I am using MySQL LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE
command and I get this error:
PDOException: SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1148 The used
command is not allowed with this MySQL version: LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE
'/tmp/phpI0ox54' INTO TABLE `dev_tmp` FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED
BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' IGNORE 1 LINES; Array ( ) in
dc_real_estate_form_submit() (line 147 of /PATH/TO/PHP/SCRIPT).
What setting can we change to allow LOAD DATA LOCAL infile?
Here is the Drupal 7 code we are using:
$sql = "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '".$file."'
INTO TABLE `dev_tmp`
FIELDS
TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '\"'
LINES
TERMINATED BY '\\r\\n'
IGNORE 1 LINES";
db_query($sql);
Loading a local file in MySQL is a security hazard and is off by default, you want to leave it off if you can. When it is not permitted you get this error:
ERROR 1148 (42000): The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version
Solutions:
Use --local-infile=1
argument on the mysql commandline:
When you start MySQL on the terminal, include --local-infile=1
argument, Something like this:
mysql --local-infile=1 -uroot -p
mysql>LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/tmp/foo.txt' INTO TABLE foo
COLUMNS TERMINATED BY '\t';
Then the command is permitted:
Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 3 Deleted: 0 Skipped: 0 Warnings: 0
Or send the parameter into the mysql daemon:
mysqld --local-infile=1
Or set it in the my.cnf file (This is a security risk):
Find your mysql my.cnf
file and edit it as root.
Add the local-infile
line under the mysqld and mysql designators:
[mysqld]
local-infile
[mysql]
local-infile
Save the file, restart mysql. Try it again.
