Newbie Problem, but I've tried creating a new table and importing the csv to that then updating, but I have been having trouble with that, any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
I have a csv file that contains about 1500 entries, with an "ID" column and an "Unit" column. I am trying to figure out the best way to update, in my mySQL workbench table, the "unit" of only the IDs in my csv file.
CSV File
id_inv unit
1, aaa
2, aaa
3, aaa
5, aaa
10, aaa
DB Table
id_inv unit ... other columns
1 bbb
2 bbb
3 bbb
4 bbb
5 bbb
6 bbb
7 bbb
8 bbb
9 bbb
10 bbb

Import CSV file to temporary table and then run the UPDATE. For example:
You may need to use different symbols for fields and lines terminators and file path of course. Also if you are working with remote server use "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE" command.
