Thanks a lot for that post. I’ve used this method successfully offline. Now I’m trying to take my offline database and put it on my hosted server. When I run that coding on the server and reference it to the CSV on my computer, it obviously can’t access it. More troubling is that even if I upload the CSV file onto the server, MySQL still can’t access it:

LOAD DATA INFILE “.db_upload/shane.csv”
INTO TABLE new_table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY “,”
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY “”"”
LINES TERMINATED BY “\r\n”

Any ideas on how to get an offline database onto a hosted server, by this method or any other?

Thanks!

Hello

I got one problem when I import data with special characters
I got one txt file coded in windows(ansi) and when do the import with this command, gives errors where the data have special characters,

Some like “Ílhavo” gives this error

Incorrect string value: ‘\xD6lhavo…’ for column ‘DESIG’ at row 5

and do not import this record

This was so helpful. If your on a Mac and your using the MySQL Workbench. Here is what I placed in my Query:
load data local infile ‘/Users/MarkDickinson/Documents/Saddleback Resources/RKW Database/RKW_weeklys.csv’ into table rkw2011.weeklys
fields terminated by ‘,’
enclosed by ‘”‘
lines terminated by ‘\n’
(weekly_id, date, ip_number, title, series_title, author, 057_cd, 056_tape, 049_dat, 003_transcript, 008_outline, 059_note, 060_tio, 027_s_master_wav_audio, 012_mp3, 041_vhs, 042_vhs, 046_beta, 058_pro_res, podcasts, media_center)

Best of luck!

I was having the same problem and my line terminator ended up being ‘r’ but some others might be ‘rn’
