MySQL CSV import: datetime value

Question

I have been banging my head against a wall trying to import datetime values from a .csv file.

Here\'s the import statement.

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE \'m

Answer 1

Pulled my hair out over this also because I'm not importing in the above suggested way.

Workaround: Created a temporary field temp_date of type "VARCHAR" on your import table and have no problems loading the data. I then was able to perform an update on my date column which is of type date.

    update table
    set date = temp_date
