将数据加载到Mysql数据库中

Question

I have a text file which i would want to load into mysql database on Ubuntu server 12.04 LTS. I have entered the data into the file trey.txt and i moved the file to /tmp directory. When i move to the db, and enter the command

LOAD DATA
INFILE '/tmp/trey.txt'
into table arp_table
columns terminated by '|';
the output is

 ERROR 13(HY000):Can't get stat of '/tmp/trey.txt'(Errcode: 2)

How should i modify to enter these details. And can i run this from command line as a cron job.

Answer 1

Put your data file in root folder after that run the command

$ sudo mysql -u root -p <database name>

mysql> LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/path/trey.txt' INTO TABLE pet;
