Question

I have a CSV file. It contain 1.4 million rows of data, so I am not able to open that csv file in Excel because its limit is about 1 million rows.

Therefore, I want to import this file in MySQL workbench. This csv file contains columns like

"Service Area Code","Phone Numbers","Preferences","Opstype","Phone Type"

I am trying to create a table in MySQL workbench named as “dummy” containing columns like

ServiceAreaCodes,PhoneNumbers,Preferences,Opstyp,PhoneTyp. 

The CSV file is named model.csv. My code in workbench is like this:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'model.csv' INTO TABLE test.dummy FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' lines terminated by '\n';

but I am getting an error like model.CSV file not found

Answer 1

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
