LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE not working

[Conjurer]

I am running version 4.0.12.NT on a Win XP Pro OS.

 

I am trying to work through the MySQL book by DuBois. When I try to run a load command I get an error.

 

From the mysql prompt I entered:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE \'member.txt\' INTO TABLE member;

 

What I get is:

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

 

Why is Load Data command not working? How can I fix this?

 

I should add that if I go to command prompt and use

mysqlimport --local sampdb member.txt

that works. The file loads.

 

:roll:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE \'member.txt\' INTO TABLE member;  

 

What I get is:  

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

 

try to remove the LOCAL :

 

LOAD DATA INFILE \'member.txt\' INTO TABLE member;

Tried that ... now I get a different error:

 

LOAD DATA INFILE \'member.txt\' INTO TABLE member;

ERROR 1105: File \'.sampdbmember.txt\' not found (Errcode: 2)

 

Which I don\'t understand because the current directory is where the file is located. When I do a \"dir\" at the cmd prompt it returns:

Directory of C:Documents and SettingsRLaneMy DocumentsActive Web SitesLocalhostsampdb

 

and the listing of files shows the member.txt file.

 

Are we getting closer?

to see if it works put the file member.txt on the root (ie c:) and try this

 

LOAD DATA INFILE \'c:member.txt\' INTO TABLE member;
