With this you have to save your text file inside the bin folder of your
mysql folder e.g c:\mysql\bin. For it to work.

On the other way we just specify the full pathname to the file.  If it's in
D:\tmp\text.txt,
use:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "D:\\tmp\\text.txt" INTO TABLE tabname;
Or:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "D:/tmp/text.txt" INTO TABLE tabname;
