load data local infile
‘/home/nirmalya/GridSense/UserInfo.csv’
into table gsdemoconfig.user_core_info
fields terminated by ‘,’
lines terminated by ‘\n’;
Regular command, I have used it many times earlier. But, incidentally, never on this version of MySQL. MySQL came back with a stern negation:
ERROR 1148 (42000): The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version
Huh? What happened?
A bit of research brought up this little twist in the command to connect to MySQL:
mysql –host=localhost –port=3306 –user root -p –local-infile
The last option, ‘local-infile’ was the key.
Then, when I executed the same ‘load data’ command referred to earlier, result was as expected:
Query OK, 10 rows affected, 18 warnings (0.14 sec)
Records: 10 Deleted: 0 Skipped: 0 Warnings: 18
Nice little thing to know about, eh?
