How to use mysqlimport

[suze83]

Hi webdevlopers,

I'm following the guide located here http://www.delau.net/php/geoip.html to import a CSV file into a db but i can't get past step 2 because i have never used the mysqlimport system before. I don't what it is or how to use it.

Do i need shell/ssh/telnet access to the server in order to run the commands?

Thanks

If you are having difficulty doing this perhaps you should get a tool like sql yog (there is a free edition) in which you can get a little help doing this. I believe in sql yog they provide a very simply way to this.
