MYSQL :: Using Non Root User To LOAD DATA INFILE

How To Export Data From Phpmyadmin Into LOAD DATA INFILE Syntax
I have a table with a lot of data (several millions of records).
I would like to export the data using phpmyadmin into a SQL file. I know that phpmyadmin has an export feature.

I need the exported data to be in the LOAD DATA INFILE format after the export. Is there a way to achieve this?
Regular export uses the INSERT INTO ... syntax for the data.

LOAD DATA INFILE To Import Data Exported From A MS Access Xp
I am trying to use LOAD DATA INFILE to import data exported from a MS Access Xp table. But all i get in the date field is 00:00:00, as Access exports DATE and TIME and MySQL seems to use just the TIME portion of this.

Is there any way to ahve MySQL import just the DATE portion or is there any way to have Access export only the DATE portion?

LOAD DATA INFILE
I have two problems/questions regarding LOAD DATA INFILE, I am using MySql 5.023 and the Innodb storage engine.

1) I need to load large files into a db on a regular basis. When I run LOAD DATA INFILE it works great and is very fast. If I run it again it completely overwrites my existing data. In my data file I do not specify the primary key field as it is auto incremented by MySql. I was assuming that LOAD DATA INFILE would add data on top of existing data. Am I incorrect? Is there something I can do to avoid this?

2) On a related note, when I use LOAD DATA INFILE the indexes in my DB are wiped out. Any ideas?

LOAD DATA INFILE
I get file not found error

DBD::mysql::db do failed: File 'C:Program FilesApache GroupApache2htdocsdbasecode_tablescode_table_4677.txt' not found (Errcode: 2)

I have to be able to place the text file outside of mysql directory and load it with an absolute path.

This is my query:

LOAD DATA LOW_PRIORITY INFILE 'C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/dbase/code_tables/code_table_4677.txt' INTO TABLE code_table_4677

LOAD DATA INFILE
i try to import a textfile into a database (MySQL 4.0.24 on Debian 3) with the following command:

mysql -u username -ppassword -e "LOAD DATA INFILE '/var/html/datei.csv' INTO TABLE tname FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' " datenbank

I get different errors in relation to the mysql-user i used:

User:

LOAD DATA INFILE
I have a table called: tbltest
with 2 fields: ProcDate (datetime), TranNumber (varchar(6))

I am trying to input this file (test.txt):
2006-12-26 0:00:00000161
2006-12-26 0:00:00000162

The command I issue is:
load data infile 'C:/Access/Exports/WWL/test.txt' into table tbltest
lines terminated by '

I get this error:
Incorrect datetime value: '

No matter how I format the text file I can't get it to work.

LOAD DATA INFILE
I'm trying to use this instruction:

LOAD DATA INFILE 'e:/justp/prev/dump/bgm_bin.txt' INTO TABLE orPhrases (content) SET orfile=1

but the last part (SET orfile=1) triggers an error and I don't know why. I just want to set a value for that column (orfile) in all rows created by the instruction.

I've been reading the reference, but I can't find what wrong.

Load Data Infile
I had a quick question concerning load data infile. I have a tab-delimited data file (unfortunately I cannot provide a copy to it because it contains senstive data. Whenever it comes to empty date fields, it fails. The table is set to allow for null dates though. Here's my query.

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'Z:/Websites/Workspace/Agency Works Data Export Files/decrypted/2006/August/8-14-2006/349/PLAN.txt' REPLACE

LOAD DATA INFILE
What is wrong with this command?

mysql> load data infile '/Users/chap/People.csv' into table People replace fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"' lines terminated by '
' ( natural_key, prefix, first_name, last_name, address_1, address_2, city, state, zip);

The error message is

ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'replace fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"' lines terminated by ' at line 1

The server version is 5.0.41 .

Load Data Infile
I would like to use "load data infile" in a bash script like this since :

mysql -u$username -p$password $db -e "load data infile '/app/sbcnwe/tmp/$i-iss-so.csv' replace into table iss_so FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' ENCLOSED BY '"' ignore 1 lines;"

As you can see there are problems with the " since I mysql needs them for enclosing the whole command, and I also need them to tell mysql how my fields are enclsed.

Is there a solution for this problem?

Load Data Infile
i'm trying to use the load data infile addin of mysql to load some text values to a table. unfortunaltety my verssion of mysql doesnt support it. As with all things, is there any other way to do this?

LOAD DATA INFILE
When I try to issue a LOAD DATA INFILE statement from the MySQLAdministrator SQL page, I get the following error:

#1045 - Access denied for user

I am logged in and I have access to the file being processed, but still nothing. I've also tried this from a PHP script and get no response whatsoever.

HOWEVER, if I use the Import tab from MySQLAdministrator, I am able to process the file just fine! How does this code differ from what I'm trying to do with the LOAD DATA INFILE command?

LOAD DATA INFILE
The error: Out of range value adjusted for column "LibraryID" at row 1

Table:

`Title` VARCHAR(250),
`Author` VARCHAR(250),
`Description` TEXT,

`DatePub` VARCHAR(45),

INFILE Statement causing the error:

Data in library3.txt:

LOAD DATA INFILE
Is it possible to update a column using LOAD DATA INFILE, So the following is an example:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'c:/test.txt'
INTO TABLE test
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '
'
(lname, fname, zip);

Results:

id | fname | lname | zip
1 | kurt | russell | 45678
2 | worth | tim | 45687
3 | ridd | sherly | 45698

Now, I would like to load a file into the test table to replace only the zip column with the following:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'c:/test.txt'
REPLACE INTO TABLE test
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '
'
(zip);

But the above query removes the current data and sets only the zip and removes id, fname, lname. I would like it to update the zip column only. Is it possible?

Load Data Infile
I am trying to load a a large data fille (half a million records). Currently it is a text file, tab delimited. I have some fields in it that are numeric, nullable. In the text file when a row has a null in this field, it basically shows up as back-to-back tabs with nothing in between them.

I have text fields that are the same, but the first time I get an error (on row 1 which has a number of these nulls) it is on a numeric field.

How can I tell MySQL to interpret back-to-back tabs as tab NULL tab and put nulls in the right columns? Does text vs integer matter in the table definition? It is the fact that it falls apart on a numeric field coincidence?

(The exact error is 1264 - Out of range value adjusted for column 'hbem3' at row 1).

Load Data Infile
The table is defined as follows
table name (guests)
idnum varchar(9)
guestname varchar(50)
comming varchar(5)

The text file looks like this:
plichtam,mike plichta,No
kapelins,Jackie Kapelinski,Yes

The command I am using to read the data in is:

load data infile 'guests.csv'
into table guests
fields terminated by ','
lines terminated by '
';

All my records are processed but the table ends up getting extra characters in it. This is what I get when I do a select * from guests;

|htam,mike plichta,No
|elins,Jackie Kapelinski,Yes

Note that the idnum is cut off and after the No and the Yes, the table border doesn't show up as if it's captured the new line character inside the field. I have determined this by using using *'s as the new line character and it puts the stars in the field.

So I thought that the character set of latin1 was causing the problem. I believe my US windows XP computer stores its text files in ascii formatt. I changed this value in the my.ini file but I'm not sure if it actually changed it (even after restarting the service). Using the bin command mysqld --verbose --help shows that the default character set is still latin1 but I don't know if that's acurate.

LOAD DATA INFILE
here is the picture:

website (PHP/MySql) will give access to many existing vendors & partners to upload their large inventories of electronic components on daily/weekly basis.
Excel or text files (from several hundred to several thousands records each) have to be uploaded to our server and after that inserted into MySql DB.
I like LOAD DATA INFILE for its speed but I have no clue how to supply values for Auto Increment ID field in our case.

List of fields that will be supplied in text data files:
VendorID
PartNumber
PartDescription
PartManufacturer

I have tried INSERT but it is too slow.

LOAD DATA INFILE
I am trying to load a pipe delimited file into my database. The fields in my text file are not in the same order as my database columns, and the number of columns are not the same. Basically I am receiving listing of products from different clients of mine and I need to get them into my database.

My error message is:

Load Data Infile
I'm using a mysql monitor under cygwin (on win xp) to do a 'load data
infile' to put some data into a mysql database (I'm using the xampp
bundle)..

My problem is that I have a four line CSV file beign inserted, but only
two records actually get inserted:

mysql> use master; delete from data; LOAD DATA INFILE
'D:/customJobs/database setup/dbaseFourLines.csv' REPLACE INTO TABLE
data FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' ESCAPED BY '';
Database changed
Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 2 Deleted: 0 Skipped: 0 Warnings: 12

Another csv file with 933 records gets imported ok...

Can someone confirm for me I am using the right syntax for import?
Could it be that my CSV file doesn't religiously quote every field?
(i.e. empty fields are just empty, do not contain "")

I've tried removing the OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' ESCAPED BY '' from
the end and I get the same results.
The table structure is very 'normal' - the only only primary key is the
auto-increment index ID, the rest are normal fields (i.e. not primary,
unique, or index).

Load Data Infile
I'm trying to import data exported from a UDB database, so the .txt file has quotes and commas etc:
"G-BMXL","Piper ","Tomahawk ","PA38 ","1998-01-28-12.50.00.000000",
"G-BORK","Piper ","Warrior ","PA28 ","2005-09-14-16.40.00.000000",
and I haven't been able to get a correct set of FIELDS and LINES parameters together to deal with this.

However, by way of experiment I've gone right back to basics and done a plain
mysql> select * from aircraft
-> into outfile 'aircraft.txt'
-> ;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)
followed by a plain
mysql> load data infile 'aircraft.txt'
-> into aircraft
-> ;
which fails
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version
for the right syntax to use near 'aircraft' at line 2

This is MySQL 5 (Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.12-beta, for Win32 (ia32)) running on Windows XP 2002. I've tried using the
LINES TERMINATED BY ''
option, but no joy. If someone could get me a working syntax for the simple load, then I can probably nut out the complexity of dealing with the DB2 file.

LOAD DATA INFILE
Is there any way I can see what causes the warnings (and for which
line in my CSV file) when I use LOAD DATA INFILE?

I have a file I want to LOAD DATA INFILE 'myfile.txt' INTO TABLE results. However, I want to translate the first field in each line of myfile.txt from a seq_name to a seq_id before I insert the row into results. The table and file structures are below:

Code:

TABLE results:
r_id int(10) unsigned not null auto_increment primary key
seq_id int(10) unsigned not null,
various other fields

TABLE sequence:
seq_id int(10) unsigned not null auto_increment primary key
seq_name varchar(40) not null unique
various other fields

myfile.txt
seq_name, various, other, fields.

LOAD DATA INFILE
Since today I've been using mysql 5.0 ann now I can't use "Load Data infile" versus ODBC, I always get the message "access denied", what is now wrong?? I granted the user root all privileges, but it doen't help???

LOAD DATA INFILE
I've done some seasrching around because the LOAD DATA INFILE SQL statement would not work in my script, and I found that the FILE privilege needs to be granted to a user.

How do I go about doing this? Is it possible from phpMyAdmin?

Load Data Infile
One of the columns in the data file refers to a field in a table, but the table into which it is being inserted needs to extract the primary key relating to said data. Make sense?
The data in file has column 'productCode'.
However the table im inserting into has column 'productID', which is related to productCode in another table.

So what I'm wanting to do is insert from file (column1, column2, column3, (SELECT productID FROM products WHERE productID = productCode), column5....

LOAD DATA INFILE
After recently replicating using the stop databases and copy innodb and
mysql files method, things were fine...Until the slave thread stopped complaining about duplicate rows after one of our developers did a LOAD DATA INFILE operation on the master.=20
Unfortunately the insert's are into a table using AUTO_INCREMENT as well
and this may be compounding the problem.I have read the docs, but it's sort of unclear, does LOAD DATA INFILE
work in a replicated 3.23.56-1 setup, only under certain circumstances,
or not at all?

Load Data Infile
My question is this I need to load a file (b/c of the size I don't want to use insert statements) with load data local infile. The problem is I need to add a static value to each record created by the load that will serve as the key. In version 5 of MySql this is no problem because I can use set w/ load data infile to accomplish what I need. However I need to do this in an older version. Any thoughts on how I could pull this off?

LOAD DATA INFILE
I need to use LOAD DATA INFILE on files currently in /home/[user]/public_html/ via a PHP script. Evidently, because of MySQL's permissions on the filesystem, it won't be able to access the file unless it is is in MySQL's data directory, on my system, /var/lib/mysql/[db]/. What would be my best course of action? My goal is to run a PHP script in public_html and import my CSV files. Should I have the PHP script move the file to some other location accessible by MySQL (though I think it may not be able to do that because of permissions as well?) or allow MySQL to access all directories up to public_html? (how would I do this safely/securely?)

LOAD DATA INFILE
I noticed when i used the last insert id method in mysql after running a LOAD DATA INFILE query, 0 is returned, even though the query was successfull.
Is there a function I could use alternatively, or perhaps an option that I need to change

LOAD DATA INFILE
I'm trying to insert some records in a table. The fields are enclosed by +++---+++ and seperated by a horizontal tab. I'm getting an error when executing:

LOAD DATA INFILE '/tmp/records.txt'
INTO records
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ' ' ENCLOSED BY '+++---+++';

This is the error that mysql gives me.

ERROR 1083 (42000): Field separator argument is not what is expected; check the manual
I've checked the manual and I don't see what's wrong with my statement.
Does someone know how to fix this?

Load Data Infile
I am trying to load a text file located in my public_html folder into a MySQL database table. I do not own the server, but use a hosting company.I am able to 'insert' data, so the connection is good, but I am unable to 'Load Data Infile' owing to the fact that my hosting company are unsure how to grant me the FILE privilege, as they do not know what it is, and no-one there understands it
Does anyone know of another way to read the contents of a text file into a MySQL table without having the FILE privilege enabled?

Load Data Infile
I am having a problem loading a csv file into a MySQL server running on a remote machine. I am getting the error:

Query failed with error(13) : Can't get stat of '{file path}' (Errcode: 13).

The path is the absolute location on the uploaded file. I have, for the purposes of ruling this out as a problem, given the both the file and directory full permissions to everyone. The file is definately in the location given by {file_path} as I have checked.
I have file permissions. As the MySQL is administered by an external hosting company, they have disabled the 'Local' sql statement.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why I am getting this error?

Load Data Infile
I have a text file full of data that i need to import into mysql.
The issue im having is i need the data importing into the 2nd field of the table. The first column is id and set to auto increment, also if possible could the 3rd and 4th have a default value entered. Ive tried the following but i keep getting 'Duplicate entry 127 for key 1 errors.

Code:

LOAD DATA INFILE '/path to txt' INTO TABLE test (column2);

LOAD DATA INFILE
in Oracle I'd throw log files into tables with a load data infile command. Now I'm in MySQL and I have some log files I need to put into tables. The problem is that the referrer field is longer than 255. I don't really want to put them in a text field - I just want to truncate the data.
But Mysql is just throwing these rows away. How do I get mysql to thow them into another file? or better yet what's the syntax on truncating varchar data that's just too long & I don't care?
We aren't using Primary Keys on this table so some solutions will be problematic

Load Data Infile &
I am building a web app to load data into MySQL db from an uploaded file. When using LOAD DATA INFILE, if I do not use LOCAL, does a client (viewing my web page) need to have any MySQL client components installed locally? I guess not if all processing takes place on the server, but I just thought I'd double check.
Also, is there a way to manipulate data inserted with LOAD DATA INFILE, say I want to remove all special characters from strings before loading data.
And finally, is there a way of mimicking Oracle's translate function in MySQL?

LOAD DATA INFILE
I used to think that MySQL handled import / export of text files significantly differently than, say, MS Access. The main difference, I thought, was that Access allows the FIELDS TERMINATED BY and LINES TERMINATED BY characters within quoted field values and MySQL does not.

I've been looking into it further today and it appears that MySQL behaves the same way. I was under the impression that MySQL required those characters to be prefixed with the FIELDS ESCAPED BY character, but it appears that's not required -- when there is a FIELDS ENCLOSED BY character.

Is that the case? FIELDS TERMINATED BY and LINES TERMINATED BY only need to be prefixed with FIELDS ESCAPED BY when there is no FIELDS ENCLOSED BY character?

LOAD DATA INFILE
I'm trying to insert data into a table from an uploaded file that contains product information for a custom shopping basket. This file itself isn't really in a proper format so i started by using a script that parsed the file and used INSERT for each row. this works fine while the file is small but when i tried it with the full size file that contains over 1000 lines its too slow and the server times out and only gets to about line 600.
I moved on to trying LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE. now if i try adding this direct into MySQL at the command line interface it works fine (apart from a few errors) but when i try doing this through my local server via my script i get the error
The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version
this doesn't make any sence to me since it works from the command line
I am using perl and the DBI module if this makes a difference

Load Data Infile Using Query: Possible?
I am well pleased with myself for having managed to load data from a text file into mysql. However have now come up against another problem.

One of the columns in the data file refers to a field in a table, but the table into which it is being inserted needs to extract the primary key relating to said data. Make sense?

The data in file has column 'productCode'.
However the table im inserting into has column 'productID', which is related to productCode in another table.

So what I'm wanting to do is insert from file (column1, column2, column3, (SELECT productID FROM products WHERE productID = productCode), column5....

Is this at all possible?

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE
I am using LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE to load a data file into my table. Everything loads fine except for the 2nd field in the data file, which is the timestamp.

The 2nd field in data file looks like --> 09/17/2007 08:29:04 PM
The 2nd field in table called 'ts' looks like --> 0000-00-00 00:00:00

The 'ts' column in table is defined as Type 'timestamp'. Is there a way to define the 'ts' column in the table to match the format in the data other than making it a varchar?

LOAD DATA INFILE ErrCode: 13
I use LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE... to upload some CSV files. All of them are in the same folder on my client pc. All of them have the same structure. All of them are loaded into the target table but ONE!

This one was working before already. Now I always get an error message: File '.....' not found (Errcode: 13).

Could it be that this file is too large? Are there limits?
Actually the file is 350MB.

LOAD DATA INFILE And Max_binlog_cache_size
I am trying to load a large table using this command from a SQL script:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'E:/big.csv' INTO TABLE `scratch`.`verybig` FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' (@ignore, col1, col2, col3, col4, col5, col6);

And I run into this problem:

ERROR 1197 (HY000) at line 20: Multi-statement transaction required more than 'max_binlog_cache_size' bytes of storage; increase this mysqld variable and try again

I've read about this variable and the max and default value is 4GB and I am at the default value so I cannot go any higher. I am using InnoDb with binary logging turned on so I can replicate. How do I get around this issue if I cannot make max_binlog_cache_size any bigger than it already is? Code:

LOAD DATA INFILE Error
I'm loading a data file which contains lots of null values. Am using /N which works well for all fields except for those of Type char(1). Does anyone know a way to add a null value to this type of data?

Load Data Local Infile
I've used 'load data local infile...' with success with small data files (data tab deliminated in a .txt file). But now I'm ready to tackle loading a MUCH larger file of data. This begs the question, what IS the best way to get large amounts of data loaded or inserted into a MySQL table?

For instance, in the real world someone will probably hand you a file(s) with tons of data that you have to dump into a .txt file and massage with tabs, etc. to get the data loaded into MySQL. So how do most of you deal with this kind of situation? Thru programming, scripts, macros...?

Massaging all that data into one coherent tab deliminated .txt file seems like a lot of work. I'm new to both db mgt. and MySQL. And I'm using MySQL server on a W2K/IIS box.

Complex LOAD DATA INFILE
I am using mysql 5.0 and I want to load a huge txt-file in my database.
My text file (file.txt) looks like:

col1 col2 col3 ... col200
col1 col2 col3 ... col200
....
col1 col2 col3 ... col200

I now want it to import in a table t1 with two columns (col_nr,
col_val) where col_nr is the number of column (e.g. 2 for col2, 46 for
col46) and col_val are the effective values in my txt-file at the
different columns. The problem is that col_nr is not in the "file.txt"
so I have to assign based on the field number.

I am looking at the LOAD DATA INFILE command, but in the help file I
did not find an answer to my question. I was hoping to do it with:

LOAD DATA INFILE 'file.txt'
INTO TABLE t1
(col_val)
SET col_nr = "how do I do this";

Does anyone has any suggestions or tips to do it differently (with php
perhaps)?

Load Data Infile Error
When I enter 'LOAD DATA INFILE 'imptest.txt' INTO TABLE imptest' directly into phpmyadmin I get the following error

Access denied for user: 'me@localhost' (Using password: YES)

Yet when I use the following php code, it opens the same file without any problem.

$url = '../../imptest.txt';
$fp = fopen ($url, 'r') or die ('Cannot access file.');

I am new to mysql and don't understand why I'm getting an access denied error. Do you normally have to supply a password with 'load data infile'? If so, how?

I am using a remote server running version 3.23.49.
