Problem with mysqlimport and timestamp
Hi- I'm using the command 'mysqlimport -u usr -ppassh -h mysqlserver -P 3306 -v db --local $workdir/$filename'to import a table into mysql from a file $filename. The data in $filename looks something like: test test where there is a blank space between the two 'test's to represent an empty column. This column is of type datetime NULL DEFAULT NULL in the database. The blank space between the two 'test's gets imported as (err) instead of NULL. Is there a way I can import empty column data as NULL? I'd like there to be a NULL for every row for which this column is empty. I'm not sure how to do this given the format of my $filename. As a check, I tried inserting a row at the top of $filename like test The row was imported correctly, as in there was a NULL in the timestamp column in the database, as well as a NULL in the next column in the database. So, this may have something to do with the format of the $filename, but I may not be able to control the format of that file. Thanks.

You should alter your data like so: test\N test That is, separate the fields with a tab and place \N wherever you want a NULL. As it is, the data is being misinterpreted, which is why the second import you mentioned worked--there was nothing after the first field to be erroneously put into the timestamp field. If the data comes from somewhere else you will need to parse it out and re-write it using proper formatting, i'm afraid. brian -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
update problem with mysqlimport (bug/misuse?)
Hi people I'm facing a (not huge) problem with mysqlimport. The mysql version I'm using is MySQL 4.0.11a-gamma'-Max' For updating a #29000 records table from fixed-lenght ASCII file, I'm using a php script that gets a record and executes and UPDATE for each one: pretty SLOW. SO I read carefully mysqlimport and think that is THE solution for the speed matter. BUT the fields that I don't include in the mysqlimport field list get EMPTY! Here are the details: This is the table: CREATE TABLE alfabeta ( id mediumint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', nombre varchar(30) NOT NULL default '', presenta varchar(30) NOT NULL default '', precio float(7,2) unsigned NOT NULL default '0.00', precio_ponderado float(7,2) unsigned NOT NULL default '0.00', fecha_mod date NOT NULL default '-00-00', id_psico tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', anexo tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', pami char(1) NOT NULL default '0', id_laboratorio smallint(4) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', baja tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', heladera tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', id_troquel int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', id_monodroga mediumint(6) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', id_acfa smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', id_codbarra bigint(13) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', unidades smallint(4) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', importado tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', sifar char(1) NOT NULL default , id_tamano smallint(2) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', id_tipounid smallint(4) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', id_tipovta tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', id_acciofar int(2) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (id), KEY id_troquel (id_troquel), KEY nombre (nombre,presenta) ) TYPE=MyISAM; The mysqlimport command: mysqlimport osdata -u owner -pofthedata --debug -c id,nombre,presenta,precio,id_psico,pami,id_laboratorio,baja,heladera,id_troquel,id_codbarra,unidades,importado,sifar,id_tamano,id_tipovta -r -v -l alfabeta.csv Note: the original file alfabeta.txt have fixed-lenght fields, I use an awk script to convert to alfabeta.csv The question is that, the field precio_ponderado, for example, comes from another source, NOT from alfabeta.csv, so I load it from another .csv in another .php script. But after the execution of the mysqlimport, it gets 0.00, when, well, I expect that mysqlimport leaves it unchanged because I don't list it in the -c clause. So, is that a bug or mysqlimport is only useful for populating empty tables and for that reason emptyes the values of the columns not listed? If so, I'll must to discard that sooo elegant solution and use a .php script to make a HUGE .sql file with UPDATE's (IdontwantitIdontwantitIdontwantit!) thanks in advance Jorge Llarens ___ 100mb gratis, Antivirus y Antispam Correo Yahoo!, el mejor correo web del mundo http://correo.yahoo.com.ar -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Problem with mysqlimport.
Hi all, I've just started using mysql and I'm sure that my all problems are something todo with my oracle-ness, so please bear with me if I use case-insensitive table names or somthing ;) Ok. I've been using the mysql interactive command-line interface for a few days now, and there's no problem there. I've made myself a ~/.my.cnf file and it appears to work: [client] user=idries_wedding password=** Since creating it I no longer need to enter username or password details when I run mysql :) Now, I'm trying to use mysqlimport: idries ~/src/wedding/database$ mysqlimport idries_Wedding GUEST.txt mysqlimport: Error: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: NO), when using table: GUEST The problem here seems to be that mysqlimport is not reading the password from the .my.cnf file. I had a similar problem with it not liking the database option to be specified in the .my.cnf file, so I removed that. I have tried several combinations of removing the password from the .my.cnf file and removing the .my.cnf file completly. For example: idries ~/src/wedding/database$ mv ~/.my.cnf ~/..my.cnf idries ~/src/wedding/database$ mysqlimport --user=idries_wedding --password= idries_Wedding GUEST.txt mysqlimport: Error: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: NO), when using table: GUEST idries ~/src/wedding/database$ The only way in which I can stop (Using password:NO) from being displayed is to tell mysqlimport to prompt me for the password *AND* not specify a username: idries ~/src/wedding/database$ mysqlimport -p idries_Wedding GUEST.txt Enter password: mysqlimport: Error: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) idries ~/src/wedding/database$ Here the username is not specified, and so it obviously doesn't work, but it does say (Using password:YES) However: idries ~/src/wedding/database$ mysqlimport -uidries_wedding -p idries_Wedding GUEST.txt Enter password: mysqlimport: Error: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: NO), when using table: GUEST idries ~/src/wedding/database$ Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong? What is the correct syntax for calling mysqlimport while specifying a username and password and why doesn't it use the .my.cnf file in the same was a mysql? I've consulted the manual and everything that I've done seems to be in keeping with what's required. Please help! Also: idries ~/src/wedding/database$ mysqlimport -V mysqlimport Ver 3.4 Distrib 4.0.13, for pc-linux (i686) idries ~/src/wedding/database$ mysql -V mysql Ver 12.20 Distrib 4.0.13, for pc-linux (i686) idries ~/src/wedding/database$ Thanx in advance, Idries -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you don't specify the --local option, mysqlimport sends a LOAD DATA INFILE statement to the server, and the server itself tries to read the file, using the filename 'GUEST.txt'. That's a relative filename, and no doubt will not be correct in terms of the server's current working directory. Try this command: mysqlimport --local idries_Wedding GUEST.txt mysqlimport should read your .my.cnf file properly. The problem here seems to be that mysqlimport is not reading the password from the .my.cnf file.

Re: Problem with mysqlimport
Hi, I didn't notice in the other e-mail, but the syntax of mysqlimport says everything.. :-) mysqlimport is like LOAD DATA INFILE and imports data to ONE table. To use your UM.txt you may use: # mysql test UM.txt For further explanation of mysqlimport: # mysqlimport --help Loads tables from text files in various formats. The base name of the text file must be the name of the table that should be used. OR http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/mysqlimport.html shell mysqlimport [options] database textfile1 [textfile2 ...] For each text file named on the command-line, mysqlimport strips any extension from the filename and uses the result to determine which table to import the file's contents into. For example, files named `patient.txt', `patient.text', and `patient' would all be imported into a table named patient. ...
