I ran across a curious issue, I'd call it a bug but I'm sure others would call it a feature.
I have a csv file with space between the " and , and it causes MySQL to eat that field and the field after it as a single field. Is there a setting I can use to remedy this or do I just have to make sure no whitespace intrudes? Here is an example: "testa" ,"testb" create temporary table testa (a char(15), b char(5)); LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/tmp/test.csv' INTO TABLE testa FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'; Data in table is mysql> select * from testa; +----------------+------+ | a | b | +----------------+------+ | testa" ,"testb | NULL | +----------------+------+
