Answer 1

Syntax:

LOAD DATA [LOW_PRIORITY | CONCURRENT] [LOCAL]
INFILE 'file_name' INTO TABLE `tbl_name`
CHARACTER SET [CHARACTER SET charset_name]
FIELDS [{FIELDS | COLUMNS}[TERMINATED BY 'string']] 
[LINES[TERMINATED BY 'string']] 
[IGNORE number {LINES | ROWS}]

See this Example:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE
'E:\\wamp\\tmp\\customer.csv' INTO TABLE `customer`
CHARACTER SET 'utf8'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES;
