any easy way to convert large CSV file to SQL?
June 02, 2009, 09:59:52 am
I am trying to find an easy way to convert a large (10k+ records) CSV file to a sql for easy table creation to use the SQL import.

Any ideas or sites?

Many thanks!!

Doing a Google search on 'import CSV into MySQL table' should give you some techniques for doing this.

I did that before posting and found nothing useful yet.  Will pick it back up, I guess.

It's not so much a import as it is getting the table created easily - it has 75 fields I match many with data mapping on contact import.  So ideally, I'd like a auto create table statement, then I could import the data the usual way - csv directly into table, then use the sql import to import contacts.

Thanks.
