Importing Excel into MySQL — Quick Facts

  • About this database: MySQL uses backtick-quoted identifiers and the LIMIT clause. Compatible with Amazon Aurora MySQL and Amazon RDS for MySQL (same protocol).
  • Default port: 3306
  • Identifier quoting: `backtick`
  • Date / time types: DATETIME, TIMESTAMP, DATE, TIME
  • Large text type: TINYTEXT / TEXT / MEDIUMTEXT / LONGTEXT
  • Binary type: BLOB / TINYBLOB / LONGBLOB
  • Command-line import: mysqlimport, or LOAD DATA INFILE

Common Pitfalls When Importing Excel into MySQL

  • InnoDB rolls the whole batch back on the first error unless strict mode is relaxed or INSERT IGNORE is used.
  • AUTO_INCREMENT keeps counting after a rollback, so failed rows leave gaps in the id sequence.
