Another easy option is to save your SQL query exactly as you would type it an the MySQL prompt in a text file, then:
Code:
mysql -u yourname -p < myquery.sql
If you can specify the filename in the query (and have permission), then you can do it that way.
I've now had the chance to test this, it does indeed work! Thanks a lot! I want to thank you for your help, I really appreciate it. My CSV file extracts its contents into a date-based folder (Format: YYYY-MM-DD), what I'm wondering is, is it possible to tell my `csv_import.sql` (which is where my big LOAD DATA FILE sits) to use the latest date in the folder structure? I tried the following but MySQL complained that there was an error.
Code:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/path/to/inbounddata/data/%Y-%m-%d/traveldata.csv'
Is there a way of either, passing a date argument to my .sql file, or perhaps telling this command to use the latest date as part of the folder structure? Thanks

LOAD(7) SQL Commands LOAD(7)NAME
LOAD - load a shared library file
SYNOPSIS
LOAD 'filename'
DESCRIPTION
This command loads a shared library file into the PostgreSQL server's address space. If the file has been loaded already, the command does
nothing. Shared library files that contain C functions are automatically loaded whenever one of their functions is called. Therefore, an
explicit LOAD is usually only needed to load a library that modifies the server's behavior through ``hooks'' rather than providing a set of
functions.
The file name is specified in the same way as for shared library names in CREATE FUNCTION [create_function(7)]; in particular, one can rely
on a search path and automatic addition of the system's standard shared library file name extension. See in the documentation for more
information on this topic.
Non-superusers can only apply LOAD to library files located in $libdir/plugins/ -- the specified filename must begin with exactly that
string. (It is the database administrator's responsibility to ensure that only ``safe'' libraries are installed there.)
COMPATIBILITY
LOAD is a PostgreSQL extension.
