Hi Milan,
The location you specified is the place where your tables are going to be
stored. However I was talking about the location of the TXT file that would
be used in the load of data.
As I said before, I placed the TXT file in the location you said but this is
not the place mySQL will look for it if you don't specify a path.
I tried to place the txt file in the bin directory and it worked.
Conclusion: if you don't specify the path of the file, mySQL will look for
it in the bin. This is the default path for mySQL.
Thanks anyway
Siomara
These are the results I got:
pet.txt is located at: C:\mysql\data\myDBFolder:
