Finding MySQL errors from LOAD DATA INFILE

Question

I am running a LOAD DATA INFILE command in MySQL and one of the files is showing errors at the mysql prompt.

How do I check the warnings and errors? Right now the only thing I have to go by is the fact that the prompt reports 65,535 warnings on import.

mysql> use dbname;
Database changed
mysql> LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/dump.txt'
    -> INTO TABLE table
    -> (id, title, name, accuracy);
Query OK, 897306 rows affected, 65535 warnings (16.09 sec)
Records: 897306  Deleted: 0  Skipped: 0  Warnings: 0

How do I get mysql to show me what those warnings are? I looked in the error log but I couldn't find them. Running the "SHOW WARNINGS" command only returned 64 results which means that the remaining 65,000 warnings must be somewhere else.

How do I find these errors?

Answer 1

The MySQL SHOW WARNINGS command only shows you a subset of the warnings. You can change the limit of warning shown by modifying the parameter max_error_count.
