Hi,

I'm having a problem as follows:

In my database (which just needs to work rather than be of commercial
quality) I have an orders table.  Each order contains an order number and a
reference to ordered_items.  Ordered_items table contains things like the
name of the product and the price.

Now obviously the orders->ordered_items link is a 1-to-many relationship
since in any one order I should be able to order 5 different items.

At the moment I am using:
load data local infile "orders.txt" into table orders;
to load the data.  However, using this method I don't know how to enter say
10 ordered_item IDs into the tab-separated table contained in orders.txt.

I'm sure that people on this list must make similar databases every day, and
some basic help would be much appreciated.

Regards, Saqib Shaikh
