Question

I have an file with Currency Sign delimeter : 20130217¤18122¤14 20130217¤62152¤14 20130217¤54512¤10

LOAD DATA INFILE '$file'
   REPLACE INTO TABLE $my_table
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY '¤'
    IGNORE 1 LINES

The table has columns date, id, num.

The error is #1292 - Incorect date value: '20130217¤18122¤14' for column 'DATE' at row 1

Was it helpful?

Solution

The reason you're getting this is because non-ASCII terminators are not fully supported.

See this error message in the docs:

Error: 1638 SQLSTATE: HY000 (WARN_NON_ASCII_SEPARATOR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) Message: Non-ASCII separator arguments are not fully supported

The good news is that multi-character separators are supported, so you could use sed or something to replace your ¤ with #%&%# or something equally unique, and use that as a separator:

The FIELDS TERMINATED BY, LINES STARTING BY, and LINES TERMINATED BY values can be more than one character.
