.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.PP
20
The
21
\fBmysqlimport\fR
22
client provides a command\-line interface to the
23
LOAD DATA INFILE
24
SQL statement. Most options to
25
\fBmysqlimport\fR
26
correspond directly to clauses of
27
LOAD DATA INFILE
28
syntax. See
29
Section\ 12.2.6, \(lqLOAD DATA INFILE Syntax\(rq.
30
.PP
31

32
\fBmysqlimport\fR

like this:

41
For each text file named on the command line,
42
\fBmysqlimport\fR
43
strips any extension from the file name and uses the result to determine the name of the table into which to import the file's contents. For example, files named
44
\fIpatient.txt\fR,
45
\fIpatient.text\fR, and
46
\fIpatient\fR
47
all would be imported into a table named
48
patient.
49
.PP
50
\fBmysqlimport\fR
51
supports the options in the following list. It also reads option files and supports the options for processing them described at
52
Section\ 4.2.3.2.1, \(lqCommand\-Line Options that Affect Option\-File Handling\(rq.
53
.TP 3n
54

65
.TP 3n
66

\fB\-\-columns=\fR\fB\fIcolumn_list\fR\fR,
68
\fB\-c \fR\fB\fIcolumn_list\fR\fR
69
.sp
70
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.

80
\fB\-# [\fR\fB\fIdebug_options\fR\fR\fB]\fR
81
.sp
82
Write a debugging log. A typical
83
\fIdebug_options\fR

97
.TP 3n
98
\(bu
99
\fB\-\-default\-character\-set=\fR\fB\fIcharset_name\fR\fR
100
.sp
101
Use
102
\fIcharset_name\fR
103
as the default character set. See
104
Section\ 9.2, \(lqThe Character Set Used for Data and Sorting\(rq.
105
.TP 3n
106
\(bu
107
\fB\-\-delete\fR,
108
\fB\-D\fR
109
.sp
110

111
.TP 3n
112
\(bu
113

Section\ 12.2.6, \(lqLOAD DATA INFILE Syntax\(rq.
121

122
\(bu
123
\fB\-\-force\fR,
124
\fB\-f\fR
125
.sp
126
Ignore errors. For example, if a table for a text file does not exist, continue processing any remaining files. Without
127
\fB\-\-force\fR,
128
\fBmysqlimport\fR
129
exits if a table does not exist.
130
.TP 3n
131
\(bu
132
\fB\-\-host=\fR\fB\fIhost_name\fR\fR,
133

140
\fB\-i\fR
141
.sp
142
See the description for the
143
\fB\-\-replace\fR
144
option.
145
.TP 3n
146
\(bu
147
\fB\-\-ignore\-lines=\fR\fB\fIN\fR\fR

lines of the data file.
152
.TP 3n
153
\(bu
154
\fB\-\-lines\-terminated\-by=...\fR
155
.sp
156
This option has the same meaning as the corresponding clause for
157
LOAD DATA INFILE. For example, to import Windows files that have lines terminated with carriage return/linefeed pairs, use
158
\fB\-\-lines\-terminated\-by="\\r\\n"\fR. (You might have to double the backslashes, depending on the escaping conventions of your command interpreter.) See
159
Section\ 12.2.6, \(lqLOAD DATA INFILE Syntax\(rq.
160

\fB\-l\fR
170
.sp
171

172
\fIall\fR
173
tables for writing before processing any text files. This ensures that all tables are synchronized on the server.
174
.TP 3n
175
\(bu
176
\fB\-\-low\-priority\fR
177
.sp
178
Use
179
LOW_PRIORITY
180
when loading the table. This affects only storage engines that use only table\-level locking (MyISAM,
181
MEMORY,
182
MERGE).
183
.TP 3n
184
\(bu
185
\fB\-\-password[=\fR\fB\fIpassword\fR\fR\fB]\fR,
186
\fB\-p[\fR\fB\fIpassword\fR\fR\fB]\fR
187
.sp
188
The password to use when connecting to the server. If you use the short option form (\fB\-p\fR), you
189
\fIcannot\fR
190
have a space between the option and the password. If you omit the
191
\fIpassword\fR
192
value following the
193
\fB\-\-password\fR
194
or
195
\fB\-p\fR
196
option on the command line, you are prompted for one.
197
.sp
198
Specifying a password on the command line should be considered insecure. See
199
Section\ 5.5.6.2, \(lqEnd\-User Guidelines for Password Security\(rq.
200

\(bu
202
\fB\-\-pipe\fR,
203
\fB\-W\fR
204

206
.TP 3n
207
\(bu
208
\fB\-\-port=\fR\fB\fIport_num\fR\fR,
209
\fB\-P \fR\fB\fIport_num\fR\fR
210
.sp
211
The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection.
212
.TP 3n
213
\(bu
214
\fB\-\-protocol={TCP|SOCKET|PIPE|MEMORY}\fR
215
.sp
216
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 allowable values, see
217

218
.TP 3n
219

220
\fB\-\-replace\fR,
221
\fB\-r\fR
222
.sp
223
The
224
\fB\-\-replace\fR
225
and
226
\fB\-\-ignore\fR
227
options control handling of input rows that duplicate existing rows on unique key values. If you specify
228
\fB\-\-replace\fR, new rows replace existing rows that have the same unique key value. If you specify
229
\fB\-\-ignore\fR, 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.
230
.TP 3n
231
\(bu
232
\fB\-\-silent\fR,
233
\fB\-s\fR

239
\fB\-S \fR\fB\fIpath\fR\fR

For connections to
242
localhost, the Unix socket file to use, or, on Windows, the name of the named pipe to use.
243
.TP 3n
244
\(bu
245
\fB\-\-ssl*\fR
246
.sp
247
Options that begin with
248
\fB\-\-ssl\fR
249
specify whether to connect to the server via SSL and indicate where to find SSL keys and certificates. See
250
Section\ 5.5.7.3, \(lqSSL Command Options\(rq.
