What are the potential choices for LINES TERMINATED BY in MySQL?
I have a CSV file that I am trying to upload and neither \r\n, \n, or \r work.
Try inspecting the file using a binary-displaying utility like od (http://swoolley.org/man.cgi/1/od). That will show you imediately how your lines are terminated.
I agree with brian.
Query which i used to work are as follows.
load data local infile 'test.csv'
into table test_field fields
terminated by ','
lines terminated by '\n'

I have two records for example like this
11,avec myName à EX,Ex,0,2021-06-25
22,"andone \"ttt\"",Ex,0,2021-06-25
I am trying to load this into a table with MySQL with load data, and every time I try it, the quotes get cut off, or the back spaces don't show up.
I need to know if this is even possible. Can those two records go into a table and look exactly like they are in the CSV file?
I am using MySQL and trying
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'example.csv' INTO TABLE example;
Use the ENCLOSED BY and ESCAPED BY options.
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'example.csv'
INTO TABLE example
FIELDS OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
ESCAPED BY '\\';
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'example.csv' INTO TABLE example
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
ESCAPED BY '\\'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES
(col1, col2, col3.col4,col5);
In mysql 8 this will get you an error please read
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/load-data.html#load-data-file-location
Windws uses LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'
if the file comes from a linux system use `LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
it os hard to tell without seeing the file what parameters would help exactly so you should try some variants out`.
also a editor with hexfile capability helps in such cases to analyse the struicture
I am trying to import 300 mg csv file into mySql table. I am using this command:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'c:/csv/bigCSV.csv' IGNORE
INTO TABLE table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES
And it works great with small files (1 mg and so on), but when I try to load a big file like the one mentioned, MySql Workbench (which I use to execute my queries) runs the command, everything ok and green but 0 rows affected. No changes at all in the table.
I am 10000% sure that the table is ok because when I take a portion of that file, eg 1mg and load it into the same table it works fine.
Did anyone had this kind of problems?
Thank you.
I have "solved" it. Don`t know why and I feel stupid for not playing with the statement earlier but like this:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'c:/csv/eventsbig.csv' IGNORE
INTO TABLE std9
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
Without the "IGNORE 1 LINES" at the end and it works with files of any size.
LOAD DATA LOW_PRIORITY LOCAL INFILE 'C:\\Learning\\App6_DBconnection\\CC.csv'
INTO TABLE `test`.`ccd`
CHARACTER SET armscii8
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' ESCAPED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES (`Cd_Type`, `Full_Name`, `Billing_Date`);
This will work even for large data sets of more than 1.5 million records.
I am trying to load large text files that are delimited by DEL. Using Coldfusion I can do chr(127), but that doesn't seem to work here
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "C:\\inetpub\\vhosts\\mysite.com\\dataload.data"
INTO TABLE tbl_data
COLUMNS TERMINATED BY '\0x7F'
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
ESCAPED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES;
I have been searching and trying a number of things that look like they can be DEL characters. Does anyone have any suggestions for the COLUMNS TERMINATED BY line?
After a lot of searching, I found that my original statement was close. The answer is:
COLUMNS TERMINATED BY X'7F'
I've been using the following command to expert mysql data to a csv file.
SELECT * INTO OUTFILE 'output.csv' FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' FROM table1;
It works for simple tables with simple data. However, if the table contains html tags, double quotes, single quotes, ascii characters etc, it does not work propertly, i.e. it will put tabs and new lines in incorrect places, breaking up data where it shouldn't. How can the sql script above be improved to export data with html?
I have tried SELECT...INTO OUTFILE statement, and then LOAD DATA INFILE statement, everything is OK, the HTML text was exported/imported without any mistakes (on MySQL 5.5).
Try to add ENCLOSED BY option, it should help you, e.g. -
SELECT *
INTO OUTFILE 'output.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
FROM
table1;
LOAD DATA INFILE 'output.csv'
INTO TABLE table1
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';
I have a csv file that I'm trying to import via the command line. But only 1 row is being inserted.
They are comma separated values. I'm on a Mac using Excel Mac. I save as a csv file. How can I tell if the lines are terminated by \r or \n or both? Here is the code I used:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/Users/eric/Documents/contacts_test.csv' INTO TABLE `contacts_tmp` FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ESCAPED BY '\\' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' (clientid,contactid,title,fname,mname,lname,suffixname,salutation,occupation,employer,home_addr1,home_addr2,home_city,home_state,home_zip,home_county,primary_addr1,primary_addr2,primary_city,primary_state,primary_zip,primary_county,work_addr1,work_addr2,work_city,work_state,work_zip,work_county,email,phone_home,phone_mobile,phone_work,fax,phone_other,codes);
thanks
I would just recommend trying the same command with ... LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' ... and see if you have better luck.
Had the same issue, LINES TERMINATED BY '\r' did the job.
If in your file the line is terminated by the ,, then you should add LINES TERMINATED BY ',\r\n'.
This will solve your issue as it did with mine.
Mac text files usually end in \r but you can find this out by using a hex editor and seeing what the lines end with.
Just try removing LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' altogether from your query.
If you don't specify a delimiter, MySQL fill figure it out automatically.
