To import data from Excel (or any other program that can produce a text file) is very simple using the LOAD DATA command from the MySQL Command prompt.

1) Save your Excel data as a csv file (In Excel 2007 using Save As) Check the saved file using a text editor such as Notepad to see what it actually looks like, i.e. what delimiter was used etc.

2) LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE ‘C:\temp\yourfile.csv’ INTO TABLE database.table FIELDS TERMINATED BY ‘;’ ENCLOSED BY ‘”‘ LINES TERMINATED BY ‘\r\n’ (field1, field2);

3) To store image to have to use TO_BASE64

Done!
