Argh... I am autogenerating a load file after parsing and massaging a text file I get from an AS/400 system. My first field is an id that is on auto_number so I put a tab at the begging of the line for each one of my records... it throws a warning for each line... if instead of putting an autonumber I put a random number it works perfectly. How can I get it to work?
Sample line in my load file that works: 111111111111111111111 3066001210010000001467 SMART ALARMS INC 201 MILLWAY AVE UNIT #8 \N \N VAUGHAN ON L4K 5K8 0 1999-9-1 00:00:00 1999-9-1 00:00:00 Sample line that does not work: 3066001210010000001467 SMART ALARMS INC 201 MILLWAY AVE UNIT #8 \N \N VAUGHAN ON L4K 5K8 0 1999-9-1 00:00:00 1999-9-1 00:00:00 My code that generates the sample line that does not work: tempfile.puts "\t#{record[0,22].strip}\t#{record[22,32].strip}\t#{record[54,32].strip}\t#{record[86,32].strip}\t#{record[118,32].strip}\t#{record[150,30].strip}\t#{record[180,2].strip}\t#{record[182,7].strip}\t0\t2000-01-01 00:00:00\t2000-01-01 00:00:00" How can I get mysql to put the auto_numbers in for me? Why is it even accepting my numbers? Thanks :-) Does anyone also know how I can see the warnings created by loadfile? All I just see is the summary with skipped and warnings.
