Here is the SQL query I have so far: LOAD DATA INFILE ‘filename.csv’ INTO

  • 0

Here is the SQL query I have so far:

LOAD DATA INFILE 'filename.csv'
INTO TABLE zt_accubid
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'
IGNORE 4 LINES

I need to be able to end the process once a field with value="xyz" is encountered.
Is this possible?

    LOAD DATA INFILE has no such option. There are a couple of workaraounds, though

    • You could solve the problem outside MySQL by manipulating the file first
    • As Alain Collins mentioned, if the column containing you marker has only unique values, and you don’t have the LOAD DATA inside a transcation, you can use a unique key as a stopper.
    • You can use a trigger on the table as a stopper
    • If the marker is near the end of the table or the overhead is not important to you, you can do a full LOAD DATA into an interims table, then use INSERT INTO ... SELECT to move only the relevant data into your final table
    • Similarily you can load all data, then delete the irellevant part
