As it says in the documentation, "If the LOCAL keyword is specified, the file is read from the client host. If LOCAL is not specified, the file must be located on the server." That means that with LOCAL the MySQL *client* must be able to access the file, but without LOCAL it's the MySQL *server* that needs access. The MySQL server probably doesn't (or at least shouldn't) have access to your home directory. [Filter: SQL] -- Keith C.
