Hi all, I'm new to MySQL. I'd like to add data from an Excel spreadsheet to a table I've made in a MySQL database. The spreadsheet is saved as a CSV, so I did the following:

bulk insert minipivot from 'C:\\Users\\Chirag Krishna\\Desktop\\PivotTable\\Test.csv' with (fieldterminator = ',' , rowterminator = '\n')"

However, I always get a syntax error message. Any ideas as to what might be wrong with this? I've checked out some of the other threads on this issue but couldn't find what I was looking for...it's probably just some small thing that I'm forgetting. Thanks for your help!

Apologies- minipivot is the table in the database, and I did remember to add the semicolon at the end.

Also, this forum specializes in Microsoft SQL Server. For MySQL questions, you may get faster and better responses at dbforums.com. Post the question AND the error message though.
