You probably need to set the FIELDS TERMINATED BY     or whatever the delimiter happens to be   For a CSV file  your statement should look like this   LOAD DATA INFILE  data csv  INTO TABLE tbl name FIELDS TERMINATED BY     ENCLOSED BY     LINES TERMINATED BY   r n  IGNORE 1 LINES

Before importing the file  you must need to prepare the following    A database table to which the data from the file will be imported  A CSV file with data that matches with the number of columns of the table and the type of data in each column  The account  which connects to the MySQL database server  has FILE and INSERT privileges    Suppose we have following table      CREATE TABLE USING FOLLOWING QUERY    CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS  survey       projectId  bigint 20  NOT NULL     surveyId  bigint 20  NOT NULL     views  bigint 20  NOT NULL     dateTime  datetime NOT NULL         YOUR CSV FILE MUST BE PROPERLY FORMATTED FOR EXAMPLE SEE FOLLOWING   ATTACHED IMAGE       If every thing is fine   Please execute following query to LOAD DATA FROM CSV FILE       NOTE   Please add absolute path of your CSV file   LOAD DATA INFILE   var www csv data csv   INTO TABLE survey  FIELDS TERMINATED BY      ENCLOSED BY     LINES TERMINATED BY   r n  IGNORE 1 LINES    If everything has done  you have exported data from CSV to table successfully

You can load data from a csv or text file  If you have a text file with records from a table  you can load those records within the table  For example if you have a text file  where each row is a record with the values for each column  you can load the records this way   table sql  id   field 1  name   field2   table txt  1 peter  2 daniel        --example on windows  LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE  C   directory example  table txt  INTO TABLE Table CHARACTER SET UTF8 FIELDS TERMINATED BY     LINES TERMINATED BY   r n

If you are running LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE from the windows shell  and you need to use OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY      you will have to do something like this in order to escape characters properly    C  Program Files MySQL MySQL Server 5 6 bin mysql  -u root --password  password  -e  LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE   file   INTO TABLE  table  FIELDS TERMINATED BY     OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY        LINES TERMINATED BY   n  IGNORE 1 LINES  --verbose --show-warnings  gt  mysql  fname  out
