Question

I have two huge databases in both formats CSV & XML, and I want to import to MySQL the databases.

I tried to used : LOAD DATA INFILE, but I receive this error message :
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ” at line 1

MySQL Version : 5.1.56-log

I tried without any success to use PHP to convert XML to array then Insert line by line.

EDIT :

I used this query as root to import XML to MySQL :

LOAD XML LOCAL FILE ‘/home/floupie/public_html/All.xml’ INTO TABLE k_logs;

This is the appropriate syntax for a csv load.

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/importfile.csv' 
INTO TABLE test_table 
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' 
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' 
(field1, filed2, field3);

This is the appropriate syntax for an xml load.

LOAD XML LOCAL INFILE 'items.xml'
INTO TABLE item
ROWS IDENTIFIED BY '<item>';
