NAME¶
mysqlimport - a data import programSYNOPSIS¶
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 13.2.6, “LOAD DATA INFILE Syntax”. Invoke mysqlimport like this:shell> mysqlimport [options] db_name textfile1 [textfile2 ...]
•--help, -?
Display a help message and exit.
The output generated by using --events contains CREATE EVENT statements
to create the events. However, these statements do not include attributes such
as the event creation and modification timestamps, so when the events are
reloaded, they are created with timestamps equal to the reload time.
If you require events to be created with their original timestamp attributes, do
not use --events. Instead, dump and reload the contents of the
mysql.event table directly, using a MySQL account that has appropriate
privileges for the mysql database.
•--bind-address=ip_address
On a computer having multiple network interfaces, use this option to select
which interface to use for connecting to the MySQL server.
This option is supported only in the version of mysqlimport that is
supplied with MySQL Cluster. It is not available in standard MySQL Server 5.5
releases.
•--character-sets-dir=dir_name
The directory where character sets are installed. See Section 10.5,
“Character Set Configuration”.
•--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.
•--compress, -C
Compress all information sent between the client and the server if both support
compression.
•--debug[=debug_options],
-# [debug_options]
Write a debugging log. A typical debug_options string is d:t:o,
file_name. The default is d:t:o.
•--debug-check
Print some debugging information when the program exits.
•--debug-info
Print debugging information and memory and CPU usage statistics when the program
exits.
•--default-character-set=charset_name
Use charset_name as the default character set. See Section 10.5,
“Character Set Configuration”.
•--default-auth=plugin
A hint about the client-side authentication plugin to use. See
Section 6.3.6, “Pluggable Authentication”.
This option was added in MySQL 5.5.10.
•--defaults-extra-file=file_name
Read this option file after the global option file but (on Unix) before the user
option file. If the file does not exist or is otherwise inaccessible, an error
occurs. Before MySQL 5.5.8, file_name must be the full path name to the
file. As of MySQL 5.5.8, the name is interpreted relative to the current
directory if given as a relative path name.
•--defaults-file=file_name
Use only the given option file. If the file does not exist or is otherwise
inaccessible, an error occurs. Before MySQL 5.5.8, file_name must be
the full path name to the file. As of MySQL 5.5.8, the name is interpreted
relative to the current directory if given as a relative path name.
•--defaults-group-suffix=str
Read not only the usual option groups, but also groups with the usual names and
a suffix of str. For example, mysqlimport normally reads the
[client] and [mysqlimport] groups. If the
--defaults-group-suffix=_other option is given, mysqlimport also
reads the [client_other] and [mysqlimport_other] groups.
•--delete, -D
Empty the table before importing the text file.
•--enable-cleartext-plugin
Enable the mysql_clear_password cleartext authentication plugin. (See
Section 6.3.7.5, “The Cleartext Client-Side Authentication
Plugin”.)
This option was added in MySQL 5.5.47.
•--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 13.2.6, “LOAD DATA INFILE Syntax”.
•--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.
•--host=host_name,
-h host_name
Import data to the MySQL server on the given host. The default host is
localhost.
•--ignore, -i
See the description for the --replace option.
•--ignore-lines=N
Ignore the first N lines of the data file.
•--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 13.2.6, “LOAD DATA INFILE
Syntax”.
•--local, -L
Read input files locally from the client host.
•--lock-tables, -l
Lock all tables for writing before processing any text files. This
ensures that all tables are synchronized on the server.
•--low-priority
Use LOW_PRIORITY when loading the table. This affects only storage engines that
use only table-level locking (such as MyISAM, MEMORY, and MERGE).
•--no-defaults
Do not read any option files. If program startup fails due to reading unknown
options from an option file, --no-defaults can be used to prevent them
from being read.
•--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, mysqlimport
prompts for one.
Specifying a password on the command line should be considered insecure. See
Section 6.1.2.1, “End-User Guidelines for Password Security”.
You can use an option file to avoid giving the password on the command
line.
•--pipe, -W
On Windows, connect to the server using a named pipe. This option applies only
if the server supports named-pipe connections.
•--plugin-dir=dir_name
The directory in which to look for plugins. Specify this option if the
--default-auth option is used to specify an authentication plugin but
mysqlimport does not find it. See Section 6.3.6, “Pluggable
Authentication”.
This option was added in MySQL 5.5.10.
•--port=port_num,
-P port_num
The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection.
•--print-defaults
Print the program name and all options that it gets from option files.
•--protocol={TCP|SOCKET|PIPE|MEMORY}
The connection protocol to use for connecting to the server. It is useful when
the other connection parameters normally would cause a protocol to be used
other than the one you want. For details on the permissible values, see
Section 4.2.2, “Connecting to the MySQL Server”.
•--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.
•--shared-memory-base-name=name
On Windows, the shared-memory name to use, for connections made using shared
memory to a local server. The default value is MYSQL. The shared-memory name
is case sensitive.
The server must be started with the --shared-memory option to enable
shared-memory connections.
•--silent, -s
Silent mode. Produce output only when errors occur.
•--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.
•--ssl*
Options that begin with --ssl specify whether to connect to the server
using SSL and indicate where to find SSL keys and certificates. See
Section 6.3.9.4, “SSL Command Options”.
•--user=user_name,
-u user_name
The MySQL user name to use when connecting to the server.
•--use-threads=N
Load files in parallel using N threads.
•--verbose, -v
Verbose mode. Print more information about what the program does.
•--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 shell> ed a 100 Max Sydow 101 Count Dracula . w imptest.txt 32 q shell> od -c imptest.txt 0000000 1 0 0 \t M a x S y d o w \n 1 0 0000020 1 \t C o u n t D r a c u l a \n 0000040 shell> mysqlimport --local test imptest.txt test.imptest: Records: 2 Deleted: 0 Skipped: 0 Warnings: 0 shell> mysql -e 'SELECT * FROM imptest' test +------+---------------+ | id | n | +------+---------------+ | 100 | Max Sydow | | 101 | Count Dracula | +------+---------------+
