Dear all Two Question : 1. I know that the 'LOAD DATA' command loads a bulk of data into a table, but what happen if i only want to load the data into specifc fields on a table instead of whole table.
eg. Let say i had a file with 3 column of data, and i want to load these data into a 'ABC' table's field 3 to 5 and leave field 1 & 2 as it was! 2. I copied a file into server's root directory, and i was trying to load that file's data to table which i had failed using the following command in MYSQL: "LOAD DATA infile 'c:\hkd_rate.csv' into table hkd_deposit1 fields terminated by ',' " It said couldn't find the file! but if i put the file into the data directory of mysql, then it can find it! So what should i do if i want mysql will able to find that file from root directory? -- Thx a lot!
