How to perform bulk data insertion in MySQL
In MySQL, you can perform bulk data insertion by using the INSERT INTO statement in combination with the syntax for multiple values. For example, you can use the following syntax to execute bulk data insertion:
INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3, ...)
VALUES (value1, value2, value3),
(value4, value5, value6),
(value7, value8, value9),
...
Table_name is the table where data will be inserted, column1, column2, column3, etc. are the names of the columns where data will be inserted, and value1, value2, value3, etc. are the values to be inserted. By adding multiple sets of values in parentheses after VALUES, multiple pieces of data can be inserted at once.
Alternatively, you can also use the LOAD DATA INFILE statement to insert data in bulk, which allows you to load data from an external file and insert it into a table. For example:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'data.txt' INTO TABLE table_name
In this way, the data from the data.txt file can be bulk inserted into the table_name table. It is important to note that only users with file read permission can execute the LOAD DATA INFILE statement.
