I am loading a large data set (60 gigs) into a database. There are some records that can be skipped because they contain values that are missing. How do I tell MySQL to skip rows that contain certain (missing in this case) values? For example, my file looks like this
Value1, Value2
1,2
3,4
,5
9,10
The third row can be skipped and not loaded. I know that I can load everything and then just delete it but processing a 60 gig file takes a long time so I want to save on the computing power.
Thanks
Create a trigger on the before insert on the table which checks if the particular field is null
CREATE TRIGGER before_insert_test
BEFORE INSERT ON test FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
-- condition to check
IF NEW.Value1 is null THEN
set msg = concat('MyTriggerError: Trying to insert a null value
in trigger_test: ', cast(new.Value1 as char));
signal sqlstate '45000' set message_text = msg;
END IF;
END$$
then run your Load data command
