timmah1 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 What is the best way to import an excel worksheet into a MySQL database? I save it as Tab Delimited, I get errors, I save it as a Comma delimited, I get errors. I did run the query once, but the only thing that was entered was the id (because it's auto increment) How do I get this database of 349 items into the database without manually typing each one in? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztec Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hello I used a program called SQLyog which will allow you to inport a CVS file. Sorry I cannot be more specific but it was some time ago. I know it worked with an Excel sheet I needed to get into mysql, you can download it for free at some sites. I also remember that when I searched there were other programs that will do what you require. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
