MySQL

MySQL is a multithreaded, multi-user, SQL (Structured Query Language) Database Management System (DBMS).

External data input

Example:

LOAD [LOCAL] DATA INFILE 'foo.txt'
INTO TABLE company
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';

where [LOCAL] is optional and the following must be met:

If LOCAL is specified, the file is read by the client program on the client host and sent to the server. The file can be given as a full pathname to specify its exact location. If given as a relative pathname, the name is interpreted relative to the directory in which the client program was started.
If LOCAL is not specified, the file must be located on the server host and is read directly by the server.
