text drivers for .txt and .csv files ??

As a newcomer to UNIX I need to know if there are .txt and .csx ODBC drivers available. I want to import some data and the UNIX tech which I am in contact with does not know much about UNIX!

He asked me to find out if these drivers existed or use a 'LOAD DATA INFILE' command, which is not too familiar to me since my background in databases is windows and Sybase SQL - which Mysql is based on, right?

I don't want to load the data right away, rather check for correct column orders, types, etc and then import at a later time.

UNIX, php and Mysql are very tough to get to work and take a lot of extra time. I could have done this in 2 seconds on a windows box.

Don't get me wrong, I hate anything Microsoft, but at least iHTML (which I use) is a lot better than PHP - no doubt in my mind AND Sybase is much more intuitive than MySQL - so I have to assume that UNIX is a lot more of a pain than Windows.

Any ideas about my import concern?
Pleas email me ::email removed:: since I very rarely go tho this site.

Thanks,
Noodles

Apache::Session::Lock::Sybase(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			Apache::Session::Lock::Sybase(3pm)

NAME
Apache::Session::Lock::Sybase - Provides mutual exclusion using Sybase SYNOPSIS
use Apache::Session::Lock::Sybase; my $locker = new Apache::Session::Lock::Sybase; $locker->acquire_read_lock($ref); $locker->acquire_write_lock($ref); $locker->release_read_lock($ref); $locker->release_write_lock($ref); $locker->release_all_locks($ref); DESCRIPTION
Apache::Session::Lock::Sybase fulfills the locking interface of Apache::Session. Mutual exclusion is achieved through the use of Sybase's sp_getapplock and sp_releaseapplock functions. Sybase does not support the notion of read and write locks, so this module only supports exclusive locks. When you request a shared read lock, it is instead promoted to an exclusive write lock. CONFIGURATION
The module must know how to connect to your MySQL database to acquire locks. You must provide a datasource name, a user name, and a password. These options are passed in the usual Apache::Session style, and are very similar to the options for Apache::Session::Store::Sybase. Example: tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Sybase', $id, { LockDataSource => 'dbi:sybase:database', LockUserName => 'database_user', LockPassword => 'K00l' }; Instead, you may pass in an already opened DBI handle to your database. tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Sybase', $id, { LockHandle => $dbh }; AUTHOR
This module was written by Oliver Maul <oli@42.nu>. SEE ALSO
