Answer 1

I'm recommended use MySQL Workbench where is import data. Workbench allows the user to create a new table from a file in CSV or JSON format. It handles table schema and data import in just a few clicks through the wizard.

In MySQL Workbench, use the context menu on table list and click Table Data Import Wizard.

More from the MySQL Workbench 6.5.1 Table Data Export and Import Wizard documentation. Download MySQL Workbench here.
