    Loading data into MySQL

    Hey all,

    Is there anyway of customizing the Load Infile command?? I want to load data seperated by ";" or "," and not spaces?

    In addition, Can you create/load information into mysql tables without being connected? I have information being created by MapInfo and saved as txt files. I want to automatically create a MySQL data structure based on these txt files...

    Would I need a perl script to connect and load all the info?

    Regarding imports, make sure to checkout the MySQl documentation.

    You need to be connected to a database server in order to perform any updates/inserts etc.

    Also in the docs, near the bottom.

    Cheers
