1148: The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version

 ADOConnection._Execute(LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/var/www/in2fonenew/inv/test.txt'
 INTO TABLE  tbl_transaction FIELDS TERMINATED BY '||' enclosed by '`..., false)

And the Query is Mentioned Below for this Purpose

$sql="LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '".$docroot."/inv/".$dbfile."' INTO TABLE 
tbl_transaction FIELDS TERMINATED BY '||' enclosed by '`' LINES TERMINATED
 BY '|||||' (field1,field2,field3,field4,field5,field6)";

What i have done Wrong here?

Answer 1

Source: GitHub

"If LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE is disabled, either in the server or the client, a client that attempts to issue such a statement receives the following error message: ERROR 1148: The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version"

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE must be explicitly enabled.

Answer 2

From the MySQL 5.5 manual page:

LOCAL works only if your server and your client both have been configured to permit it. For example, if mysqld was started with --local-infile=0, LOCAL does not work. See Section 6.1.6, “Security Issues with LOAD DATA LOCAL”.

You should set the option:

local-infile=1

into your [mysql] entry of my.cnf file or call mysql client with the --local-infile option:

mysql --local-infile -uroot -pyourpwd yourdbname

You have to be sure that the same parameter is defined into your [mysqld] section too to enable the "local infile" feature server side.

It's a security restriction.
