Tried that. Csv, odf, etc. What I found is that I have no control over the PHP variables that PhpMyAdmin uses on my remote shared host.
So, it bombed all the time as the file was too big. That is why I downloaded xaamp so that I could try it on my desktop. Works like a charm on my desktop. But, while doing all of this, I ran across a program that will read in the spreadsheet and create a SQL Insert statement for me that works even better because there was garbage in the spreadsheet, and doing it via VFP, I could program out those errors. Funny how VFP still keeps on fixing things, isn't it? <grin> I'll send you a copy of the code if you want it. And the spreadsheet can be found here if you want to try it. http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/performancedata.cfm#dis look for the one titled lca_fy2013.xlsx under lca programs -----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2014 11:27 AM To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: [NF] xampp On 2014-09-04 12:17, Virgil Bierschwale wrote: <snipped> >> Been having a hard time trying to upload a 442,000 record spreadsheet >> to mysql, so I wanted to figure out what was wrong by doing it on my >> box where I have more control over it. I would suggest you export the spreadsheet to a CSV file and use the LOAD INFILE (usually there's a GUI screen for it to make it easy). I upload tens of millions of rows this way and it works very well and quick.
