Re: Re: Load local data infile problem
Jennifer, Why would they have to do that? The file does not need to be in that directory. In order to use LOAD DATA INFILE without LOCAL the file just needs to be somewhere on the server that mysqld is running on Exactly this is the point. Most ISPs (at least all the big ones who offer MySQL here in Germany) have their MySQL servers running on separate machines. As a regular customer (this applies to business customers as well) you will get _no_ account at all on the MySQL host machines. This is why you _have_ to use LOCAL to bulk import data. Obviously this does not negate the fact that LOCAL is sometimes needed, but allowing all users to write to mysql/bin is not needed at all for any reason that I can see. Maybe I am missing something? No, this was just an extreme example, thus the smiley ;-) From the docs -- http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/LOAD_DATA.html 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. (LOCAL is available in MySQL Version 3.22.6 or later.) This is the way it _should_ be, and the way it _was_ until 4.0.1 or so. With the recent versions (I tested 4.0.5 and 4.0.7 binary distributions), LOCAL will not work at all. This is a bug, not a (security) feature.

Re: Load local data infile problem
Paul, Personally, I regard this security improvement rather a bug than a feature. The implementation certainly is problematic, but the underlying issues that it tries to address is definitely real and not to be ignored. People who say otherwise generally don't understand what those issues are. Alright, now you got me :/ What I mean is there should be a way to turn LOCAL on again. It's certainly nice if you can turn it off for enhanced security, but why can't you turn it on again without compiling the server from source? The manual section says that there is a --local-infile[=1] option for the mysql CLI to turn it on, but it only mentions --local-infile=0 for the server to turn it off. To me, this looks like --local-infile=1 was intended to turn LOCAL on again, though the manual doesn't mention it.
