Hi,

I need some help please! I have 60GB of proxy logs to parse and load into a mysql database. I've written a parsing script but I'm stuck now on how to load the data in.

I have a database called PROXY_LOG with 2 tables:

USER_TABLE
user_id   date_time   url_id   size

and

URL_TABLE
url_id   url   category


The data values I have for each record are:

user_id   date_time   size   url   category

for example:

u752359   2004-04-02 12:33:04   3403   http://www.mysql.com/index.html
business

The problem is I'm not sure how to load the data into the 2 tables and set the url_id. Could anyone point me in the right direction please?

Many thanks,

js.

js,
Is this a one time operation? If so, you could create a temporary table with all the fields:


BIG_TABLE
user_id   date_time   url_id   size  url  category

and use Load Data InFile to load the data into this one table. Then create the two smaller tables using:

create table USER_TABLE select user_id, date_time, url_id, size from BIG_TABLE;
create table URL_TABLE select url_id, url, category from BIG_TABLE;
drop table BIG_TABLE;


So there you have it in 3 lines of code. :-)

P.S. If you could break the text file into two files to begin with, then two Load Data InFile statements would handle things nicely.
