MySQL Load Data Infile auto incremented ID value
16,566
first, create table with column ID has auto increment property:
CREATE TABLE mytable (
id MEDIUMINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
a INT NULL,
b INT NULL,
c INT NULL,
d INT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;
then you should load data into table with load data infile by giving column names:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'C:/DATA/mydata.txt'
INTO TABLE test.mytable
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
(a, b, c, d) SET ID = NULL;

I want to insert an ID column to my table and get data of this table from a text file. For example my text file is like that:
12 1212 4989 121 121 23 123 110 789 99 234 544 ...
and it has approximately 20M rows. I want to insert this data to a table and include an auto incremented ID value column for it. I will use "Load data infile", but I want to create my table as indicated below:
id a b c d --- --- --- --- --- 1 12 1212 4989 121 2 121 23 123 110 3 789 99 234 544 ...
How can I create this kind of table using mysql (workbench)
-
sourcecode over 11 yearsit was common sense to create table first.and also the "load infile" has only 4 columns i.e.autoincrement column is not going to fill
