Import Text to MariaDB Automatically
Looking to import data from Text to MariaDB?
Advanced ETL Processor Enterprise provides everything you need to automate the data import without writing custom scripts. Visually map and transform your fields, then run the Import immediately or schedule it to repeat automatically.
MariaDB is a powerful open-source relational database system created by the original developers of MySQL. Designed for speed, reliability, and true open-source freedom, it serves as a drop-in replacement for MySQL. MariaDB is used by many large organizations and offers advanced features like columnar storage, dynamic columns, and high-availability clustering.

- Launch the Software
Open Advanced ETL Processor Enterprise. - Create a Directory Connection
Point to the folder containing your CSV or text files. - Create a MariaDB Database Connection
Use your hostname, database name, credentials, and port. - Create a New Transformation
- Select your transformation group
- Right-click → New
- Configure the Text File Reader
- Select your directory
- Set file mask (e.g.
*.csv,report_*.txt) - Define delimiters, fixed widths, header rows, and encoding
- Configure the MariaDB Writer
- Select your MariaDB connection
- Choose your target table
- Define insert/update strategy
- Map and Transform Fields
- Drag columns from source to destination
- Use functions for trimming, formatting, date parsing, etc.
- Run and Monitor

FAQ
Can Advanced ETL Processor import Text to MariaDB?
Yes. Advanced ETL Processor can read Text, map fields, validate data, write to MariaDB, and log the import.
Do I need to write scripts for the import?
No scripting is required for the normal import workflow. You can configure the reader, writer, mapping, validation, and schedule visually.
Can the Text import run on a schedule?
Yes. The package can run on a schedule, process matching Text files, archive originals, and write rows to MariaDB with the same validation rules each time.
Can imported data be transformed before loading?
Yes. You can clean values, convert data types, calculate fields, split columns, and apply lookup rules before writing to the target.
Can bad rows be logged or rejected?
Yes. Add validation rules so rejected rows, failed files, row counts, and error details are visible after each run.
What should I check before the first production import?
Check source layout, target table, key fields, data types, date formats, write mode, archive folder, and failure handling.
When should I not automate the import yet?
Do not automate it until the source layout, target table, key fields, and bad-row handling are clear. Automation repeats rules; it does not invent them.
Can I test the import before buying?
Yes. Download the fully functional 30-day trial, build one small import, and test it with a deliberately awkward sample file.
