Handling of NULL values when importing data from SQL Server BCP files
In the category of terrible, horrible, no good, very bad (but at least documented) software behavior, I bumped into this today: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=14770 where the LOAD DATA INFILE command does not respect the default value of a column if no value is supplied in the file. Instead, it assigns zero to numeric columns, empty string to character columns, etc., per http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/load-data.html This is awful! I mean, it's documented behavior and all, but it's still just bloody awful! Has anyone else found a graceful solution to this problem? The thing is, my data files may have real zeros in numeric columns, whereas NULL of course is used to indicate an unknown value. When I migrate this application from SQL Server to MySQL in the next couple of weeks, suddenly I'll have a lot of zeros where I previously had NULLs. Dan

Re: ~BCP for mysql~
Try SELECT INTO OUTFILE... Here's the MySQL documentation on that: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ refman/5.0/en/select.html Good luck!

Import Sybase Ase bcp text file with date type format fields
Hi, I have to import some data in Mysql from a Sybase bulk copy (bcp) text files, and I have some problems with date type format fields. The sybase db has datetime fields and in the dump file the date format is like this: Mar 3 1999 12:00:00:000AM I have created a table with the same structure but when I perform load data ... query command Mysql import only this '-00-00 00:00:00' zero value.

Re: Import Sybase Ase bcp text file with date type format fields
The mysql datetime will have to be '1999-03-03 12:00:00' or 1999030312 Maurizio Danilo wrote: Hi, I have to import some data in Mysql from a Sybase bulk copy (bcp) text files, and I have some problems with date type format fields.

Mysql's equivalent of SQL Loader or BCP/DTS??
Im looking for info on Mysql's Bulk Data Loading Utility? Does it even have one? Does it just use Perl's DBI? Any syntax would be greatly appreciated...

Any syntax would be greatly appreciated... Check out http://www.mysql.com/doc/L/O/LOAD_DATA.html . It's a stripped-down version of Oracle's SQL*Loader syntax, but useable for most purposes. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 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?

The best way of doing this would be to use perl. Should be a fairly simple perl script, just replace all \n with \t\n - 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?

BCP
Hi, I am doing some development testing in PHP and MySQL. I have already bulk copied some data from a Sybase table into a comma sep file. My question.: How can I get this data into MySql so that I can test the speed. I am working on Win95 for now but intend porting everything to Sun Sol by the end of the year. For now I need a dos version or equivelent of BCP.EXE that will work with MySql. Is there something out there? Please help. I am hopeing to get started tonight. Hopefully be Sunday I can have done a decent load test. Will let you know the results if you ask.
