| I usually LOAD DATA INFI with stupid varchar(x) columns (appropriate number of columns), and the I convert the import table to a real table doing replace(), case when..., format changes (string to numeric, saves space) etc Indeed you can't do both operations (importing and data changes) in one go using LOAD DATA INFILE.

| Try this... load data local infile 'filename.csv' into table tableName fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"' lines terminated by '\r\n' ( @col1 ,@col2 ,@col3 ) set col1 = REPLACE(@col1,' ','') col2 = REPLACE(@col2,' ','') col3 = REPLACE(@col3,' ','') ; Syntax can be found here http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/load-data.html |
