Re: Problem adding auto increment with csv import

An auto_increment column should be int/mediumint/bigint unsigned, never double since floats & doubles have rounding errors and auto_inc does not use decimals. Consider reading the manual pages on primary keys and auto_increment.

"I searched the web and this forum for a solution, and I've tried all of the suggestions without success" is surprising. Googling for "auto_increment, load data infile" gets 42,800 hits, some of which you evidently missed, most of which say to omit the auto_inc column from the column list, and set it=null like so ...

load ...
(a,b,c,d,...)
set ID=null
