spreadsheet data into MySQL
Hi there
Yes you can do this by going into Access and op[ening the XLS file from
there then importing it into a table.
This part makes sense
This meaning you have a database from where you can move it over to mySQL's
table via ODBC connection
Is it possible to import spreadsheet data (Excel) into MySQL? I have data on about
2,500 retail locations that I must place into a database on the web and I do not want
to type them by hand if I can avoid it.
Thanks,
Chris Gray

Is it possible to import
I need to have a table built to house the data BEFORE I import?

Using Excel you can save

This should work I guess

One way:
Save as CSV file.
Parse CSV file
It is actually a little tricky. You need to build the table in mysql yourself, then
use some utility to import it. I would use perl. The problem with Excel is that when
it exports csv, it does not quote empty fields (I think), So, you can't use
Text::ParseWords (AFAIK). Here is a regexp which

There is a module for Perl which can read Excel. Then there is
DBI for
accessing MySQL. Use both to transfer data.
