Hello -
I am curious what extensions to mysqlimport people might be interested in seeing.
I am importing some data with inconsistencies and and I find that mysqlimport helps one not at all. It seems to me that there are things it could do.
For example:
-rejected_lines=<filename> : would put all lines that generated errors or warnings in a separate file.
--verbose : it could actually be verbose and list out all warnings and errors. I know this is a shocking suggestion, but hey, let's be bold.
See:
http://www.kitebird.com/mysql-cookbook/examples-ld.php
--no_insert : this would allow one to pre-flight data without actually causing the insert to happen, as -n does for make.
See above.
--lines-commented-out-by=... : pretty obvious
--terminate-on=<word> : deleted, skipped, or warning, for example, if you want to stop if there is even one warning.
Any other ideas? I am thinking of trying to extend it myself and am open to suggestions.
You may find it's not quite as easy as you think.
thanx - ray
