LOAD DATA LOCAL, How do I skip the first line?

I'm trying to Load a CSV file into my MySQL database, But I would like to skip the first line.

I fact It contains the name of my columns and no interesting data.

Here is the query I'm using:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/myfile.csv' 
INTO TABLE tableName
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '\"' 
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' 
(column,column,column);
Solution 
  • LOAD DATA INFILE '/tmp/test.txt' INTO TABLE test IGNORE 1 LINES;
