How to Import CSV File Data Into Mysql Using PHP


If you are a developer then definitely you might have faced this. Many times you  need to import data from a CSV (comma separated value) file and insert it into your MySQL database. Say for Example consider a case when you have many records in a CSV file and you need to import them into your MySQL database then you can’t  insert each n every single record manually as it will take too much time. This case arises mostly when you want to import existing data in your website. In this tutorial I am going to  explain you how easily you can do that.


SQL query to create csvdata table:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `csvtbl`(
 `ID` int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
 `name` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
 `city` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY (`ID`) )



csvimport.php File

Download File

<?php 

//database connection details
$connect = mysql_connect('localhost','root','123456');

if (!$connect) {
 die('Could not connect to MySQL: ' . mysql_error());
 }

//your database name
$cid =mysql_select_db('test',$connect);

// path where your CSV file is located
define('CSV_PATH','C:/wamp/www/');

// Name of your CSV file
$csv_file = CSV_PATH . "test.csv";

if (($getfile = fopen($csv_file, "r")) !== FALSE) { 
        $data = fgetcsv($getfile, 1000, ",");
        while (($data = fgetcsv($getfile, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
         $num = count($data); 
         for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
             $result = $data; 
             $str = implode(",", $result); 
             $slice = explode(",", $str);
             $col1 = $slice[0]; 
             $col2 = $slice[1];
             $col3 = $slice[2]; 

// SQL Query to insert data into DataBase

$query = "INSERT INTO csvtbl(ID,name,city)
VALUES('".$col1."','".$col2."','".$col3."')";

$s=mysql_query($query, $connect ); 
     }
   } 
  }

echo "File data successfully imported to database!!"; 
mysql_close($connect); 
?>

Conflict Serializability in database

Image
To maintains database state consistency we introduce serializability. Using serializability we can understand which schedule will ensure consistency, and which schedule will not. When we are capable of converting a concurrent schedule into a serial schedule then we cal it serializable schedule. A schedule is serializable if it is equivalent to a serial schedule. We divided this concepts into two parts 1. Conflict serializability  & 2. View serializability In this discussion I just clarify you the conflict serializability. Consider two instruction read, write and the data item A and B. When two instruction execute different data item such as read(A) and read(B), then we can swap the instruction without affecting the result of the schedule. But when the data item is equivalent to one another we need to consider following four condition.    a.   read (A ),    read ( A ).   they   don’t conflict.    b.   read ( Q),  ...
