    Geeks,

    First of all, sorry that im posting a MySQL query here, as I didn't find any answers for my query& hope that TechNet will find a solution for me.

    Imtrying to import a csv file using the MySQLImport tool, but it returns me this odd error-

    H:\>mysqlimport.exe Events \\room.com\root-1\Reports\NamesList.csv -u root -h dcw01 -p --fields-enclosed-by='"' --ignores-lines=1 --lines-terminated-by='\r\n' --fields-terminated-by=','

    This is what i get on its execution-

    Enter password: ********
    mysqlimport.exe: Error: 1083, Field separator argument is not what is expected; check the manual,when using table: NamesList

    Kindly suggest on how to fix this.

    Cheers, Alan.

    Are you sure file you're trying to import has consistent delimiters? Error message looks like its an issue with delimiters. Can you check it first?
