Question

I am having an issue with importing a large(60MB) CSV file in MYSQL DB.
The problem arises when an address field has multiple comma seperated values e.g. home no, street no, town etc.

I tried to use BigDump for it but, the problem did not solved because of a single field containing multiple comma separated values.

Any idea, suggestion or solution from experts how to handle it?
Please reply, because I am sick of it.

Thanks

Answer 1

Is the address enclosed in double-quotes? Like:

Name,Address,Email
John Smith,"123 Elm Street,New York,NY",[e-mail]

If it’s not enclosed in double-quotes but contains commas, it’s not a valid CSV file.
