I am trying to load data, I have it in .csv and .txt files (loading from either or is fine), into a table. When I use "load data infile" with the correct path (I'm copying and pasting the path) I get the error:
ERROR 1290 (HY000): The MySQL server is running with the --secure-file-priv option so it cannot execute this statement
Then I get this:
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "secure_file_priv";
+------------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+------------------+-------+
| secure_file_priv | NULL |
+------------------+-------+
I am also trying to use load data local, but then I get the error:
ERROR 3948 (42000): Loading local data is disabled; this must be enabled on both the client and server sides
I tried this, but the error still persists:
SET GLOBAL local_infile=1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'local_infile';
+---------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+-------+
| local_infile | ON |
+---------------+-------+
I am new to using MySQL and am accessing it through Terminal on a mac.
I have read online about modifying the my.cnf file but I don't believe there is one on my mac.
