Upload Data into Multiple MySQL Tables using mysqlimport

With the help of mysqlimport we can upload data into multiple MySQL tables. It is illustrated in the example below −

Example

Suppose we want to upload the following data from two data files namely student1_tbl.txt −

1     Saurav     11th
2     Sahil      11th
3     Digvijay   11th

And House.txt

1   Furniture
2   Television
3   Refrigerator

Followings are MySQL tables into which we want to upload the above data −

mysql> DESCRIBE Student1_tbl;
+--------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field  | Type        | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+--------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| RollNo | int(11)     | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| Name   | varchar(20) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| Class  | varchar(20) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
+--------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
3 rows in set (0.06 sec)

mysql> DESCRIBE House;
+-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type        | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Sr    | int(11)     | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| Name  | varchar(20) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
+-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Now, with the help of the following command we can upload the data into these two tables −

C:\mysql\bin>mysqlimport -u root query C:/mysql/bin/mysql-files/student_tbl.txt C:/mysql/bin/mysql-files/house.txt
query.student_tbl: Records: 3 Deleted: 0 Skipped: 0 Warnings: 0
query.house: Records: 3 Deleted: 0 Skipped: 0 Warnings: 0

mysql> Select * from House;
+------+--------------+
| Sr   | Name         |
+------+--------------+
| 1    | Furniture    |
| 2    | Televisoin   |
| 3    | Refrigerator |
+------+--------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> Select * from student1_tbl;
+--------+----------+-------+
| RollNo | Name     | Class |
+--------+----------+-------+
| 1      | Saurav   | 11th |
| 2      | Sahil    | 11th |
| 3      | Digvijay | 11th |
+--------+----------+-------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
