Is it possible to feed data into a LOAD DATA command in MySQL without writing out the data to a file? It's possible to do this using the MySQL command line and a UNIX FIFO, but that's kind of clunky. I have to load a few gigabytes of data, and using INSERT takes a whole day for each update.
And can this be done portably across UNIX and Windows? Thanks. John Nagle -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
