Description
mysqlimport loads tables from text files in various formats. The base name
of the text file must be the name of the table that should be used. If one
uses sockets to connect to the MariaDB server, the server will open and read the
text file directly. In other cases the client will open the text file. The SQL
command LOAD DATA INFILE is used to import the rows.
Syntax
