MYSQLIMPORT(1) MySQL Database System MYSQLIMPORT(1)
NAME
mysqlimport - a data import program
SYNOPSIS
mysqlimport [options] db_name textfile1 ...
DESCRIPTION
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 2.5, "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
filename 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:

+---------------------------------------+-------------------------------+---------------------+------------+
o --help, -?
Display a help message and exit.
o --character-sets-dir=path
The directory where character sets are installed. See Section 2, "The Character Set
Used for Data and Sorting".
o --columns=column_list, -c column_list
This option takes a comma-separated list of column names as its value. The order of the
column names indicates how to match data file columns with table columns.
o --compress, -C
Compress all information sent between the client and the server if both support
compression.
o --debug[=debug_options], -# [debug_options]
Write a debugging log. The debug_options string often is 'd:t:o,file_name'.
o --default-character-set=charset_name
Use charset_name as the default character set. See Section 2, "The Character Set Used
for Data and Sorting".
o --delete, -D
Empty the table before importing the text file.
o --fields-terminated-by=..., --fields-enclosed-by=...,
--fields-optionally-enclosed-by=..., --fields-escaped-by=...
These options have the same meaning as the corresponding clauses for LOAD DATA INFILE.
See Section 2.5, "LOAD DATA INFILE Syntax".
o --force, -f
Ignore errors. For example, if a table for a text file does not exist, continue
processing any remaining files. Without --force, mysqlimport exits if a table does not
exist.
o --host=host_name, -h host_name
Import data to the MySQL server on the given host. The default host is localhost.
o --ignore, -i
See the description for the --replace option.
o --ignore-lines=N
Ignore the first N lines of the data file.
o --lines-terminated-by=...
This option has the same meaning as the corresponding clause for LOAD DATA INFILE. For
example, to import Windows files that have lines terminated with carriage
return/linefeed pairs, use --lines-terminated-by="\r\n". (You might have to double the
backslashes, depending on the escaping conventions of your command interpreter.) See
Section 2.5, "LOAD DATA INFILE Syntax".
o --local, -L
Read input files locally from the client host.
o --lock-tables, -l
Lock all tables for writing before processing any text files. This ensures that all
tables are synchronized on the server.
o --low-priority
Use LOW_PRIORITY when loading the table. This affects only storage engines that use
only table-level locking (MyISAM, MEMORY, MERGE).
o --password[=password], -p[password]
The password to use when connecting to the server. If you use the short option form
(-p), you cannot have a space between the option and the password. If you omit the
password value following the --password or -p option on the command line, you are
prompted for one.
Specifying a password on the command line should be considered insecure. See
Section 5.6, "Keeping Your Password Secure".
o --port=port_num, -P port_num
The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection.
o --protocol={TCP|SOCKET|PIPE|MEMORY}
The connection protocol to use.
o --replace, -r
The --replace and --ignore options control handling of input rows that duplicate
existing rows on unique key values. If you specify --replace, new rows replace existing
rows that have the same unique key value. If you specify --ignore, input rows that
duplicate an existing row on a unique key value are skipped. If you do not specify
either option, an error occurs when a duplicate key value is found, and the rest of the
text file is ignored.
o --silent, -s
Silent mode. Produce output only when errors occur.
o --socket=path, -S path
For connections to localhost, the Unix socket file to use, or, on Windows, the name of
the named pipe to use.
o --ssl*
Options that begin with --ssl specify whether to connect to the server via SSL and
indicate where to find SSL keys and certificates. See Section 5.7.3, "SSL Command
Options".
o --user=user_name, -u user_name
The MySQL username to use when connecting to the server.
o --verbose, -v
Verbose mode. Print more information about what the program does.
o --version, -V
Display version information and exit.
Here is a sample session that demonstrates use of mysqlimport:
shell> mysql -e 'CREATE TABLE imptest(id INT, n VARCHAR(30))' test
