12,793 PointsCSV to Database Example?
Hello community, I need to add a function to my site that imports a CSV file into a mysql database. When the CSV file is updated I want ruby to update the database like a cron job. I am unfamiliar with Ruby and someone has told me Ruby will best fit this function. The CSV contains car information here is an example:
I am unsure how it will read the CSV because the first column is the header that explains the values of each row.
Any advice on this would be great. I am going to display the vehicle information in an ecommerce inventory list on the front end of my site.
Could someone show me a bit of example code that would work for my needs?
Thanks
