I seem to have a version problem. I'm using v. 3.23.51 on a Windows standalone system -- there is no network here. *ALL I want* is to run MySQL standalone on this machine. So do I need to "start the server"? MySQL seems to mostly work fine if I just go and do:
C:\mysql\bin> mysql without "starting the server." The manual's Windows directions seem to assume a network situation, which is not my case. Also of concern is that when I inquire about version as follows I get "for Win95/Win98" although I'm using Win XP (Home). -------------------- C:\mysql\bin>mysql --version mysql Ver 11.18 Distrib 3.23.51, for Win95/Win98 (i32) C:\mysql\bin>mysqld --version mysqld Ver 3.23.51-max-debug for Win95/Win98 on i32 -------------------- One thing that's currently NOT working is the following command: -------------------- LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "C:\\MO10.txt" INTO TABLE stud1 fields terminated by "/" lines terminated by '\r\n'; -------------------- That produces: "ERROR 1148 at line 1: The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version." That's what's making me wonder about version issues. I've checked the manual and see no other reason for that message. Also, per advice here, I tried putting local-infile=1 in the [mysqld] and [mysql] sections of my.cnf(my.ini), but that does not change the behavior. Help would be appreciated!
