RE: Importing data from a file
There's a tool called mysqlimport. I recommend using that. Or, if you have to extract data from a larger set, you could write a program. But, mysqlimport is the easiest way. If you're on a UNIX machine, run 'man mysqlimport' for more information. Good luck, Brian -Original Message- From: Manuel J.

Re: Importing data from a file
I managed to do it using mysql load data infile '/home/manuel/databases/import.txt' - into table countries - fields terminated by ';'; Query OK, 240 rows affected (0.01 sec) Records: 240 Deleted: 0 Skipped: 0 Warnings: 18 (I will check the warnings...)

Re: Importing data from a file
I've used the 'load data infile' command to import data from a file and it worked well for my purposes. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/LOAD_DATA.html for the full syntax.
