It'd help if you showed your LOAD DATA statement, and also indicated
what characters are actually at the end of each line of your data
file. However, in general, if you specify a LINES TERMINATED BY
clause that lists the line termination characters present in your
file, the statement should eat those characters and they won't
be interpreted as part of your column values.
