Parameterizing file name in MYSQL LOAD DATA INFILE

Question

Is there a way to dynamically specify a file name in the LOAD DATA INFILE? Can it be parameterized like for instance (syntax may be incorrect) LOAD DATA INFILE \'$filename\'

Answer 1

Or you can make a temporary copy of the file (BATCH example):

LOAD_DATA.bat

COPY %1 TempFileToLoad.csv
mysql --user=myuser --password=mypass MyDatabase < ScriptLoadMyDatabase.sql
DEL TempFileToLoad.csv

the SQL (for info) :

ScriptLoadMyDatabase.sql

load data infile 'TempFileToLoad.csv' IGNORE
into table tLoad
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
lines terminated by '\r\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES
(@DateCrea, NomClient, PrenomClient, TypeMvt, @Montant, NumeroClient)
set DateCrea = str_to_date(@DateCrea, '%Y-%m-%d'), Montant = (round(@Montant / 1000)*2) ;

And finished to put a link to the BAT file in SendTo windows folder.
