hello, I was tring to understand the steps to read from pipe and load using LOAD DATA INFILE? I dont understand the "x's" or the cat of tcp, can someone shed some light on this for me??
mkfifo /mysql/db/x/x chmod 666 /mysql/db/x/x cat < /dev/tcp/10.1.1.12/4711 > /mysql/db/x/x mysql -e "LOAD DATA INFILE 'x' INTO TABLE x" x I have many text files a day that get loaded into the db at night and was looking at making something more real time, as these text files are created every 20 minutes. Im using a perl script to run insert statements on these text files but it takes a long time. The text files have around 1400000 lines every twenty minutes so you can imagine the tables get large quick. I thought I could wrap this LOAD DATA option in my perl script which could speed things up... Any help is great....
