I am having problems getting the "load data local infile" working.
I am running Mac OS X 10.1.3 build 5Q110 with all available updates installed. I had installed version 3.23.49 from http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/mysql/ and found that a change was made in verion 3.23.49 as related to the use of local files. I added --local-infile=1 when I run mysql and the command was accepted. The problem I was then having is that if I issued the following command load data local infile 'mt2308.dat' into table mt2308 ; mt2308.dat was not found. I had to specify the fully qualified file name for the command to work. This is a change from the way it used to work as I recall. It was the case that at one time this command would find the file if the file was in the current working directory. I then went to www.mysql.com and looked at what binary distributions were there for Mac OS X. First I downloaded version 3.23.49 but when I tried to run that version /usr/lib/libpthread.A.dylib was not found. I could not find where I could get this library. I then picked up version 3.23.47 and although I did not need to use --local-infile=1 the file was not find unless I specified the fully qualified file name. Two questions. First, what can I do to get the MySQL version 3.23.49 working on my system so I have the current version of the software? Second, what can be done so I do not need to specify the fully qualified file name? I am a software developer and to facilitate the exchange of setups it would be nice not to have to specify the fully qualified name. As I mentioned this is the way it used to work in some recent version. I do not know what version made it necessary to specify the full name. Thanks for any help with these items. -- Jim Dickenson mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Computers for Marketing Corporation http://www.cfmc.com/ eFax: 1-419-791-8924 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
