Hi Mos,

In the below two command does 1 is faster than 2.


1. LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/path/pet.txt' INTO TABLE pet;

2. LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/path/pet.txt' INTO TABLE pet LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' enclosed by '"';


Thanks,
Krishna Ch. Prajapati

Krishna,
They are the same speed. #2 only gives additional information on how the CSV file is formatted. The Load Data, in case you weren't already aware, imports comma delimited data from a text file into a MySQL table. The LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' enclosed by '" ' only tells MySQL how the data is formatted.

Before we delve into this any further, how many rows of data are you loading? And what table type: MyISAM or InnoDb?

Mike

Hi Experts,

load data local infile and insert into <tablename> are the two methods of
inserting data into a mysql table.

Out of the above two method. Is there any faster method of inserting data
into mysql tables.

No. Load Data is the fastest method, unless the data is already stored in another table.

Tip: Remember when using Load Data, it will be faster if the table is empty and optimized (no holes) than with a table that has data in it. That's because the non-unique indexes are built after all of the data has been loaded. The alternative is to disable the non-unique indexes prior to using Load Data. Unfortunately there is no way to disable the building of unique indexes during this process unless you remove the unique index prior to loading the data and building it later.

Tip: Using Insert will be much slower than Load Data but you can speed it up by loading dozens of rows using one Insert statement.

Hope these tips help.

Mike
