This looks like a good solution, however... it states;

Quote:
...mysqlimport strips any extension from the file name and uses the result to determine the name of the table into which to import the file's contents. For example, files named patient.txt, patient.text, and patient all would be imported into a table named patient.
So this means that the CSV file has to be named the same as the table -- but what if I want to import into a specific table?

I don't want to be reliant upon the CSV filename, especially if the name suddenly changes then the mysqlimport code will result in an error.

mdb-parsecsv

MDBTools(1)															       MDBTools(1)

NAME

       mdb-parsecsv - Convert CSV table dump into C file.

SYNOPSIS

       mdb-parsecsv file

DESCRIPTION

       mdb-parsecsv is a utility program distributed with MDB Tools.

       mdb-parsecsv takes a CSV file representing a database table, and converts it into a C array.

NOTES

       If the first argument does not exist as a file, mdb-parsecsv will look for the same filename with '.txt' appended.

       The file extension is stripped, and the output written to the base name plus a '.c' extension.

ENVIRONMENT

       MDB_JET3_CHARSET
	      Defines the charset of the input JET3 (access 97) file. Default is CP1252. See iconv(1).

       MDBICONV
	      Defines the output charset to use for the SQL file. Default is UTF-8. mdbtools must have been compiled with iconv.

       MDBOPTS
	      semi-column separated list of options:

	      o  use_index

	      o  no_memo

	      o  debug_like

	      o  debug_write

	      o  debug_usage

	      o  debug_ole

	      o  debug_row

	      o  debug_props

	      o  debug_all is a shortcut for all debug_* options
