Import csv date changes to 0000-00-00

Question

LOAD DATA INFILE 'filename.csv' INTO TABLE table_name 
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' 
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' IGNORE 1 LINES 
(Date,col2,col3,col4,col5,col6,col7,@dummy_variable)
Set dummy_variable = 0

Loads fine but date format shows reads 0000-00-00

Date in csv is in the style dd/mm/yyyy, can't be changed in csv file.

Answer 1

You need to adjust the date to a mysql format with str_to_date

Something like below should work.

LOAD DATA INFILE 'filename.csv' INTO TABLE table_name 
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' 
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' IGNORE 1 LINES 
(@myDate,col2,col3,col4,col5,col6,col7,@dummy_variable)
Set dummy_variable = 0, Date = str_to_date(@myDate,'%d/%m/%Y')
