importing excel data into mysql

[m***@monitor.wc.lt]

You can save an Excel file as a .csv file, when you save it,In excel
File->Save As... Then under file types in the save as window scroll down and
click Comma Seperated Value(.csv), BEWARE that your data is now comma
delimited, so if your data contains comma's this will surely mess up your
column layout definition. Once you have created the CSV file you can then
use the LOAD DATA INFILE utility at a mysql prompt. Check out
http://www.mysql.com/doc/L/O/LOAD_DATA.html. This should be enough to get
you going, let me know if you have any questions..

Subject: importing excel data into mysql
hello.
i want to import about 2500 entries in an ACT database into my mysql
database. ACT can export to Excel and i know that MySQL can import certain
data types.
How exactly, do I go about creating the data file (.csv?) and then importing
it into MySQL?
Thanks a lot,
Kevin
