I have a csv file that corresponds to what our user table looks like. Essentially we need to do a bulk import, what would be a good way to do this in MySQL without writing a custom script that just issues an SQL insert?
You could use load data infile
IE:
load data local infile 'uniq.csv' into table tblUniq
fields terminated by ','
enclosed by '"'
lines terminated by '\n'
(uniqName, uniqCity, uniqComments)
you can use phpmyadmin
which is the best tools for developers to do every thing easyly
here you have to choose the file click csv and just lload it
very easy............right
you can download it from here
http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/downloads.php ( also install apache along with this )
you can also use wamp server which include phpmyadmin (best for windows)

I want to insert files in my folder into mysql using the query below.
Structure of directory
1/
--first.csv
--second_123.csv
--second_124.csv
--second_125.csv
2/
--first.csv
--second_223.csv
--second_224.csv
--second_225.csv
LOAD DATA INFILE '/1/first.csv'
INTO TABLE tabel_name
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 ROWS;
How can I loop over the files to insert all the files. I want to write it in .sql file
When you want to determine the file names with code, you can't. A database is not meant to be able to scan filesystems and so on. If it could, I'd have some serious security concerns. There is the system command in the mysql client, that let's you do things. But that's just for convenience. You can't parse the result of it.
i'm really disappointed that only one person have some idea how to solve my problem!!!
I already have try to find thoroughly (2 hours!) the answer in all the other discussion, but nothing compare to my challenge!
I work with a hosted phpmyadmin installation with Win 10 and I try to load a file in a table.
When I start the import function of phpmyadmin, the sql-script will be found and started, but I get allways the
error #7890 – can’t find file ‘D:\Loader\doshas.txt’.
'load.sql':
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE “D:\Loader\doshas.txt” INTO TABLE doshas terminated by ‘,’;
The file 'load.sql' is in the same folder as doshas.txt!
What’s wrong?
Regards and thanks
Probably you haven't specified special characters.
I believe better way is to use LOAD DATA INFILE.
Let's say you want to load the file doshas.txt to my_table with columns col_a, col_b, col_c.
Put the txt file in the path of mysql of phpadmin ex.For XAMPP is xamp\mysql\data
Then in phpmyadmin -> code SQL write
LOAD DATA INFILE 'doshas.txt' INTO TABLE `my_table`
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
(col_a, col_b, col_c);
Hello I wondering is there way I can update a CSV file into mysql database. At this current time I have created a database in mysqlworkbench which connected to mysql sever. Then I upload CSV file into database which updates auto on webmin webserver.
The question I want to ask is how can I link new CSV file onto the database automatically.
Create database table with same numbers of columns present in the csv file.
Run following query:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'c:/import.csv' INTO TABLE <table> FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'
I have a table on the development box with exactly the same format as another one on the production server. The data on the development need to be appended/inserted into the production where I don't have the permission to create a table.
I was thinking about doing something like insert into production_table select * from develop_table, however, since I cannot create a new table develop_table, then this is impossible to do.
I am using Sequal Pro, and I don't know is there a way to export my development table to a file (CSV/SQL), then I can run some command on my client side to load from that file into the production without overwriting the production table?
Assuming your production table has primray / unique key(s), you can export the data in your development server as a .csv file, and load it into your production server with load data, specifying if you want to replace/ignore the duplicated rows.
Example:
In your development server you must export the data to a .csv file. You can use select into... to do that:
select *
into outfile '/home/user_dev/your_table.csv'
fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"'
lines terminated by '\n'
from your_table;
In your production server, copy the your_table.csv file and load it using load data...:
load data infile '/home/user_prod/your_table.csv'
replace -- This will replace any rows with duplicated primary | unique key values.
-- If you don't want to replace the rows, use "ignore" instead of "replace"
into table your_table
fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"'
lines terminated by '\n';
Read the reference manual (links provided above) for additional information.
What I did is to type this query:
SELECT * FROM report;
then click the Import Records from an External File in MySQL Workbench. It worked and it was imported in my database. The problem is that the header is also imported.
What should I do to import everything except the header?
Ive never really used MySQL workbench, but the best way to import a .csv is with LOAD DATA INFILE.
Example:
LOAD DATA INFILE '{$file_path}' INTO TABLE {$table} FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '\"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' IGNORE 1 LINES
Note that your LINES TERMINATED BY may be different based on the way your .csv is formatted. It could also be \n' or less commonly '\r'.
