Hello everyone,

I am trying to import data from a MySQL database. So far I havent been
able to do it.

What I have tried:

1. Ive used the mysql dump utility to generate a file with inserts and
then try to run that file from ij. One of my tables contain a large
"text" object and the inserts fail, probably because of quote or
double quote characters.


I had some experience I posted here:

The crux of it was I didn't find an easy way to do what I needed with mysqlexport, because of issues with character delimitation, but was able to do what I needed with a sql "select ... into outfile".

your mileage might vary -- please post about it!
