Do you have the option of using a different delimiter? Or is this after the
fact and there is no going back? Anyway, we alway pick a really odd
delimiter that is very unlikely to show up on data.
2 cents.

If you're looking to do a one time or occasional import, you could look at
using Navicat, which is an excellent MySQL GUI.

I've recently been trying to do a large import of a Excel or CSV file
generated from Excel. My efforts thus far have not been good and it's
looking like I will have to reinvent the wheel.
I have yet to find a good article or paper on 1 Dynamic Datasources
using coldfusions built in support of the ODBC Socket with excel. I
was able to get my host to "add" a DNS of this type but haven't had
any luck getting a query to run using it.
So after giving up on the ODBC Socket I figured I'd google my luck on
CSV and coldfusion. I have yet to find some one who does NOT assume
that the data won't contain a comma. Which to me just seems
ridiculous. Excel export to CSV puts "'s around rows with commas
Example:
"foo, bar", foo, bar
would be 3 items the first being foo comma bar. However I have yet to
find a good parser already written either in a UDF or even a CFC for
any of this.
If any one has any help out there it's much appreciated
