| Can anyone recommend any CSV to MySQL conversion tools? I've got a flatfile database which has a series of fields that I need to import into MySQL. Most of the fields in the orginal will map to new ones in the MySQL, while some on both sides will be ignored Any recommendations welcome

| Unfortunately I need to do more than just load the CSV in if you look at my original post

| This is not a tool as such, but my method for doing this. If I am reading this correctly you have for example in the csv fields id, name, address, csvIgnore1, csvIgnore2 and in the mysql fields id, name, address, mysqlIgnore1, mysqlIgnore2 where you want to map id, name, address, and ignore other fields. The way I usually do it, is to get all the fields in the csv to match the fields in the mysql database and then import it using the import tool in phpMyAdmin. I usually import the cvs into microsoft access (or create a new mysql database) delete the fields I don't want and create the fields to match the existing mysql database. Then export it as csv and do an import in phpMyAdmin to the existing database. |

| I made something like this a while back for exporting data to CSV, changing it and then importing back in. If you want I'll modify it to let you drop columns etc. |

Aren't there any desktop apps that do this already though?
