How to import data from 2 text files?

[Ryan Shuell]

I've use MySQL a bit in the past, but just doing basic queries on a database that's already setup.

Now, I'm trying to figure out how to import data from 2 text files. I'm working with Workbench 6.0. I don't know if I have to create a database, per se, or simply import the data and create two tables as the data is imported. I can select Database and Connect to Database, but I don't think I necessarily want to connect to a database. I don't see any way to import files. In SQL Server or Access this would be very simple. I just don't see any way to do it in MySQL. Can someone here give me some guidance?

Thanks!!
