Stefan, currently I have no Windows box on hands, to check it out on Win32, but I remember that it works for me at least on 4.0.6 with local-infile=1 in my.cnf. It also works like a charm on my Linux box on 4.0.7: mysql> LOAD DATA LOCAL '/tmp/a.sql' INTO TABLE a; Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.01 sec) Records: 3 Deleted: 0 Skipped: 0 Warnings: 0 -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/?ref=ensita This email is sponsored by Ensita.net http://www.ensita.net/ __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Egor Egorov / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ MySQL AB / Ensita.net <___/ www.mysql.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
