csv2sql-lite is a transform stream which is both writable and readable. You would write a .csv file/string into it, and read out MySQL INSERT statements. Useful for large .csv files so one does not have to buffer the .csv into memory.

Note: This repo can be found on npm here: csv2sql-lite

Note: See csv2sql-stream on npm for an alternative.

Caveat: The .csv parsing is very rudimentary, however it can be replaced easily by many modules on npm, look for lineToInsert() in the source.

Caveat: Only tested on *nix OS, YMMV on Windoze.

Usage

Install:

npm install csv2sql-lite

Use:

var CSV2SQL = require('csv2sql-lite');
var csv2sql = CSV2SQL(opts);

See below for the documentation of opts, the options object.

Example

Open up a read stream to the .csv file and a write stream to where you want the .sql file to be output:

//csv_stream.js
var fs = require('fs');
var rstream = fs.createReadStream('./data.csv');
var wstream = fs.createWriteStream('./mysql.sql');

Load the csv2sql-lite module, with options:

var CSV2SQL = require('csv2sql-lite');
var csv2sql = CSV2SQL({
  tableName: 'myTableName',
  dbName: 'myFancyDatabaseName',
});

Wire up the streams with pipe():

rstream.pipe(csv2sql).pipe(wstream);

Execute the program:

$ nodejs csv_stream.js

If you started with data.csv like this:

username,email,password
john,[e-mail],p455w0rd
suzie,[e-mail],ilovejohn

You'll end up with mysql.sql looking like this:

use myFancyDatabaseName;
INSERT INTO myTableName (username,email,password) VALUES
("john","[e-mail]","p455w0rd")
,("suzie","[e-mail]","ilovejohn")
;

Then you can easily load the .sql file into MySQL:

$ mysql -u root -p < mysql.sql

Options

You can pass an options object to csv2sql containing any of the following:

Option	Type	Default	Explanation
tableName	String	'undefined'	The name of the table to INSERT into
dbName	String	false	Optionally insert USE dbName; at beginning of .sql file
dropTable	Boolean	false	Optionally insert DROP TABLE IF EXISTS tableName; at beginning of .sql file
seperator	String	','	Optionally specify .csv file field seperator
lineSeperator	String	'\n'	Optionally specify .csv file EOL seperator
isEachLineInsert	Boolean	false	Optionally insert insert into xxx () values for each line,This is especially useful when dealing with large amounts of data
eachLineHandler	Function	undefined	before write to steam,you can use this function to deal the line string,example process geometry data everyLineHandler = (line)=>{return line.replace(/(\"POINT\(.+? .+?\)\")/g, "ST_GeomFromText($1)")}

Testing

Run npm install && npm test from the base directory to run tests.
