First row defines the column names in MySQL. All names from the CSV-file will be lowercased. The following rows are the values to be inserted. By default all values should be seperated by a comma - otherwise set the delimiter something else in the arguments.
FieldX,FieldY,FieldZ
testx1,testy1,testz1
Insert values into a relational table using the following syntax in the first row to specify table and column names:
[relationx|csv2mysql_id|relation_id]
In this example the table name would be "relationx" and the column names "csv2mysql_id" (referring to the id of the newly inserted row) and "relation_id" (referring to the id of the related row).
To insert multiple values seperate the values with a "-".
See example.csv for more information on the format.
