This command is using the csvsql utility to insert data from a CSV file into a MySQL database.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
csvsql
- The name of the utility being executed.--insert
- This flag tells csvsql to generate INSERT statements for each row of data in the CSV file.--db "${mysql:--user:password@host-database}"
- This option specifies the database connection details. It uses the mysql database driver and provides the connection string in the format "user:password@host-database". The connection details should be provided within double quotes.${data-csv}
- This is the path to the CSV file that will be inserted into the database. The variabledata-csv
should be replaced with the actual file path.
By executing this command, csvsql will connect to the specified MySQL database and create INSERT statements for each row in the CSV file, inserting the data into the corresponding database table.
