~5MB) in 0.046sec
Here's how you do it:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE
'c:/temp/some-file.csv'
INTO TABLE your_awesome_table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
(field_1,field_2 , field_3);
It is very important to include the last line , if you have more than one field i.e normally it skips the last field (MySQL 5.6.17)
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
(field_1,field_2 , field_3);
Then, assuming you have the first row as the title for your fields, you might want to include this line also
IGNORE 1 ROWS
This is what it looks like if your file has a header row.
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE
'c:/temp/some-file.csv'
INTO TABLE your_awesome_table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 ROWS
(field_1,field_2 , field_3);

phpMyAdmin can handle CSV import. Here are the steps:
Prepare the CSV file to have the fields in the same order as the MySQL table fields.
Remove the header row from the CSV (if any), so that only the data is in the file.
Go to the phpMyAdmin interface.
Select the table in the left menu.
Click the import button at the top.
Browse to the CSV file.
Select the option "CSV using LOAD DATA".
Enter "," in the "fields terminated by".
Enter the column names in the same order as they are in the database table.
Click the go button and you are done.
This is a note that I prepared for my future use, and sharing here if someone else can benefit.

If you are using MySQL Workbench (currently 6.3 version) you can do this by:
Right click on "Tables";
Chose Table Data Import Wizard;
Chose your csv file and follow the instructions (JSON also could be used);
The good thing is that you can create a new table based on the csv file you want to import or load data to an existing table

You can fix this by listing the columns in you LOAD DATA statement. From the manual:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'persondata.txt' INTO TABLE persondata (col1,col2,...);
...so in your case you need to list the 99 columns in the order in which they appear in the csv file.

Try this, it worked for me
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'filename.csv' INTO TABLE table_name FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' IGNORE 1 ROWS;
IGNORE 1 ROWS here ignores the first row which contains the fieldnames. Note that for the filename you must type the absolute path of the file.

I see something strange. You are using for ESCAPING the same character you use for ENCLOSING. So the engine does not know what to do when it founds a '"' and I think that is why nothing seems to be in the right place.
I think that if you remove the line of ESCAPING, should run great. Like:
LOAD DATA INFILE "/home/paul/clientdata.csv"
INTO TABLE CSVImport
COLUMNS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES;
Unless you analyze (manually, visually, ... ) your CSV and find which character uses for escape. Sometimes is '\'. But if you do not have it, do not use it.

The mysql command line is prone to too many problems on import. Here is how you do it:
use excel to edit the header names to have no spaces
save as .csv
use free Navicat Lite Sql Browser to import and auto create a new table (give it a name)
open the new table insert a primary auto number column for ID
change the type of the columns as desired.
done!

Yet another solution is to use csvsql tool from amazing csvkit suite.
Usage example:
csvsql --db mysql://$user:$password#localhost/$database --insert --tables $tablename $file
This tool can automatically infer the data types (default behavior), create table and insert the data into the created table. --overwrite option can be used to drop table if it already exists. --insert option — to populate the table from the file.
To install the suite
pip install csvkit
Prerequisites: python-dev, libmysqlclient-dev, MySQL-python
apt-get install python-dev libmysqlclient-dev
pip install MySQL-python

In case if you using Intellij
https://www.jetbrains.com/datagrip/features/importexport.html

I use mysql workbench to do the same job.
create new schema
open newly created schema
right click on "Tables" and select "Table Data Import Wizard"
give the csv file path and table name and finally configure your column type because the wizard set default column type based on their values.
Note: take a look at mysql workbench's log file for any errors by using "tail -f [mysqlworkbenchpath]/log/wb*.log"

How to import csv files to sql tables
Example file: Overseas_trade_index data CSV File
Steps:
Need to create table for overseas_trade_index.
Need to create columns related to csv file.
SQL Query:
( id int not null primary key auto_increment,
series_reference varchar (60),
period varchar (60),
data_value decimal(60,0),
status varchar (60),
units varchar (60),
magnitude int(60),
subject text(60),
group text(60),
series_title_1 varchar (60),
series_title_2 varchar (60),
series_title_3 varchar (60),
series_title_4 varchar (60),
series_title_5 varchar (60),
);
Need to connect mysql database in terminal.
=>show databases;
=>use database;
=>show tables;
Please enter this command to import the csv data to mysql tables.
load data infile '/home/desktop/Documents/overseas.csv' into table trade_index fields terminated by ',' lines terminated by '\n' (series_reference,period,data_value,status,units,magnitude,subject,series_title1,series_title_2,series_title_3,series_title_4,series_title_5);
Find this overseas trade index data on sqldatabase:
select * from trade_index;

If you are using a windows machine with Excel spreadsheet loaded, the new mySql plugin to Excel is phenomenal. The folks at Oracle really did a nice job on that software. You can make the database connection directly from Excel. That plugin will analyse your data, and set up the tables for you in a format consistent with the data. I had some monster big csv files of data to convert. This tool was a big time saver.
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/excel/
You can make updates from within Excel that will populate to the database online. This worked exceedingly well with mySql files created on ultra inexpensive GoDaddy shared hosting. (Note when you create the table at GoDaddy, you have to select some off-standard settings to enable off site access of the database...)
With this plugin you have pure interactivity between your XL spreadsheet and online mySql data storage.

I know that my answer is late, but I'd like to mention a few other ways to do it.
The easiest one is using command line. The steps will be the following:
Accessing the MySQL CLI by entering the below command:
mysql -u my_user_name -p
Creating a table in the database
use new_schema;
CREATE TABLE employee_details (
id INTEGER,
employee_name VARCHAR(100),
employee_age INTEGER,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
Importing the CSV file into a table. We can either mention the file path or store the file in the default directory of the MySQL server.
LOAD DATA INFILE 'Path to the exported csv file'
INTO TABLE employee_details
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
IGNORE 1 ROWS;
It's the only one of many solutions, I found it in this tutorial
If loading CSV files into MySQL database is your daily task, then it'll be better to automate this process. In this case you can use some 3rd-party tools that allows you to load data in schedule.

PHP Query for import csv file to mysql database
$query = <<<EOF
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '$file'
INTO TABLE users
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES
(name,mobile,email)
EOF;
if (!$result = mysqli_query($this->db, $query))
{
exit(mysqli_error($this->db));
}
**Sample CSV file data **
name,mobile,email

Brandon Wilson,541-309-5149,BrandonMWilson#inbound.plus
Craig White,516-795-8065,CraigJWhite#inbound.plus
David Whitney,713-214-3966,DavidCWhitney#inbound.plus

Here is sample excel file screen shot:
Save as and choose .csv.
And you will have as shown below .csv data screen shot if you open using notepad++ or any other notepad.
Make sure you remove header and have column alignment in .csv as in mysql Table.
Replace folder_name by your folder name
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE
'D:/folder_name/myfilename.csv'
INTO TABLE mail
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
(fname,lname ,email, phone);
If big data, you can take coffee and have it load!.
Thats all you need.

Change servername,username, password,dbname,path of your file, tablename and the field which is in your database you want to insert
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$dbname = "bd_dashboard";
//For create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
$query = "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE
'C:/Users/lenovo/Desktop/my_data.csv'
INTO TABLE test_tab
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES
(name,mob)";
if (!$result = mysqli_query($conn, $query)){
echo '<script>alert("Oops... Some Error occured.");</script>';
exit();
//exit(mysqli_error());
}else{
echo '<script>alert("Data Inserted Successfully.");</script>'
}
?>

I did it in simple way using phpmyadmin. I followed the steps by #Farhan but all data were eltered in single column.
How I did:
Created a CSV file and deleted the header row with column names. Kept only data.
I created a table with column names matching the csv columns.
Remember to assign appropriate types to each column.
I just selected the import and went to import tab.
In browse I selected the CSV file and kept all options as it is.
To my surprise all the data got imported successfully in their appropriate columns.

When executing MySQL Query to import CSV I was getting error
'Error Code: 1290. The MySQL server is running with the --secure-file-priv option so it cannot execute this statement'
So I moved file to secure file location
LOAD DATA INFILE 'C:/ProgramData/MySQL/MySQL Server 8.0/Uploads/Orders.csv'
INTO TABLE orderdetails.orders
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 ROWS
Where location of file is 'C:/ProgramData/MySQL/MySQL Server 8.0/Uploads/Orders.csv' this is because, I moved my CSV file to 'secure_file_priv' location otherwise I was getting above error
You can get your secure_file_priv using query SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "secure_file_priv";

Loading a file using sqlloader

I was trying to insert a JSON file into a table which has only one column varchar2(4000) using sql loader. After I load I see the file text is loaded in multiple rows instead of one row , but I want them in one row , the whole file in one column and one row. Not sure why this is happening , is there a option to tell in the control file? here is my control file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'c:\json\sample-order.json'
INTO TABLE at_jsondocs
FIELDS
( jsontext CHAR(4000) )

See Alex Poole's explanation here, but the column in your table should be a CLOB, and you need to structure your control file like this:
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE at_jsondocs
(
x FILLER CHAR(1),
jsontext LOBFILE(CONSTANT "c:\json\sample-order.json") TERMINATED BY EOF
)
BEGINDATA
0

load data local infile - select ignoring last column

I'm trying to import csv file into mysql database using load data local infile
My csv file looks like this:
1;Lubos;Chrapna;92;muz;Topolcany
2;Branislav;Grecni;28;muz;Topolcianky
3;David;Forgac;57;muz;Hronsky Benadik
4;Imrich;Doci;58;muz;Kosice
table I wanna put this cvs file in looks like this:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS DIM_zakaznik (
id int(5),
meno varchar(15),
priezvisko varchar(15),
vek int(15),
pohlavie varchar(15),
bydlisko varchar(15))
and my query looks like this:
load data local infile 'dim_zakaznik.csv' into table DIM_zakaznik
fields terminated by ';'
enclosed by '\n'
lines terminated by '\n';
it works just fine and when I look at that table in phpMyAdmin everything looks OK but my problem is that when I'm trying to run select it's ignoring last column (called 'bydlisko')
for example I try this:
SELECT * FROM `dim_zakaznik` WHERE `bydlisko`='Topolcany'
and all it does it just says: "MySQL returned an empty result set (i.e. zero rows). ( Query took 0.0184 sec)"
it shouldn't be empty result right?
It's not working only with that last column and I have no idea why.
When I tried it before with those columns plus I added another one column (that column was last in table) it ignored that other column (that was last column in table)
I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks in advance!

Do not use "enclosed by '\n'" section in your query, as your fields in CSV are not delimited by '\n'. Try removing that section, then run your query again.
Also, just as a remark, be sure that you don't truncate column data. Last column is 15 chars long. Is that enough for 15-letters word ? (Varchar takes one more byte for length, so there would be necessarily 16 for value "Hronsky Benadik").

So an old one, but I just stumbled across this and noticed there's no good answers to it.
I see this happen every single time I assign and then grade an "upload csv homework" in a database class. What does your .csv file look like, you didn't show it here.
if this query you showed does NOT work:
SELECT * FROM `dim_zakaznik` WHERE `bydlisko`='Topolcany'
then I feel the need to ask, does this query work:
SELECT * FROM `dim_zakaznik` WHERE `bydlisko`=' Topolcany'
If so then remember: "spaces are for humans", and adjust your .csv file accordingly. (also checking LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' will help if your table is getting formatting issues.

Mysql LOAD DATA INFILE - input data unexpectedly truncated

I'm trying to load data into a table (obviously?). My table looks like this:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `condensed` (
`id` bigint(20) NOT NULL,
`src` enum('C_X','C_AH','C_AO','C_B','H_X','H_AH','H_AO','H_B') NOT NULL,
`hash` int(11) default NULL,
`ihash` int(11) default NULL,
`last_updated` datetime default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`,`src`),
UNIQUE KEY `covering` (`id`,`src`,`hash`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=ascii;
I've got data files with look like this:
320115816,'C_X',692983698,854142703,20120216220954
320124536,'C_X',588472049,1059436251,20100527232845
320120196,'C_X',452117509,855369958,20101118105505
...
But when I load it using
LOAD DATA INFILE '/path/to/data.csv'
IGNORE
INTO TABLE `condensed`
(id, src, hash, ihash, last_updated);
it only loads the first two columns (hash, ihash and last_updated are null).
320115816,'C_X',NULL,NULL,NULL
320124536,'C_X',NULL,NULL,NULL
320120196,'C_X',NULL,NULL,NULL
...
I do get a lot of warnings (presumably because mysql is discarding the 3 columns from the input set and assigning defaults)
Query OK, 20 rows affected, 100 warnings (0.00 sec)
Records: 20 Deleted: 0 Skipped: 0 Warnings: 100
(I intend to load several milion records - not just 20)
I get the same problem using mysqlimport.
Omitting an explicit field list from the LOAD DATA statement (same fields and order in database as in files) resulted in the same outcome.
MySQL version is 5.0.22, there are no non-printable characters in the input file.
Help!

Just add some improvement to Thilo's answer if you are using Windows.
LOAD DATA INFILE '/path/to/data.csv' IGNORE
INTO TABLE `condensed`
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '\''
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' --Windows right line terminator
(id, src, hash, ihash, last_updated)
It worked for me. It solved all my truncating problems on Windows. Also have a look at this :
http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?79,76131,76871

Never managed to resolve this. I ended up writing a wee php script to map the data into the db.

It's worth noting that, if the field MySQL is complaining about happens to be the final one in the table, there's a chance that you need to fix the FIELDS TERMINATED BY. On Windows I had to tell it \n instead of \r\n.

I was having similar problems with a CSV file created on an IBM mainframe that was moved to a Windows file server before being loaded. I was getting a truncation warning on all rows except the last. Mainframe file looked okay. Adding '\r\n' cleared the problem.

I think the quotes around only the enum field are confusing the import. Try this:
LOAD DATA INFILE '/path/to/data.csv' IGNORE
INTO TABLE `condensed`
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '\''
(id, src, hash, ihash, last_updated)

Yet another solution is to use csvsql tool from amazing csvkit suite.
Usage example:
csvsql --db mysql://$user:$password#localhost/$database --insert --tables $tablename $file
This tool can automatically infer the data types (default behavior), create table and insert the data into the created table. --overwrite option can be used to drop table if it already exists. --insert option — to populate the table from the file.
To install the suite
pip install csvkit
Prerequisites: python-dev, libmysqlclient-dev, MySQL-python
apt-get install python-dev libmysqlclient-dev
pip install MySQL-python

In case if you using Intellij

I use mysql workbench to do the same job.
create new schema
open newly created schema
right click on "Tables" and select "Table Data Import Wizard"
give the csv file path and table name and finally configure your column type because the wizard set default column type based on their values.
Note: take a look at mysql workbench's log file for any errors by using "tail -f [mysqlworkbenchpath]/log/wb*.log"

How to import csv files to sql tables
Example file: Overseas_trade_index data CSV File
Steps:
Need to create table for overseas_trade_index.
Need to create columns related to csv file.
SQL Query:
( id int not null primary key auto_increment,
series_reference varchar (60),
period varchar (60),
data_value decimal(60,0),
status varchar (60),
units varchar (60),
magnitude int(60),
subject text(60),
group text(60),
series_title_1 varchar (60),
series_title_2 varchar (60),
series_title_3 varchar (60),
series_title_4 varchar (60),
series_title_5 varchar (60),
);
Need to connect mysql database in terminal.
=>show databases;
=>use database;
=>show tables;
Please enter this command to import the csv data to mysql tables.
load data infile '/home/desktop/Documents/overseas.csv' into table trade_index fields terminated by ',' lines terminated by '\n' (series_reference,period,data_value,status,units,magnitude,subject,series_title1,series_title_2,series_title_3,series_title_4,series_title_5);
Find this overseas trade index data on sqldatabase:
select * from trade_index;

If you are using a windows machine with Excel spreadsheet loaded, the new mySql plugin to Excel is phenomenal. The folks at Oracle really did a nice job on that software. You can make the database connection directly from Excel. That plugin will analyse your data, and set up the tables for you in a format consistent with the data. I had some monster big csv files of data to convert. This tool was a big time saver.
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/excel/
You can make updates from within Excel that will populate to the database online. This worked exceedingly well with mySql files created on ultra inexpensive GoDaddy shared hosting. (Note when you create the table at GoDaddy, you have to select some off-standard settings to enable off site access of the database...)
With this plugin you have pure interactivity between your XL spreadsheet and online mySql data storage.

I know that my answer is late, but I'd like to mention a few other ways to do it.
The easiest one is using command line. The steps will be the following:
Accessing the MySQL CLI by entering the below command:
mysql -u my_user_name -p
Creating a table in the database
use new_schema;
CREATE TABLE employee_details (
id INTEGER,
employee_name VARCHAR(100),
employee_age INTEGER,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
Importing the CSV file into a table. We can either mention the file path or store the file in the default directory of the MySQL server.
LOAD DATA INFILE 'Path to the exported csv file'
INTO TABLE employee_details
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
IGNORE 1 ROWS;
It's the only one of many solutions, I found it in this tutorial
If loading CSV files into MySQL database is your daily task, then it'll be better to automate this process. In this case you can use some 3rd-party tools that allows you to load data in schedule.

PHP Query for import csv file to mysql database
$query = <<<EOF
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '$file'
INTO TABLE users
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES
(name,mobile,email)
EOF;
if (!$result = mysqli_query($this->db, $query))
{
exit(mysqli_error($this->db));
}
**Sample CSV file data **
name,mobile,email

Here is sample excel file screen shot:
Save as and choose .csv.
And you will have as shown below .csv data screen shot if you open using notepad++ or any other notepad.
Make sure you remove header and have column alignment in .csv as in mysql Table.
Replace folder_name by your folder name
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE
'D:/folder_name/myfilename.csv'
INTO TABLE mail
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
(fname,lname ,email, phone);
If big data, you can take coffee and have it load!.
Thats all you need.

Change servername,username, password,dbname,path of your file, tablename and the field which is in your database you want to insert
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$dbname = "bd_dashboard";
//For create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
$query = "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE
'C:/Users/lenovo/Desktop/my_data.csv'
INTO TABLE test_tab
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES
(name,mob)";
if (!$result = mysqli_query($conn, $query)){
echo '<script>alert("Oops... Some Error occured.");</script>';
exit();
//exit(mysqli_error());
}else{
echo '<script>alert("Data Inserted Successfully.");</script>'
}
?>

I did it in simple way using phpmyadmin. I followed the steps by #Farhan but all data were eltered in single column.
How I did:
Created a CSV file and deleted the header row with column names. Kept only data.
I created a table with column names matching the csv columns.
Remember to assign appropriate types to each column.
I just selected the import and went to import tab.
In browse I selected the CSV file and kept all options as it is.
To my surprise all the data got imported successfully in their appropriate columns.

When executing MySQL Query to import CSV I was getting error
'Error Code: 1290. The MySQL server is running with the --secure-file-priv option so it cannot execute this statement'
So I moved file to secure file location
LOAD DATA INFILE 'C:/ProgramData/MySQL/MySQL Server 8.0/Uploads/Orders.csv'
INTO TABLE orderdetails.orders
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 ROWS
Where location of file is 'C:/ProgramData/MySQL/MySQL Server 8.0/Uploads/Orders.csv' this is because, I moved my CSV file to 'secure_file_priv' location otherwise I was getting above error
You can get your secure_file_priv using query SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "secure_file_priv";
