A Step-by-Step Guide to Importing Excel Data into MySQL
[Step 1] Database Setup for Importing Excel Data into MySQL
The first step is to create a database for importing external data. The code for this step is as follows:
#structure: create database database_name
create database biomass
After creating a database, refresh the page to display the newly created database.
[Step 2] Setting Up the Table Data
In the database you created, right click on the Tables
, and select Table Data Import Wizard
.
Then, you can choose the file pathway where your file is located.
Let’s create a new table in the biomass database, and I’ll name it ‘clover_dry_weight’.
Here, for each column, you can select the data type, such as text or numbers, etc.
Now, you can see that a new table named ‘clover_dry_weight’ has been created.
[Step 3] Accessing the Data File
Now, write the code below: The data will then be displayed.
#structure: select * from database name.data table name
select * from biomass.clover_dry_weight
Then, the data will then be displayed.
Alternatively, you can click the button next to the data table. This action will open a new window where you can also view the file.
