Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Monks,

I have a problem to uploading a text file into mysql.

The following errors is showing:

You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that correspon +ds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '"\r +"' at line 1 at C:/Apache2/cgi-bin/dbi.cgi line 13.

Here is my coding for your view

#!d:\perl\bin\perl use CGI qw(:standard); use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser); use DBI; print header; print start_html("Results"); my $dbh=DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:test','root','') or die "Can't connect + $DBI::errstr"; my $sql=qw(load data local infile 'temp.txt' into table t1 FIELDS TERM +INATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY """",LINES TERMINATED BY "\r"); #my $sql ="insert into t1 values('kushboo', 1)"; ## ITS WORKING my $sth=$dbh->prepare($sql) || die "$DBI::errstr"; $sth->execute || die "$DBI::errstr"; $dbh->disconnect; print end_html;

Thanks in Advance!!

    qw stands for "quoted words", and it will produce a list.

    When you assign the result of qw to a scalar, it will get the last element of the list.

    $ perl -le '$x = qw(a b c); print $x' c $ perl -le '$x = q(a b c); print $x' a b c

    Replace qw() with q() and all will be well.

    After
    my $sql=qw(load data local infile 'temp.txt' into table t1 FIELDS TERM +INATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY """",LINES TERMINATED BY "\r");
    you can write
    print $sql; exit;
    bye!!

    Did you try to replace the double quotes ("") in \r with single quotes?

    my $sql="load data local infile 'temp.txt' into table t1 FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY \"\"\"\",LINES TERMINATED BY '\r'";
