I want to upload data through CSV files in my contact management application. The CSV file structure is like this:
Name, Phone, City
John Doe, 555-555-5555, New York
While the table structure in the db is like this:
name, phone, city_id
In the database, the city name is stored in another table and the foreign key is referenced in the contacts table.
My question is how can I replace the city names in the CSV file with city id for insertion into db.
Background info: Language is PHP and databas开发者_Python百科e is MySQL
Thanks
Load firstly into temporary table with structure (Name, Phone, City), and after that make proper insert:
Select name, phone, city_id
from temptable t, cities c
WHERE t.city = c.CityName
