That wasn't clear from the documentation. Hi Richard, never tryied but if you have a good CSV file and create the table manually, stop the server, copy your CSV to the one mysql created and start the server back, it should work fine... worth a shot! ;) --rengolin -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: CSV-to-SQL?
I didn't know the CSV table-type existed -- sounds really cool! As I understand it, it will save table data in a flat CSV file, but if I already have a CSV file, can I trick MySQL into thinking it's a table? That wasn't clear from the documentation.

Maybe a review of http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/numeric-type-overview.html will shed some light? -Original Message- From: Renato Golin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 9:48 PM To: Richard Miller; Mysql Subject: Re: CSV-to-SQL?
