Hi, I have some text files (logs) that are tab delimited containing 3 columns. I'm loading them into MySql using the LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE commands, but I want to load them into a table that has 4 fields, with the 4th field having a value equal to the name of the file being loaded.
Is this possible? I thought of something like this: LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'something.txt' INTO TABLE test.data (FIELD1, FIELD2, FIELD3, FIELD4 = 'something.txt') but that doesn't work. I seem to recall doing something similar a few years back but using Micro$oft SQL server. I suppose that I could pre-process the file before loading it to add the extra column, but that seems like a long winded way of doing it (the files being imported have hundreds of thousands of rows). Any thoughts?
