importing data into mysql from oracle using a text file
Title: Message Hi, I tried with the spool option to get the data from the tables in the oracle. For this go to pl/sql editor, go to file menu, select spool, asks for a file name give the file name you want, later type the select command from which you want the data. and select spool of option from the file menu. eg;select * from alarm; After spooling i got the file alarm.LST as the attached (it will be there in C:/orant/bin). Save that file as .txt file. Now go to mysql prompt as a root user. 1) choose any of the default database by using the command eg: use test 2) create the table alarm using the samecolumns,data types (here data types may differ)as in oracle eg; mysql CREATE TABLE ALARM ( - ARRIVED DATE NULL, - DETECTED DATE NULL, - NAME VARCHAR(20) NULL, - TYPE INTEGER(1) NULL, - ALARMLEVEL INTEGER(1) NULL, - VERIFIED INTEGER(1) NULL, - DISCLOSED INTEGER(1) NULL, - CATEGORY_NUM INTEGER(1) NULL, - EVENTID INTEGER(5) NOT NULL, - REASON VARCHAR(60) NULL - ); 3) Use the LOAD DAT INFILE command for data to import from .txt file (copy the alarm.txt file into c:\mysql\data\test (if we use test database)) eg; mysql LOAD DATA INFILE 'alarm.txt' INTO TABLE alarm; Here the data is not inserting properly: Bcs 1) The data in the alarm.txt file should be like each colum data should be seperated by \t and each row should be separated by \n . and from spool the data is not coming in the desired format. I did not find any suitable command/option to get the spooling file with the desired delimiters. Colud any one suggest me here. 2) The date format is different in oracle and mysql. This also i took care externally. 3) Even i tried by formating the data in the required(see the attached alarm.txt for the format), getting the result as the following. Not inserting the data properly. mysql LOAD DATA INFILE 'alarm.txt' INTO TABLE alarm;Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)Records: 1 Deleted: 0 Skipped: 0 Warnings: 1 mysql select * from alarm;++++--++--+---+--+-++| ARRIVED | DETECTED | NAME | TYPE | ALARMLEVEL | VERIFIED | DISCLOSED | CATEGORY_NUM | EVENTID | REASON|++++--++--+---+--+-++| 2004-09-27 | -00-00 | 2004-09-27 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |++++--++--+---+--+-++1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql I tried with another command mysqlimport. but that command also seems to be work with the above format only.

Importing Data into MySQL
Sorry in advance for the dumb newbie question but . . . I'm using a content management system and want to avoid the hassle of entering data by hand when I've already got it in a delimited text file. I get the basic concept of using mysqlimport. However, the source file's data doesn't match the target file's structure. Of particular concern for me is that the target table has record id files the would need to be incremented. I get the task on the conceptual level. E.g., map the incoming columns with the appropriate fields in the target table and increment the record id number. I'm a web designer not a programmer. I'm not at all sure how to accomplish this task. Though I would like to learn. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Importing Data into MySQL
If I understand correctly, your text file does not have an ID for each row, but the table does have an ID column. Good. Your table should have the record ID column defined as AUTO_INCREMENT. Something like CREATE TABLE table_name ( ID int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, other column definitions... In that case, simply leave ID out of the columns you are importing to have mysql automatically fill in the ID with unique values. That's the point of AUTO_INCREMENT. The AUTO_INCREMENT column gets a unique number assigned by mysql if you leave it out or if you assign it the (non) value NULL. See Using AUTO_INCREMENT http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/example-AUTO_INCREMENT.html and CREATE TABLE Syntax, http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/CREATE_TABLE.html and mysqlimport, Importing Data from Text Files http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/mysqlimport.html in the manual for more.
