It seems a little tricky since it really had bothered me for a long time.

You just need to open the table (right click the "Select Rows- Limit 10000") and you will open a new window. In this new window, you will find "import icon".

If the server resides on a remote machine  make sure the file in in the remote machine and not in your local machine    If the file is in the same machine where the mysql server is  make sure the mysql user has permissions to read write the file  or copy teh file into the mysql schema directory   In my case in ubuntu it was   var lib mysql db myschema myfile csv  Also  not relative to this problem  but if you have problems with the new lines  use sublimeTEXT to change the line endings to WINDOWS format  save the file and retry

I guess you re missing the ENCLOSED BY clause  LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE   path to your csv file model csv  INTO TABLE test dummy FIELDS TERMINATED BY     ENCLOSED BY     LINES TERMINATED BY   n     And specify the csv file full path  Load Data Infile - MySQL documentation

At the moment it is not possible to import a CSV  using MySQL Workbench  in all platforms  nor is advised if said file does not reside in the same host as the MySQL server host   However  you can use mysqlimport   Example   mysqlimport --local --compress --user username --password --host hostname   --fields-terminated-by     Acme sales part     In this example mysqlimport is instructed to load all of the files named  sales  with an extension starting with  part    This is a convenient way to load all of the files created in the  split  example  Use the --compress option to minimize network traffic  The --fields-terminated-by     option is used for CSV files and the --local option specifies that the incoming data is located on the client  Without the --local option  MySQL will look for the data on the database host  so always specify the --local option   There is useful information on the subject in AWS RDS documentation
