This is because of security issues, as the manual says: In MySQL 3.23.49 and MySQL 4.0.2, we added some new options to deal with possible security issues when it comes to LOAD DATA LOCAL. [snip] If you don't configure MySQL with --enable-local-infile, then LOAD DATA LOCAL will be disabled by all clients, unless one calls mysql_options(... MYSQL_OPT_LOCAL_INFILE, 0) in the client. [snip] For the mysql command-line client, LOAD DATA LOCAL can be enabled by specifying the option -- local-infile[=1], or disabled with --local-infile=0. Full text: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/LOAD_DATA_LOCAL.html I use 4.0.7-max-nt on a Win2K box, and whatever I do, I cannot use LOAD DATA LOCAL (keep getting error 1148). I tried: - Starting the server with --local-infile=1, and once more with --local-infile. - Starting the mysql client with --local-infile[=1] - Combining server and client options The manual page on this is quite contradictory. I agree with the user comment on that manual page: I just wasted 3 hours of my time tracking down this annoying security "improvement" -- thanks but no thanks, MySQL developers. This was poorly thought out and poorly implemented. Any hints how to make LOAD DATA LOCAL work?
