Loads tables from text files in various formats. The base name of the
text file must be the name of the table that should be used.
If one uses sockets to connect to the MySQL server, the server will open and
read the text file directly. In other cases the client will open the text
file. The SQL command 'LOAD DATA INFILE' is used to import the rows.
Usage: mysqlimport [OPTIONS] database textfile...

Fields in the input file are escaped by the given
character.
-f, --force Continue even if we get an SQL error.
-?, --help Displays this help and exits.
-h, --host=name Connect to host.
-i, --ignore If duplicate unique key was found, keep old row.
--ignore-lines=# Ignore first n lines of data infile.
--lines-terminated-by=name
Lines in the input file are terminated by the given

-L, --local Read all files through the client.
-l, --lock-tables Lock all tables for write (this disables threads).
--low-priority Use LOW_PRIORITY when updating the table.
