MYSQL: Display Skipped records after LOAD DATA INFILE?

Question

In MySQL I\'ve used LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE which works fine. At the end I get a message like:

Records: 460377  Deleted: 0  Skipped: 145280  Warnings         


        

Answer 1

For anyone stumbling onto to this:

Another option would be to do a SELECT INTO and diff the two files. For example:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'data.txt' INTO TABLE my_table FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '\"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r' IGNORE 1 LINES (title, desc, is_viewable);

SELECT title, desc, is_viewable INTO OUTFILE 'data_rows.txt' FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r' FROM my_table;

Then execute FileMerge (on Mac OS X) data.txt data_rows.txt to see the differences. If you are getting an access denied error when doing the SELECT INTO make sure you:

GRANT FILE ON *.* TO 'mysql_user'@'localhost';
flush privileges;

As the root user in the mysql client.
