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....


Rob
