Dear Wenbert,

Thank you for replying.
Unfortunately, I can’t create PHP scripts (I don’t even know what they are), but fortunately, I found a lot of huge and downloadable databases and CSV files on the internet.

Kind regards,
Paul Sprangers

Hi paul,

You can create a PHP script that will create a huge csv file.

thanks,
Wenbert

Just being curious: is this csv file freely available? I’m looking for huge csv files in order to push my own database system to its limits.

Kind regards,
Paul Sprangers

Hi lance,

Awesome. I will look up REPLACE INTO. There are other updates I needed to do. But I think the 2 statements above could do better. I will improve my working code when time permits..

Thanks lance!

Have you looked into REPLACE INTO? sounds like it would do basically everything you’re doing there in one statement…
