Okay, I have a semi-colon delimited textfile that I'm trying to import into phpmyadmin...everytime I do it, everything seems to go into the right columns, except that I can only EVER import 127 rows! That's it! No more than that!
Does anyone have a clue why this might be? My life hangs in the balance....please help me :(
It would help if you post a sample of say the first 10 lines as well as the last three lines. You can replace the values with dummy data if you want.
Reason I ask is that we first need to validate the syntax of the given file, before looking for other problems.
Cheers
Here are the first few lines. They have 7 different columns but the 4th column is always a big one...a description of the tool:

I quick spot check brought the following under my attention:
In the first rows, the price is indicated by $99, where the last lines, they are indicated by "$1,299" ( note the qoutes ). The exporter that created the data might have interpreted the $1299 as a string type, hence exporting it as a string and not as a currency.
Now, when importing data, mysql will go happily along until it meets the first error, which in this case might very well be the discrepency I noted. What you need to do is check where the first occurence of the "$x,xxx" is - if it's on Line 127/128 - you have found the problem. If not, I am going to ask that you post lines 126 to 128 as well, so that we can look some more at the area where the problem occurs.

Well, for one the data export is not consistent. As I mentioned earlier with the currency, I see a similar ( but on a different field ) thing on line 128:
Your dataline seems to follow the following pattern:
x;x;x;"x";$xxx.xx;x;x
Line 128 has the following pattern:
x;x;x;x;$xxx.xx;x;x
This also fits with the previous post of mine where the line in question had the following pattern:
x;x;x;"x";"$x,xxx";x;x
I can only say that you should really get the data file consistent in all aspects, and then try again.

I was thinking that perhaps it was my "prodDesc" column which was giving me problems because of the way it's structured. So I decided to delete that and the price column and just import the rest into phpmyadmin.
Alas, I'm getting only 127 rows again...this is driving me crazy. Maybe it's the version I have or something...anyway here's lines 125 to 130 if you can spot what might be wrong. I can't spot anything..

I can't see anything strange either. As you say - maybe it has something to do with versioning, although I can't see how that should make a difference. I even tried to duplicate you problem on my side - but all I get is success. I tried with upto 100000 rows ( containing random data ).
I use phpMyAdmin 2.3.2 with MySQL 3.23.47 on Linux Mandrake 8.2.
Hope you can find the problem.
Cheers
Friggin hell! Apparently 'tinyint' can only deal with up to 127 rows...by just CHANGING that to something else like 'smallint' or even 'integer' makes everything work....GEEZ...I've been trying to solve this one for 2 weeks!!! I'm PISSED!
Thanks for your help..
That is true. I never thought you might be using tinyint, so I never bothered to ask. As the MysQL doc's say:
TINYINT[(M)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL]
A very small integer. The signed range is -128 to 127. The unsigned range is 0 to 255.
Cheers
If you are using any of the 'int' (tinyint, smallint(short), int, bigint(long)) types for a record id (Primary Key that is auto_increment with each INSERTed record), then you should definitly change those to UNSIGNED, unless of course you have them starting at the lower bound for that data type (-128 for tinyint, -32768 for smallint, -2147483648 for int, and -9223372036854775808 for bigint). If you make these columns unsigned then you have double the possible magnitude of the number.
