Python MySQLdb LOAD LOCAL INFILE problems
- by belvoir
The problem is a simple one. When I execute the following I get different results depending on whether I run it from the MySQL console and from inside a Python Script using MySQLdb:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/tmp/source.csv' INTO TABLE test
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
IGNORE 1 LINES;
Console gives the following results:
Records: 35002 Deleted: 0 Skipped: 0 Warnings: 0
Python (via .info()) returns the following:
Records: 34977 Deleted: 0 Skipped: 0 Warnings: 8
So in summary, same source file, same SQL request, different results.
From the console I can 'SHOW WARNINGS' an get a better handle on which records are causing the problems and why but from Python I can't idenitify how to do this or more importantly what the cause of the problem could be.
Any suggestions?
MySQL Server '5.1.41-3ubuntu12.1'
Python '2.6.5'
Tables are MyISAM
