Background / Problem:
On Windows, importing OpenFlights data using
load-data.sqlcan fail with:ERROR 1406 (Data too long for column 'active')
This happens because Windows files use CRLF line endings (
\r\n), while the original script usesLINES TERMINATED BY '\n'.MariaDB reads the carriage return (\r) as part of the last column, causing data length errors for some short columns (like
activein airlines).Proposed Solution:
sql/load-data-windows.sqlspecifically for Windows users.LOAD DATAcommands to useLINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'.load-data.sqlremains unchanged for Linux/macOS users.Recommendation / Request:
load-data-windows.sqlto successfully import the data.
