Answer 1

The reason is that mysql expecting end of the row symbol in the text file after last specified column, and this symbol is char(10) or '\n'. Depends on operation system where text file created or if you created your text file yourself, it can be other combination (Windows uses '\r\n' (chr(13)+chr(10)) as rows separator). Thus, if you use Windows generated text file, add following suffix to your LOAD command: “ LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' ”. Otherwise, check how rows are separated in your text file. On default mysql expecting char(10) as rows separator.
