[kwlug-disc] Tools to get data into a mysql database

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

Is your data in CSV format, or close to that?

If so, then use the LOAD DATE INFILE

Example:

LOAD DATA INFILE 'filename.csv' INTO TABLE *your_table_name*
  FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"'
  LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'
  IGNORE 1 LINES;


Here are the details on that command:
