Do you mean LOAD DATA INFILE?  It will give an error unless you
specify IGNORE or ON DUPLICATE UPDATE.  The documentation explains
this in detail.

Then you probably used the ON DUPLICATE UPDATE clause.

LOAD - updates?

2008-10-16 Thread Reyna.Sabina
Hello,

Running Environment:
  MySQL Server version: 5.0.45
  OS is Red-Hat 64-bit

A test using  mysql -e "LOAD table ..." was ran to see
if "LOAD' will give an error when loading a record with
the same primary-key of an existing record in the table.

LOAD acted as an UPDATE statement and it didn't give
an error - the return status was 0.

Is this the correct LOAD behaviour?

Thanks in advance for your input!

 Reyna
