Answer 1

LOAD DATA INFILE

Example:

NOTE: if you run this from Windows you need to escape the forward slashes in the file path.

EXAMPLE:

C:\\path\to\file.txt

Looks like:

C:\\\\path\\to\\file.txt

Here is the query:

LOAD DATA INFILE '/path/to/sample.txt' 
INTO TABLE `database_name`.`table_name` 
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES
(
user_id, user_name
)
