VB.NET and MySQL

Hello,

I want to load a file in MySql and figured out an SQL statment that does the job

LOAD DATA INFILE 'FileList.txt' INTO TABLE `DiskSpace`.`TBL_FileList`
  FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' (@Name,@Path,dSize,@LastAccess,@LastChange,@Creation,@Extension)
  SET dteDate = '2008-03-08',
      szSite= 'Antwerp082',
      szServer='AOT30201',
      szName = REPLACE(SUBSTRING(@Name, 1, 255), '"', ''),
      szPath = REPLACE(SUBSTRING(@Path, 1, 255), '"', ''),
      dteLastAccess=STR_TO_DATE(@LastAccess, '%d/%m/%Y %H:%i'),
      dteLastChange=STR_TO_DATE(@LastChange,'%d/%m/%Y %H:%i'),
      dteCreation=STR_TO_DATE(@Creation, '%d/%m/%Y %H:%i'),
      szExtension = SUBSTRING(@Extension, 1, 25);

Now I want to use this SQL statement into VB.net application but that does not go right

szSQL = szSQL & "LOAD DATA INFILE 'FileList.txt' INTO TABLE `DiskSpace`.`TBL_FileList`"
szSQL = szSQL & "  FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' (@Name,@Path,dSize,@LastAccess,@LastChange,@Creation,@Extension)"
szSQL = szSQL & "  SET dteDate = '2008-03-08',"
szSQL = szSQL & "      szSite= 'Antwerp082',"
szSQL = szSQL & "      szServer='AOT30201',"
szSQL = szSQL & "      szName = REPLACE(SUBSTRING(@Name, 1, 255),'" & Chr(34) & "',''),"
szSQL = szSQL & "      szPath = REPLACE(SUBSTRING(@Path, 1, 255),'" & Chr(34) & "',''),"
szSQL = szSQL & "      dteLastAccess=STR_TO_DATE(@LastAccess, '%d/%m/%Y %H:%i'),"
szSQL = szSQL & "      dteLastChange=STR_TO_DATE(@LastChange,'%d/%m/%Y %H:%i'),"
szSQL = szSQL & "      dteCreation=STR_TO_DATE(@Creation, '%d/%m/%Y %H:%i'),"
szSQL = szSQL & "      szExtension = SUBSTRING(@Extension, 1, 25);"
objMySqlCommand.CommandText = szSQL
objMySqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()

Excuting this give me an error @Name not defined.
Adding this

objMySqlCommand.Parameters.Add("@Name", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 255)
objMySqlCommand.Parameters.Add("@Path", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 255)
objMySqlCommand.Parameters.Add("@LastAccess", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 25)
objMySqlCommand.Parameters.Add("@LastChange", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 25)
objMySqlCommand.Parameters.Add("@Creation", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 25)
objMySqlCommand.Parameters.Add("@Extension", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 25)
objMySqlCommand.Prepare()

gives me an SQL error because it replace @Name ... by NULL.

OK. Trying to be a smartass I added
objMySqlCommand.Parameters("@Name").Value = "@Name"
objMySqlCommand.Parameters("@Path").Value = "@Path"
objMySqlCommand.Parameters("@LastAccess").Value = "@LastAccess"
objMySqlCommand.Parameters("@LastChange").Value = "@LastChange"
objMySqlCommand.Parameters("@Creation").Value = "@Creation"
objMySqlCommand.Parameters("@Extension").Value = "@Extension"

give me  an error "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime".

So now I do not know it any longer.

Does anyone know how to pass the @var straight to the MySQL engine?Start Free Trial
