I have a million of rows of customers to be imported via SQL dump. Customer data will be inserted into main table customer and child table customer_address The dump contains the following SQL statements: **File**: customer-dump.sql BEGIN TRANSACTION; INSERT INTO customer (firstname, lastname) VALUES ('John', 'Doe'); INSERT INTO customer_address (customer_id, city, country) VALUES (LAST_INSERT_ID(), 'New York', 'USA'); COMMIT; BEGIN TRANSACTION; INSERT INTO customer (firstname, lastname) VALUES ('Lorem', 'Ipsum'); INSERT INTO customer_address (customer_id, city, country) VALUES (LAST_INSERT_ID(), 'Chicago', 'USA'); COMMIT; # So on for N no of customers I am importing via CLI as: mysql -u [user] -p [database] /tmp/customer-import-error.log **My Queries:** - How to continue the script execution even if there is a failure in some rows? - How to show/log errors for failed rows? - Any advice on such massive import?
