4.5.5. mysqlimport — A Data Import Program

The mysqlimport client provides a command-line interface to the LOAD DATA INFILE SQL statement. Most options to mysqlimport correspond directly to clauses of LOAD DATA INFILE syntax. See Section 13.2.6, "LOAD DATA INFILE Syntax".

Invoke mysqlimport like this:

shell> mysqlimport [options]
        db_name textfile1 [textfile2 ...]

For each text file named on the command line, mysqlimport strips any extension from the file name and uses the result to determine the name of the table into which to import the file's contents. For example, files named patient.txt, patient.text, and patient all would be imported into a table named patient.

mysqlimport supports the following options, which can be specified on the command line or in the [mysqlimport] and [client] groups of an option file. mysqlimport also supports the options for processing option files described at Section 4.2.3.4, "Command-Line Options that Affect Option-File Handling".
