Newbie... I have phpmyadmin... I'm basically looking for a quick way to import records and avoid hand- typing many field names.... (I can set the field types later) Is there a way to import into mySql with let's say a csv file - (or Tab delimited file) and have the first row be the field names. Then might you be able to import into a mysql database table (with / or without it's own preexisting field names) and have the import auto-setup the field names from the 1st row....? BTW: let's assume the file has many fields and a small amount of records.... (no timeout issues) I could use some help getting started with this.... -- Thanks - RevDave Cool @ hosting4days . com [db-lists 09]
