Often, when setting up a new database, you will need to migrate data from an old database to MySQL.
To do that, you can use LOAD DATA INFILE for a lot of data. You can use this statement to import organized
data from a text file into a table in MySQL.
Example:
| LOAD DATA INFILE '/tmp/data.txt' REPLACE INTO TABLE authors CHARACTER SET utf8 FIELD TERMINATED BY '|' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' TEXT_FILEDS(col1, col2, col3, col4, col5) SET author_last = col3, author_first = col4 IGNORE col1, col2, col5, 1 LINES; |
