Importing .CSV file to mysql database

Question

I have .csv file which I want to import to my database using the SQL syntax. This is how my .csv file looks like:

"john"
"james"
"peter"
"andrew"
"harry"
"king"
"hanny"
"charles"

So I ran this code in my SQL syntax:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'C:/file.csv' INTO TABLE table FIELDS TERMINATED BY '' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' (names)

But this is what I get when inserted:

john"
"james"
"peter"
"andrew"
"harry"
"king"
"hanny"
"charles

Please how do I make each name to be inserted in each row

Answer 1

Since you are working on Windows, the rows in your CSV are delimited by a carriage return \\r and an escape sequence \\n. Therefore you have to use

LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'

instead:
