Import file content

import(string $schema_name, string $table_name, string $hide_errors) 

Import method writes the content of the import file to the database. Security checks:

  • Only INSERT INTO is allowed: no other DML, DDL and DCL statements allowed
  • Only inserts into the table name provided are allowed
  • Use explain to check the number of tables affect: more than 1 looks like SQL injection

Since wpdb-query() only processes one query at a time we only need to check the type of statement at the beginning of the script ($file_content).

This method only return -1 if a failure occurs or the number of rows inserted. The number of probable error cause is to huge and complex to check all possibilities. Exports created from the WP Data Access table list should normally import without problems. For manually created imports responsibility is with the developer.
