title: MySQL Load Data InFile; skip rows IF
body: <p>I've spent a fair amount of time googling this but I can't seem to point myself in the right direction of exactly what I'm looking for. The problem with my .csv file is that, while the line terminator is ',,,,', some lines do not include this, so when I import the file it's fine until it gets to one of these, but then it treats it as one record that's about twice as long as the amount of columns a standard record should have, and then it's thrown off from that point forward. What I need to do is skip the records (data between ',,,,' terminations) that have more than the correct number of columns (15). I realize this will essentially skip 2 records each time this happens, but that's fine for the purpose of what I'm doing with a pretty large dataset.</p>
  
  <p>I've come across the IGNORE keyword, but that doesn't seem to apply. What I'm looking for is something like: for each record during import, skip record if record.columns.count > 15. Here is my import statement, thanks for any help provided.</p>
  
  <pre><code>LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "/Users/foo/Desktop/csvData.csv"
  INTO TABLE csvData
  COLUMNS TERMINATED BY ','
  OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
  ESCAPED BY '"'
  LINES TERMINATED BY ',,,,';
  </code></pre>
