RE: load data

Can you not change your proceedure and format your dates first using DAT_FORMAT()?
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function _date-format

You could put a trigger on the table that would format the dates before insert (although I'd go for the above)

Subject: Fwd: load data

 Hi All,
We have an application where we load data on a daily basis and then do some analysis and the move this data into different tables.

Data is comming in files. The date format in the file is "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss', but as you all know, in mysql , the default date format is "yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss". How can i specifiy this format in the load data infile script.

I tried this

 LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'abc.txt' INTO TABLE abc FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' LINES TERMINATED BY '^V\n' (doj timestamp "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss");

but data is not getting inserted.

Do you need help?
