Observation: I guess there's no way to just give myself a 'free pass' to be able to load data into any database. It appears I have to name a particular database right at the start.
A database is a database; there is nothing _outside_ a database. If you load the mysql shell without specifying a database, you are in limbo.
What's up with that? I checked the folder 'menagerie' in the Sites folder. pet.txt is most definitely there, and it contains comma delimited rows to go with the tutorial table I'm working at.
LOAD DATA is executed by the server, therefore within the server's directory namespace.
