    <p>I am trying to understand how to write a query to import my goodreads.com book list (csv) into my own database. I'm using PHP.</p> <pre><code>$query = "load data local infile 'uploads/filename.csv' into table books RETURN 1 LINES FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '\"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' (Title, Author, ISBN)"; </code></pre> <p>This results in data in the wrong columns, I also can't get the ISBN, no matter what I try, guessing the equals (=) sign is causing some problems.</p> <p>Here's the first two lines of the CSV: </p> <pre><code>Book Id,Title,Author,Author l-f,Additional Authors,ISBN,ISBN13,My Rating,Average Rating,Publisher,Binding,Number of Pages,Year Published,Original Publication Year,Date Read,Date Added,Bookshelves,Bookshelves with positions,Exclusive Shelf,My Review,Spoiler,Private Notes,Read Count,Recommended For,Recommended By,Owned Copies,Original Purchase Date,Original Purchase Location,Condition,Condition Description,BCID 11487807,"Throne of the Crescent Moon (The Crescent Moon Kingdoms, #1)","Saladin Ahmed","Ahmed, Saladin","",="0756407117",="9780756407117",0,"3.87","DAW","Hardcover","288",2012,2012,,2012/02/19,"to-read","to-read (#51)","to-read",,"",,,,,0,,,,, </code></pre> <p>What I want to do is only import the Title, Author, and ISBN for all books to a table that has the following fields: id (auto), title, author, isbn. I want to exclude the first row as well because I dont want the column headers, but when I have tried that it fails every time.</p> <p>What's wrong with my query?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
