Hi Experts, I am having an issue with importing a large(60MB) CSV file in MYSQL DB. The problem arises when an address field has multiple comma seperated values e.g. home no, street no, town etc.

I tried to use BigDump for it but, the problem did not solved because of a single field containing multiple comma separated values.

Any idea, suggestion or solution from experts how to handle it? Please reply, because I am sick of it.

Thanks
