How to import text file to table with primary key as auto-increment

Question

I have some bulk data in a text file that I need to import into a MySQL table. The table consists of two fields ..

1. ID (integer with auto-increment)
2. Na

Answer 1

I just tried this:

1. In phpMyAdmin table- match the amount of fields you have in your csv.
2. Perform the import of csv data into your table
3. Go to the [Structure] tab and add a new field [At beginning of table] (I assume you want the id field there)
4. Fill in the [name] attribute as "id",
5. [length] to "5"
6. [Index] to "Primary"
7. Tick the A_I (Auto Increment)
8. Hit [Go] button
9. The table should have updated with the id field at the front of all your data with auto-incrementing.

At least this way you don't have to worry about matching fields, etc.
