text drivers for .txt and .csv files ??

thanks but..
Thanks for your response, but I wanted to know how to read the .csv file, basically print it to the screen, verify the column orders and data and then do an import at some other time.
This LOAD function is only for importing into the database. I need something similar to Windows where a text/csv ODBC driver has been installed and I use it as my DSN to run my SQL query.
Now a bit of promotion to pass along:
As I become more familiar with PHP and MySQL I am finding the shortcomings in each. iHTML is a much more intuitive and more powerful scripting language. We have it installed on our UNIX server and it is something everyone should consider as an alternative.
The same goes w/ MySQL, which is a junior version of Sybase (as is Microsoft's SQL as well). I'm very concerned what will happen when our database gets very big. Will this sql be as reliable as Sybase? I hope so!
Sure PHP and MySQl are free, but you get what you pay for.

pdo_odbc-dsn
PDO_ODBC-DSN(3) 1 PDO_ODBC-DSN(3) PDO_ODBC DSN - Connecting to ODBC or DB2 databases The PDO_ODBC Data Source Name (DSN) is composed of the following elements: o DSN prefix - The DSN prefix is odbc:. If you are connecting to a database cataloged in the ODBC driver manager or the DB2 catalog, you can append the cataloged name of the database to the DSN. o DSN - The name of the database as cataloged in the ODBC driver manager or the DB2 catalog. Alternately, you can provide a complete ODBC connection string to connect to a database as described at http://www.connectionstrings.com/. o UID - The name of the user for the connection. If you specify the user name in the DSN, PDO ignores the value of the user name argument in the PDO constructor. o PWD - The password of the user for the connection. If you specify the password in the DSN, PDO ignores the value of the password argument in the PDO constructor. Example #1 PDO_ODBC DSN example (ODBC driver manager) The following example shows a PDO_ODBC DSN for connecting to an ODBC database cataloged as testdb in the ODBC driver manager: odbc:testdb Example #2 PDO_ODBC DSN example (IBM DB2 uncataloged connection) The following example shows a PDO_ODBC DSN for connecting to an IBM DB2 database named SAMPLE using the full ODBC DSN syntax: odbc:DRIVER={IBM DB2 ODBC DRIVER};HOSTNAME=localhost;PORT=50000;DATABASE=SAMPLE;PROTOCOL=TCPIP;UID=db2inst1;PWD=ibmdb2; Example #3 PDO_ODBC DSN example (Microsoft Access uncataloged connection) The following example shows a PDO_ODBC DSN for connecting to a Microsoft Access database stored at C:db.mdb using the full ODBC DSN syntax: odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=C:\db.mdb;Uid=Admin PHP Documentation Group PDO_ODBC-DSN(3)
