Import CSV file from Google Cloud Storage to Google Cloud SQL

Question

I am trying to import a csv file directly into Google Cloud SQL using the command below.

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE \"gs:/zuds/stg/ems/product_offering_fact/0000         


        

Answer 1

Unsupported MySQL statements: Sending any of the following types of SQL statements will generate an error with the message "Error 1290: The MySQL server is running with the google option so it cannot execute this statement"

LOAD DATA INFILE Note: LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE is supported. SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE SELECT ... INTO DUMPFILE INSTALL PLUGIN ... UNINSTALL PLUGIN CREATE FUNCTION ... SONAME ...

Additionally, the mysql command line will not understand a gs:// file reference.

Answer 2

Cloud SQL doesn't support running LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE with "gs://" path. From the UI, as the doc suggests, only comma delimited files are supported at this point. Here are two workarounds:

1. Transform your file to CSV and do an import through UI
2. Download your gs:// file to your local disk and then run LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE pointing to the path on your local disk.
