Load data to mySQL and ignore specific columns


I am trying to load a csv file into mySQL. I want to ignore 3 columns so I am using the '@' character to achieve that. It seems that everything is being uploaded apart from the data after the first column I ignore (named : 'ignore1').

Is this a bug of mySQL software?

   LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'Z:/test.csv'  
    INTO TABLE IN_Apolo
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
    ENCLOSED BY '"'
    LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
    IGNORE 1 ROWS
    (name, @date, @ignore1, @ignore2, @ignore3, column3, column4)
    set date = str_to_date(@date,'%Y-%m-%d')
    ;

column3 and column4 appear to be NULL

UPD:

I tried using this code and it works:

   LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'Z:/test.csv'  
    INTO TABLE IN_Apolo
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
    ENCLOSED BY '"'
    LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
    IGNORE 1 ROWS
    (@name, @date, @column3, @column4)
    set name=@name, date = str_to_date(@date,'%Y-%m-%d'), column3=@column3, column4=@column4     ;

but it should work with the first version too.


Solution

  • LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'Z:/test.csv' 
    INTO TABLE IN_Apolo 
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
    ENCLOSED BY '"'
    LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
    (@name, @date,@column3, @column4)
    set name=@name,date=str_to_date(@date,'%Y-%m-%d'),column3=@column3,column4=@column4;
    

    Try using this...
