Re: Importing Data from an XML Document into a MySQL Table

It may be best to load all such rows, then do filtering in a separate step. A common paradigm is:

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE t (...);
LOAD DATA INTO t ...;
INSERT INTO real_table SELECT ... FROM t WHERE ...;

The SELECT may include expressions, conversions, etc, and a WHERE for filtering.

Another technique is to use @variables in the LOAD DATA statement itself. This lets you do some amount of conversion on the fly. See the online manual for examples.
