sql table data import to load from tab delimited datafile


Versions (?)

Import data from tab - delimited datafile to SQL table.

 / Published in: SQL
 

Fields are tab delimited and need to match table schema. I've found the tab separator ASCII(009) preferable over using a comma.

The second version can help remove double quotation marks around character fields.

Don't forget the keyword LOCAL.

  3. > LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/tmp/VICIDB/matltran.txt' INTO TABLE matltran FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' FIELDS OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"';
