MySQL import csv file separated by tabulation

Question

I need to import a CSV file into a table named "coplaints". The file is separated by tabulation. I already tried this:

load data local infile 'C:/Users/rocket/Documents/filipe ferminiano/processos/segmentacao/912013/coplaint.csv' 
into table crm_base.coplaints fields terminated by ' ' enclosed by '"';

But it doesn't work.

Answer 1

You need to use \\t as your field terminator for a tab separated file.

load data local infile 
'C:/Users/rocket/Documents/filipe ferminiano/processos/segmentacao/912013/coplaint.csv'
into table crm_base.coplaints fields terminated by '\t' enclosed by '"';
