load-data-infile

I have some vendor data that has the SOH (ASCII character 1) as the field delimiter and STX (ASCII character 2) as the record delimiter. Is it possible to load this data with LOAD DATA INFILE without pre-processing the file and replacing those characters with something more common? I got it. LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'myfile.txt' INTO TABLE my_table CHARACTER SET UTF8 FIELDS TERMINATED BY X'01' LINES TERMINATED BY X'02' (col1, col2, col3); You might try FIELDS TERMINATED BY _ascii 0x02 . I don't know if it will work for LOAD DATA INFILE , but it works in SELECT (i.e., SELECT _ascii 0x61 yields 'a

LOAD XML LOCAL INFILE 'file1.xml' INTO TABLE my_table ROWS IDENTIFIED BY '<product>'" Is it possible to use this function to update a table? I used REPLACE INTO TABLE my_table but that only added new rows and it did not update the existing rows. LOAD XML LOCAL INFILE 'file1.xml' REPLACE INTO TABLE my_table ROWS IDENTIFIED BY '<product>'" See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/load-xml.html Note that: REPLACE works exactly like INSERT, except that if an old row in the table has the same value as a new row for a PRIMARY KEY or a UNIQUE index, the old row is deleted before the new row is

I have following example json file and I'm trying to populate a MySQL table with it. Since MySQL 5.7 supports json as a native datatype I thought this shouldn't be a problem, but MySQL's json validator seems to have a problem with the line breaks inside the file. As soon as I get rid of all line breaks and write my example file in one line, it works perfectly. [ { "somestuff": [ { "field1": "val1", "field2": 17, "field3": 27, "field4": 42, "field5": 73 }, { "field1": "val2", "field2": 3, "field3": 12, "field4": 13, "field5": 100 } ], "field0": "image", "path": "some path" } ] I know json

I have a csv file with a couple thousand game dates in it, but they are all in the MM/DD/YYYY format 2/27/2011,3:05 PM,26,14 (26 and 14 are team id #s), and trying to put them into SQL like that just results in 0000-00-00 being put into the date field of my table. This is the command I tried using: LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'c:/scheduletest.csv' INTO TABLE game FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' (`date`, `time`, `awayteam_id`, `hometeam_id`); but again, it wouldn't do the dates right. Is there a way I can have it convert the date as it tries to insert it? I found

I have all previleges to the mysql user for the database but still getting below error [Doctrine\DBAL\DBALException] An exception occurred while executing 'LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/tmp/uk_insiders/tfo.uktrades_transaction_code.out' IGNORE INTO TABLE uktrades_transaction_codes FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' (id,description)': Warning: PDOStatement::execute(): LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE forbidden in /Symfony/vendor/doctrine/dbal/lib/Doctrine/DBAL/Statement.php line 138 [Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\ContextErrorException] Warning: PDOStatement::execute(): LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE forbidden in /Symfony

I have a XML document in the format of... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <yahootable> <row> <various><![CDATA[ multiline text, "&" other <stuff> ]]> </various> <id>1</id> <message><![CDATA[ sdfgsdfg dsfsdfsd ]]> </message> </row> <yahootable> ...and want to use MySQL's LOAD XML LOCAL INFILE to insert it into a table with columns; (various, id, message). I can't seem to get any data from the unparsed CDATA tags into the database columns. Is it that the data between CDATA tags is completely ignored, or is there something I've missed? I was expecting the CDATA would just escape the
