mysqlimport

I am a using MySQL locally to my Mac. I have a CSV file all fields enclosed in double quotes. Here is an extract of the first rows of my CSV file: $ head -5 companies.csv "COMPANY_ADDRESS1","COMPANY_ADDRESS2","COMPANY_CITY","COMPANY_COUNTRY","COMPANY_FAX","COMPANY_GERMANY","COMPANY_ID","COMPANY_INDIANAPOLIS","COMPANY_NAME","COMPANY_STATE","COMPANY_TELEPHONE","COMPANY_VAT","COMPANY_ZIP" "980 Madison Avenue","6th Floor","New York","USA","","","1393","","Lucky Fives LLC","NY","212-74-2313","","10075" "1209 Orange Street","","Wilmington","USA","","","1394","","Global Five Holdings","DE","-","",

I have some text file -generated periodically- which contains sql rows to be inserted to mysql using mysqlimport. One of the columns has Null value, and this column in the database is a datetime field, with default value set to Null. However after running mysql import, I got the value 0000-00-00 00:00:00 in this column, so how can I get rid of this? I want the column value to be Null as inserted. Edit : Notes: 1) When inserting a row directly using INSERT statement, this problem doesn't occur and the column value is set to NULL normally, so this has something to do with mysqlimport 2) I use

I have successfully dumped an entire MySQL database using mysqldump --databases generating a nice .txt file. However, I can't see how to read the whole file back into MySQL in one go; mysqlimport seems to want just one table at a time. When you've generated some file (say db-dump.sql ) with mysqldump , you can import it to your other database with the mysql command : mysql --user=XXX --password=XXX --host=YOUR_HOST DATABASE_NAME < db-dump.sql And, if you don't want the password to appear in a command, you can use : mysql --user=XXX -p --host=YOUR_HOST DATABASE_NAME < db-dump.sql As a sidenote,

I'm importing a legacy db to a new version of our program, and I'm wondering if there's a way to not import some columns/tables from the dump, and rename other tables/columns as i import them? I'm aware I could edit the dump file in theory, but that seems like a hack, and so far none of my editors can handle opening the 1.3 gb file (Yes, I've read the question about that on here. No, none of the answers worked for me so far.). Suggestions? It's possible to not import some tables by denying permissions to do so, and using --force as a command line option. Not importing some columns, or renaming

I am getting following error while importing sql file ERROR: ASCII '\0' appeared in the statement, but this is not allowed unless option --binary-mode is enabled and mysql is run in non-interactive mode. Set --binary-mode to 1 if ASCII '\0' is expected. Query: ''. HELP NEEDED...!! Eric BELLION Try something like : mysql -u root -p -h localhost -D database --binary-mode -o < dump.sql and make sure your sql file is not zipped . I encountered this problem,the sql file was in a valid ISCII format, I solved as the following: 1- in shell use file command to detect type of data contained in the dump

I have a php script that parses XML files and creates a large SQL file that looks something like this: INSERT IGNORE INTO table(field1,field2,field3...) VALUES ("value1","value2",int1...), ("value1","value2",int1)...etc This file adds up to be over 20GB (I've tested on a 2.5GB file but it fails too). I've tried commands like: mysql -u root -p table_name < /var/www/bigfile.sql this works on smaller files, say around 50MB. but it doesn't work with a larger file. I tried: mysql> source /var/www/bigfile.sql I also tried mysqlimport but that won't even properly process my file. I keep getting an
