MySql LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE Problem

If you upload data without line terminator in the file, Data will upload perfectly but you compare field with query will not give result. particularly with last field and local file created with Excel->CSV. Data in the Mysql Table shows exact but \r\n not there so it will not compare and you will not get result of sql query.

If you have generated the text file on a Windows system, you might have to use LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' to read the file properly, because Windows programs typically use two characters as a line terminator. Some programs, such as WordPad, might use \r as a line terminator when writing files. To read such files, use LINES TERMINATED BY '\r'.

Php Example:
$sql = "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '".@mysql_escape_string($this->file_name).
"' INTO TABLE `".$this->table_name.
"` FIELDS TERMINATED BY '".",' LINES TERMINATED BY "."'"."\\r\\n"."' IGNORE 3 LINES";

Jrun can not start

after you edit jrun configuration from http://localhost:8000 or services jrun admin/cfusion can not start from anywhere (service mmc/jrun launcher). this issue is mainly related to java/jre home. if you are not updated with Jrun4 with updater7 than you can not use jre 1.5 or higher. to start jrun again edit file jvm.config (c:\jrun4\bin) and edit java.home line and make sure to use jre/jdk 1.4. also edit system variable JAVA_HOME to old version.
You can also update Jrun4 with updater7 to resolve this issue. after update you can use Java 1.5 and above.
