Insert File Data Into Text Field
I've built a database locally and have inputed some information. I need to go back and update some records, specifically by taking long pieces of text and putting them into text fields. Cutting and pasting in the command prompt for windows isn't such a good idea. Is there a way to update an existing record by importing a text file into a text field? All the info I'm seeing in the MySQL manual and in these groups is for importing text-deliniated files.

Updating Field With Contents Of Temporary Field
I have a table, that when new information is entered for it the new info is held in a temporary table that has exactly the same fields (the only difference is the auto increment pid in the original table is not auto increment in the temporary one - it holds the pid from the original). I need to be able to update the original with the contents of the temporary field, all fields are updated. Is there an easy way to do this, or will I need to select from the temporary and then run the update setting all the fields explicitly. I have tried something like [code] Update villas SELECT * FROM updatevilla WHERE pid='$villapid' [/code ] in php but it doesn't work. I think I see what some of the problem is but am not sure how to fully write the query.

Timestamp Field Not Updating When Record Modified
I have a couple different tables ... all of which I am trying to use a timestamp field to track when records were changed. The problem is that when the records are updated the timestamps are all showing up as all zeros.

This is happening on 4 different tables in 2 different databases (all on the same server tho).

Using Text File
I am using the book "PHP and MySQL Web Development" by Sams Publishing to learn MySQL. The authors provide a CD with lots of source files in text format. They give a command to run or these files, but the path to the files is unclear. It just lists the file names and not any path from C: to the actual directory. I've tried specifying the full path from C:documents and settingsmy user name...file.sql but this does not work. I've also tried forward slashes.What do I do to specify the path to run a file to input commands in MySQL? Or how do I change the working directory to the place where the file is located?

How can I do this?
Re-write Text File
i'm creating a log file regarding database operations. My problem is i want to append a new record into the log file each time i update my database. Previously I've used the following method to create a file: SELECT * INTO OUTFILE 'c:/"+fileName[i]+" ' FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' LINES TERMINATED BY ' ' FROM "+tableName[i]+"; MY problem is I cannot re-use the file created. Is there any way to call the same file for the purpose of re-use. Or maybe the OUTFILE do not allow file created to be re-use.

Text File Import
I'm importing a large text file (8 million lines) into a mysql table via the heidisql front end. Each line has 42 fields (tab separated) so there's a lot of data to bring in. I tested the import with a truncated version of the text file (10,000 lines) and the import worked fine. It took about a minute (i think) to import. Now though, the full version (which is 800x as long) has been importing for nearly 48 hours. Heidisql seems to be still working - it hasn't frozen, it's busy. Is it normal for a file of this size to take so long to import?
Inserting Text File
I've created a simple database that stores various little bits of information using varchar datatypes. But for each record i need to store a textfile that specifically has 60 characters per line. What i want to do is load the text in a way such that it remebers the new line characters, so that when i print it out on a webpage using perl cgi / dbi it prints the file out the way i want- i.e 60 characters per line and therefore multiple lines. Is there a way i can do this?

Inserting Text File Into Mysql...
Basically I'm new at this whole databasing thing (shudders) so please forgive me if my description of my problem is a little hodgepodge at best... I use MySQL 4.0.27-standard w/ phpmyadmin... Basically I have a friend doing most of the databasing for me so I'm good with that but he has alluded to something possibly being possible and I'd like to see if you wonderful folk could perhaps solve this. I would basically like to upload a text file like that described below: PHP $$***+++***$$ Famous Person $$$**--**$$$ content content content $$***+++***$$ Famous Person $$$**--**$$$ content content content $$***+++***$$$ Famous Person $$$**--**$$$ content content content $$***+++***$$ etc... So as you can see I could seperate the content in the text file (shown above) by some random string that won't occur elsewhere.... Then I'd like to place all the famous people in one field (.. whatever it's called)... With all the content in the field over from it. So like I'd have field : authors name = Famous Person 1, then field : information = content. This would help so much w/ how fast I could get all the content into my site.. My friend has a degree in cpu programming so he's a smart cookie, but any code, or sources, or any help on how to do this would be appreciated. Also if i left out anything important please just ask..

Formatted Output To A Text File
I'd like to be able to write selected fields from a table to a csv text file. However, I need to be able to write some header lines to the file first, then the csv data, then some footer lines. Question 1: What is the best way to do this. Using the SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE won't allow me to write the headers and footers. TEE includes the mysql> prompts, etc. There doesn't seem to be a straight forward fopen, printf sort of commands. Question 2: How do you write a string like the header lines? PRINT doesn't seem to work.

What command should I use? I wish to use LOAD DATA INFILE but in wich way? Something like LOAD DATA INFILE "myfile.dat" into table01(a, b, c); would be enought or I'll have only '7' and not '7 89'in row c?
Importing A Text File To MySQL
I've looked at the other issues involving importing a text file and it appears my situation is different. I have a web host which provides me with a MySQL database, however, I also use the MySQL Administrator on my XP PRO machine at home.

Using PHPMyAdmin To Insert A Text File

Do I need to move the text file local? If so how do I give the file path name on a linux system?

MySQL Import Text File Too Big?
Our production database in an exported textfil runs about 60 MB. Compressed that's about 9 MB. I'm trying to import the export into another machine running FC3 and mySQL 11.18, and it appears as though the file may be too big! When I try to do it via command line: mysql -u root --host=localhost printing < ./printing.txt It eventually errors out with a "syntax error on line X" and only about half the tables get imported, and MyPHPAdmin GUI interface says it has a 2MB file limit on importing. This concerns me. If something were to happen to our production database, how am I going to restore it? I tried to do a search on mysql.com, but that's a less than helpful site for support. A newsgroup search on the topic didn't come up with much, so maybe I'm just bad at using keywords.
