Hi, guys. I'm quite new to this mailing list. Does anyone know how many programmers are there using this mailing list?
I sent my question (below) about 6hrs ago, but still haven't receive any response. Am I on a wrong list? Could someone suggest a better mailing list or forum to discuss MySQL questions? cheers, feng ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wang Feng" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 7:11 PM Subject: loading data from a textfile into MySQL database table > Greetings, > > I have a datafile called 'salary.txt', and it's a tab delimited file, the > structure is like this: > employee_name<tab>salary<enter> > employee_name<tab>salary<enter> > ... > > I have a table called 'salary', and it has the same structure as the > 'salary.txt' --- employee_name & salary as the columns; > > > I use the command LOAD DATA INFILE "salary.txt" INTO TABLE salary; > > After doing that, I do the 'SELECT * FROM databname' to look at the data I > loaded.
