Re: Location of text file for loading data in to table
Hi, I am having problems loading data into a table and have 2 questions. 1) I want to load some data from a text file in to a table by using the following line: LOAD DATA LOCAL INTO st.txt INTO TABLE studio; With this you have to save your text file inside the bin folder of your mysql folder e.g c:\mysql\bin. For it to work. this keeps giving me : File st.txt not found (ErrorCode: 2) Where should I store the st.txt file. I am using Windows and have mysql stored at c:\mysql. I have tried putting the file in the following locations: C:\mysql, C:\mysql\data, and C:\mysql\data\[DATABASE NAME](where the tables are stored) But keep getting the error. On the other way we just specify the full pathname to the file. If it's in D:\tmp\text.txt, use: LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE D:\\tmp\\text.txt INTO TABLE tabname; Or: LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE D:/tmp/text.txt INTO TABLE tabname; (courtsy : Paul DuBios) I'm using the same arrangement and found I had to put my data files under my cgi-bin directory. But when I upload the code to my ISP, they can be stored in the same directory as the script. This tells me it is likely a configuration thing. -- Amer Neely [EMAIL PROTECTED] Softouch Information Services: www.softouch.on.ca/ Perl / PHP / CGI programming for shopping carts, data entry forms.

LOAD command failed if the Local infile is not \bin
Hi, I just discovered that I have to move the data text file I want to store in my table into bin directory of mysql directory (c:\mysql\bin\) before the LOAD DATA local infile text.txt INTO TABLE tabname can work. The problem here is that how do I then transfer this kind of file from my local computer if at all i am able to connect to mysql server at the remote machine.

Re: SELECT INTO LCOAL OUTFILE
ello Paul, can you try this and let see if it is going to work ! UNLOAD DATA FROM TABLE fred INTO LOCAL OUTFILE file.txt; And if it fails, i am sure somebody their will correct it! Regards. kamal Hi, Is there a reason why, if I can LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'file' INTO TABLE fred; why I can't SELECT * INTO LOCAL OUTFILE '/tmp/file.txt' FROM fred Because it's just never been implemented. I know the data has to travel to the client, but it would make scripting easier! - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

Re: connecting to mysql from different computer
I suspect that you need to add an entry at the MySQL host for the machine that you are connecting from. This can be done with a GRANT statement: - Format: grant all privileges on databaseName.tableName to 'userName'@'hostName' identified by 'somePassword'; - Example: grant all privileges on myDB.* to 'clyde'@'coolPlace.org' identified by 'secretPass'; Then you'll need to reload the access privileges. It can be done at the command line like this: % mysqladmin -u rootUserName reload Remember, you may need to add the -p switch and suply a password for this command. Is this enough info? One more important question, if these privileges are now granted, will it then be possible for me to connect from MySQL client at the local machine to MySQL server at the remote machine? More so will i need to open MySQL server on my local machine before running MySQL client to connect to the remote machine e.g. c:mysql\bin\mysqld c:mysql\bin mysql -h coolPlace.org -u clyde -psecretPass Or I will just run the MySQL client to connect to remote machine without neccessarily running MySQL server at the local machine c:mysql\bin mysql -h coolPlace.org -u clyde -psecretPass Thanks for giving me relieve. -kamal. - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?
