MySQL load data infile using Python not working

Question

I am trying to upload a file using MySQL LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE function in Python.

In my load.py file, I have done:

import MySQLdb
conn = MySQLdb.connect(host, db_username, db_password, "Core_ver")
c = conn.cursor()
sql = """LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'contact.out' INTO TABLE userinfo FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' (group_ID, rank_ID, login, password, first_name, last_name, email, contact_ID);"""
try:
  c.execute(sql)
  conn.commit()
except StandardError, e:
  print e
  conn.rollback()

Its not uploading anything. But I checked, the connection is working fine and the column names are also verified. What might have gone wrong?

Answer 1

I had a foreign key constraint on the table Core_ver . But during performing LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE function in python , I was not getting any errors, that's led to panic.

Anyways, the script is working fine. Thank Guys for the help.
