Mysql CSV load infile

Question

I\'ve got a CSV file with 9 columns and I have a MySQL table with 11 columns.

The CSV file looks like:

col1, col2, col3, col4, col5, col6, col7, col8         


        

Answer 1

Looks like you can use LINES TERMINATED BY (perhaps with PHP_EOL).
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/load-data.html

To quote the manual page:

If a line does not contain all fields, the rest of the columns are set to their default values.

Answer 2

$sql = 'LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "../csvtemp/test.csv" 
        INTO TABLE sample 
            FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," 
            OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY """" 
            IGNORE 1 LINES
            (col1, col2, col3, col4, col5, col6, col7, col8, col9)'
;

The missing columns will be given their DEFAULT values, or else you can specify fixed values this way:

$sql = 'LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "../csvtemp/test.csv" 
        INTO TABLE sample 
            FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," 
            OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY """" 
            IGNORE 1 LINES
            (col1, col2, col3, col4, col5, col6, col7, col8, col9)'
            SET col10 = 'abc', col11 = 'xyz'
;
