Hi Rob, LOAD DATA INFILE is not a very verbose command. It doesn't spill out the exact root cause of the error. Forgive me, if I seem to be wrong for anybody who had a different opinion.
mysqlimport is a wrapper around LOAD DATA INFILE with a lot of command line options. You might try your luck using the mysqlimport command which does the same for you. But I am not sure if it really helps you with more verbose output. The problem might be due to any of the following problems: -> The data in the file needs to be in a format that mysql understands. With mysqlimport you can specify the column and record delimiters as required. -> Escape characters need to be defined when you do a mysqlimport so that the data is not mistaken as a delimiter by mysql. -> Also make sure that there are no foreign key violations in your target database.
