I don't have any problem with unqualified filenames under Mac OS X. Still works like it used to. Perhaps --local-infiile=1 isn't actually having any effect, so the server is still really reading the file. Do you have the FILE privilege? If so, that might be the case. You can test that by making the file mode 600 so it's readable only to you, and then loading the file with the full pathname. If that's what's happening, the server will no longer be able to read it. (Assuming it doesn't run as you.) I suppose another possibility is that you're not really running mysql in the same directory where the file is located, although that seems unlikely -- unless maybe "mysql" is actually aliases to something weird. > >I then went to www.mysql.com and looked at what binary distributions were >there for Mac OS X.
