From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.79 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.18-10a i686) Description of problem: In MySQL 3.23.49 use of LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE is not allowed, due to a bug in a security enhancement put in by the MySQL developers. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a table in a test database. 2. Attempt to load the table using LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 3. Actual Results: ERROR 1148: The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version Expected Results: The data should have been read from the file and loaded into the table, as it used to do prior to 3.23.49. Additional info: The MySQL folks fixed the bug in 3.23.50. Perhaps RedHat should pick up that version or, possibly, the latest version, 3.23.52.
This has been addressed in the current version of MySQL shipped by Red Hat. The LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE is available.
