Question

Is there a way to import multiple csv files at the same time into a MySQL database? Some sort of batch import?

I\'m on Mac OSX running a MAMP server.

Answer 1

For windows User use this batch

echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
FOR %%f IN ("*.csv") DO (
  set old=%%~dpnxf
  set new=!old:\=\\!
  mysql -e "load data local infile '"!new!"' IGNORE into table email_us.business  COLUMNS TERMINATED BY ','" -u root
  echo %%~nxf DONE
)

• email_us -> DB
• business -> Table
• IGNORE -> Ignore duplicate insert and on error keep continue
• ~dpnxf -> d for drive letter, p for path to file, n for filename, x for extension and f is file variable

Steps: - Put that batch file in directory where all multiple csv files exist and named it as something.bat - run cmd.exe as adminstrator and call that something.bat file and enjoy importing...
