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.
