I think it would be simpler to pre-process the file using cut with the
appropriate delmiter if it's not tab-delimited already. Then import
the reduced file.

[solved] Re: LOAD DATA INFILE question...
Hi Patrick,
I was doing that it was taking 20 seconds to chop the fields from the file.
That was the problem.
Meanwhile about my problem I have seen that the lines in data files end with
\r\n not \n so it solved the problem.
Now it takes 3 seconds to dump the file and chop the necassary fields.
thanks to MySQL.
:)
thank yo again for answer...

LOAD DATA INFILE question...
Hi, I have a 72 fields data txt file and I was inserting all data previously but now I need only some of them to dump into the table.

You can load the file to an intermediate table and then complete your process using INSERT INTO targetTable SELECT col_1, col_5, col_28, col_71 FROM intermediateTABLE Ferhat BINGOL wrote: Hi, I have a 72 fields data txt file and I was inserting all data previously but now I need only some of them to dump into the table.

load data infile question
I haven't used load data infile much, mainly because of issues like this question. I want to load a bunch of data for our data warehouse into about 10 different tables. But when I load a parent table, an auto_increment column autogenerates a value that will be a foreign key in a child table. So i cant create the file to load into the child table until after the parent table has been loaded. Then i'll need to get back all the auto increment values just created, and put them into the load file for the child tables. Is this how it has to be, or am i missing something? thanks much sean peters [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

For this type of custom loading you may want to explore a programming language such as Java or C/C++ or Perl.

If no one else is going to be adding rows to the tables while you're doing the loading, then you can make your own values for the auto_increment column and include them in the text file rather than letting MySQL generate them. Just find the max current value and start counting from there, and using the same values in the child tables. I do something similar for one of my databases, and it works because there's no other process for inserting rows into those tables.

While I am waiting for the next burst of files, I want to insert these into the tables, then erase the files. Normally LOAD DATA INFILE LOCAL works fine here.

You have a data file in which the the line terminator occurs internally to certain field values. The terminator is thus ambiguous.

LOAD DATA INFILE Question
Ok, the company I work for does not host its own websites, etc.. we pay a company for space on their servers. They use Unix boxes and the database they support is MySQL with a PHPMyAdmin GUI. Here is my dillema.. I need to move some of our existing Microsoft (Excel and Access) databases to MySQL on the server so that we can incorporate them into our websites. I appreciate the feedback I have gotten and I understand now that this is ultimately a function of the LOAD DATA INFILE syntax. What I need to know, though, is what would the syntax be to pull the text file off of my C: drive and into the MySQL table on our remote server? This is all soo confusing.
