Re: CSV import for files with ' apostrophe in the text

If WB proposes making a table with such names and definitions, I'm astonished ...

1 All columns---numbers, dates, everything---are text. That's excruciatingly stupid and wrong.

2 The table name and column names contain spaces. Such names need to be surrounded by backticks whenever they're referenced. Yikes.

3 The import file is suspect, MySQL usually doesn't like sequences of commas representing missing values.

So if it's me, I fix the names and definitions, create the table, then reprocess the import file to provide suitable defaults for missing values.
