After looking at the file I found that certain columns that are strings were not quoted at all. I can't find any reason why some are and some are not quoted. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? Because unless a field contains a ',' or '' character, it doesn't NEED quotes to delineate it: 1,test,3 1,I said,It's not the same,3 is the same thing as: 1,test,3 1,I said,It's not the same,3 Your import function is BROKEN in a major way, by requiring quotes where they are not strictly necessary to conform to the CSV specification. That said, it's probably easier to get phpMyAdmin to always quote the output than it is to fix whatever broken import tool you are using. The program I am using to import the data is the MySQL tools. They don't like the output of phpMyAdmin 2.6.1-rc1. And I don't have any control over the server so I can't upgrade the version either. Unless I find a work around, I'm SOL You could probably import into something smart enough to handle the missing quotes, then export with a setting that always quotes. I believe Excel (gak!) would do this correctly. PHP's http://php.net/fgetcsv might do the right thing, and you could write out the CSV any which way you want... Or, at that point, just write an INSERT query. Which route to take depends how big the file is, and how often you have to do this and what tools you are familiar with. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Dwayne Hottinger Network Administrator Harrisonburg City Public Schools -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

mysqldump and import
I need to do an import of mysql data that I dumped from an older mysql server the older server is running version 4.1.8 official mysql rpm. The new server is running the version of mysql that comes with Fedora Core 3. The problem Im having is with the Charsets that are in the older version. Is there a way to do a mysql -u root -p somedatabse somedatabase.sql and have it ignore errors or the charset stuff? I tried editing the .sql files and it just complains about something else. Any mysql gurus help would be great. This old server is going to go belly up soon. thanks, ddh -- Dwayne Hottinger Network Administrator Harrisonburg City Public Schools -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Restoring mySQL dump
That is correct. The password for mysql root is probably not the same as the system root. ddh Quoting Adrian Cooper [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello, I need to restore a mySQL dump file but cannot find the right syntax. I have root access and have used: mysql -u root -p account_databasename backupname But I am getting: Access denied for user '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) I have also removed the root password and got: Access denied for user '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: No) What is the correct syntax please? Also, can I create a new database and restore the dump file to it or do I need to use the same database name as before? Thank you very much indeed.

mysql database problems
Greetings all, Im new to mysql and have inherited several mysql databases and everything has been going well until lately. Most of my webpages come from mysql databases with php scripts. Now I am getting the message Unable to load database indicated by configuration file or something similiar when trying to connect to any database running on the server when the mysql user is running @localhost. I can however login at terminal as the mysql user and look at the database with no problems. My mysql version is 3.23.58 (upgraded from yum), php version 4.3.10, server is Fedora Core 2 kernel 2.6.5-1.358smp. Im pretty new to mysql so be gentle and easy in any help. Everything was working fine prior to Friday of last week. Mysqld.log show nothing other than start and restarts that I initiated trying to get things working. thanks, ddh -- Dwayne Hottinger Network Administrator Harrisonburg City Public Schools -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
