Import From Excel File Into Mysql Database

csmith
Has anyone tried using the excel import function that comes with phpmyadmin http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/ - it does not require any additional plug-ins or scripts and is fairly straightforward to use. In phpmyadmin, if you click on the database table which you wish to import the data to , there is a link on the bottom left corner which says "insert data from a text file into the table" - although it says text file it still can be used to import an excel file. When you click on this link you will be taken to a page where you will be asked for the file name (the excel file should be saved as a csv file), how the fields in the file are terminated (you would change this to a "," without the quotation marks), and other data formatting attributes (these are usually left blank). I have never found any problem when using this

Cool, I just wish you coulve posted this like a couple of months ago. A friend who is a programmer had to make a little php program that would import a huge excel file into phpmyadmin. He first exported the excel as text and then run it through his program and everything was loaded into phpmyadmin. This method wouldve saved us a lot of time.

Hi,

I'm wrestling with the same issue for some time. We want to import our XLS files if possible to a MYSQL database and make them search-able. By the way I had another question that someone here may know the answer and that is how to invert this XLS file into TXT format to import it to MYSQL anyway?


Thank you for your help.

  7. Index In A Mysql Database
    Make the numbers follow (3)
    I hope I am on topic here (It does have to do with web design, after all). I have noticed that in a
    MySQL database, the 'id' field just keeps its numbers for every record, with the backdraw
    that, whenever you remove (a) record(s) from the table, you get your list numbered as eg.
    1,5,6,7,12,25 etc. This makes it a bit difficult of keeping track of the number of records in your
    table. Is there a way of achieving (either in PHPMyAdmin or through the use of PHP) that the id
    field in your table gets sort of 'refreshed and updated' so you have a clearer view....

    form data as a .CSV file. Now I was wondering if you can do the same with a .CSV file as you do
    with a MySQL databse, ie. displaying the data in that file on a web page which adjusts automatically
    as data are added to the file. To clarify: eg. if I make a form to sign a petition online, the data
    are saved to a .CSV file every time someone fills in the form, is it now possibl....

    emailed to you. It further offers a facility to store the results and all that, all you have to do
    is put a link in the program, telling it which page takes care of that. However, when I look at the
    HTML code the program generates, I see that most of it is written in Javascript. Obviously, it also

    number to a record in the format "00001", "00002", etc. However, when I use "int" as datatype, it
    only displays th field contents as "1", "2" etc. So, which data type could do the job for me? i do
    not need a decimal point or anything, just an id that displays in 5 figures, including the leading
    zeros. Thanks in advance.....
