I have met this problem with a column that has ENUM values('0','1').
When I was trying to save a new record, I was assigning value 0 for the ENUM variable.

For the solution: I have changed ENUM variable value from 0 to 1, and 1 to 2.

This error means that at least one row in your Pickup withoutproxy2 txt file has a value in its first column that is larger than an int  your PickupId field       An Int can only accept values between -2147483648 to 2147483647    Review your data to see what s going on   You could try to load it into a temp table with a varchar data type if your txt file is extremely large and difficult to see   Easy enough to check for an int once loaded in the database   Good luck

I had same problem  I wanted to edit ENUM values in table structure  Problem was because of rows that was saved before and new ENUM values doesn t contain saved values   Solution was updating old saved rows in MySql table

The reason is that mysql expecting end of the row symbol in the text file after last specified column  and this symbol is char 10  or   n   Depends on operation system where text file created or if you created your text file yourself  it can be other combination  Windows uses   r n   chr 13  chr 10   as rows separator   Thus  if you use Windows generated text file  add following suffix to your LOAD command      LINES TERMINATED BY   r n       Otherwise  check how rows are separated in your text file  On default mysql expecting char 10  as rows separator

You re missing FIELDS TERMINATED BY     and it s assuming you re delimiting by tabs by default

I had this issue when trying to convert an existing varchar column to enum  For me the issue was that there were existing values for that column that were not part of the enum s list of accepted values  So if your enum will only allow values  say   dog    cat   but there is a row with bird in your table  the MODIFY COLUMN will fail with this error

This error can also be the result of not having the line   FIELDS SPECIFIED BY        if you re using commas to separate the fields  in your MySQL syntax  as described in this page of the MySQL docs
