in reply to Problem uploading 'large' CSV file using DBI

We're missing the part where you show us what error occurred, what data was loaded, and the contents of execute_it() and close_db().

    I'm not receiving any type of error message. When I check the SQL table after running the script only the first line appears with a snippet of the second line's information appearing in the last column.

    Teacher"2,"01
    appears in the last column. The snippet of the second line is: 2,"01 (Teacher" from the first line) in the last column and then no other information is input into the database. Is there any more information that is needed?

      Perhaps your line endings aren't Mac-ish like \r. Perhaps they're UNIXy like \n or DOSish like \r\n.
        I had already tried "\r" and "\r\n", but not "\n". Using "\n" everything loaded straight in to the database flawlessly!!!!!!!

        Thank you so much. Now how do I give points and is there a standard way to show the problem has been solved?

        In addition, is there a simple way to tell what is being used to end a line?
