To the database gurus I've just started exploring mysql (I'm a db newbie), and run into a 'feature'. When I do LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/path/to/file.txt' INTO TABLE mytable; I get Error 1148: The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version I know that it's disabled for security reasons, but I don't want to have to enter each record individually. Is there a hack to get round this restriction, or do I have to recompile mysql?
