Load Data into MySQL

I have a table in which its primary key is auto-incremented. Yet, when
I try to load data using load data infile, this column will not
auto-increment. I am leaving that column blank in my file to be
uploaded, yet it fills this value in with a zero for all records.

Should I be using a php script to load this file? Why isnt this
updating correctly?

Are you loading the blank information from the file into that field?
Simply leave that field out of the import all together and it should
auto-increment.

When I execute this SQL statement in my PHP code, I get an error "File '.\Address.txt' not found (Errcode: 2)" $File = addslashes(".\Address.txt"); $SQL = "Load Data InFile \"" . $File . "\" into table addresses"; $result = mysql_query($SQL) or die(mysql_error()); The file is located in the same directory as my .PHP file. How do I generate a relative address for this file so that it can be found?

I am trying to use the geometry data types introduced in version 4.1-alpha and the spatial indexing seems to work well. But I have a large volume of data to load, and from the documentation all I can see is that I have to load using a set of INSERT (or UPDATE) commands, which are rather verbose, and which produce a lot of messages each time a row is inserted: INSERT INTO tm VALUES ( 0.01082, 0.08536, ...

Then the only way you can do it that I can think of is to write a PHP script to do basically what PHPMyAdmin is trying to do but without the LOCAL in there. However to do that you would need to be able to place the PHP file on the server, and I guess you probably can't do that either. Talk about catch 22... The only other way I can think of is to install MySQL on a machine you control, then import the data there using the method I...

What are the differences between LOAD DATA INFILE and LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE ? I found some web hosting company do not allow using LOAD DATA INFILE but allow LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE. The reason is for the sake of security. What does that mean ?
