How to transfer big .txt file to MySQL?

Tags:

php

mysql

I have a very big .txt file of millions of strings and it has separation sign.

So, what is the easiest way to transfer all those strings to database? Is it PHP fopen and taking every string with explode and inserting it into database?

FILE IS 2 GB.

Use phpmyadmin to generate the command for you, ie.:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'input_file' INTO TABLE `tablename` FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'

Quoted from http://vegdave.wordpress.com/2007/05/19/import-a-csv-file-to-mysql-via-phpmyadmin/
