Export Excel data to MySQL database


We will show you how to export Excel data to MySQL db.

The steps are:

1) saved the excel data to csv format, such as below
BK001,Introduction to science,976,85.0
BK002,Human Anatomy,985,200.0
BK003,Concepts in Health,765,100.5

2) create a db table that matches the csv format
mysql> create table book_info
    -> (book_id varchar(20), book_name varchar(40), isbn_no int(11), book_price, int(10));

3) run the mysql command
mysql> load data infile 'c:\\Book1.csv' into table book_info fields terminated by ',' lines terminated by '\n';
Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.07 sec)
Records: 3  Deleted: 0  Skipped: 0  Warnings: 0

After that, the db contains the Excel data, To verify, issue the command:

mysql> select * from book_info;
+---------+-------------------------+---------+------------+
| book_id | book_name               | isbn_no | book_price |
+---------+-------------------------+---------+------------+
| BK001   | Introduction to science |     976 |         85 |
| BK002   | Human Anatomy           |     985 |        200 |
| BK003   | Concepts in Health      |     765 |        101 |
+---------+-------------------------+---------+------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
