I am trying to use MySQL's LOAD_FILE() function to SQL UPDATE existing records in a table. I am getting a SQL syntax error I suspect because the file contains, single and double quotes as well as slashes. I have also tried reading the file in binary mode using Perl's binmode into a scalar and using MySQL UPDATE....SET, but that also bombs when the SQL is executed with a syntax error. I am at a loss, as I know INSERT will also be a pain since the data contains quotes which are needed as field separators. Anyone have any ideas on other approaches I might try? The actual SQL: is successful when executed from mysql client, so I know the MySQL requirements are met. In Perl: is what bombs. I have checked values of the scalars before SQL execution and they seem fine. Any Spiritual guidance much appreciated. In reply to Perl DBI to MySQL LOAD_FILE by Hammer2001
