I would like to load a data file into MySQL using the following command:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/Users/David/Desktop/popularity20110511/test_data' INTO TABLE test_table
The above command gives me the following error:
#7890 - Can't find file '/Users/David/Desktop/popularity20110511/test_data'.
I've also tried:
LOAD DATA INFILE '/Users/David/Desktop/popularity20110511/test_data' INTO TABLE test_table
I also gives me an error:
#13 - Can't get stat of '/Users/David/Desktop/popularity20110511/test_data' (Errcode: 13)
I've repeatedly checked the file path and name and I've also made sure the file privilege is set to Read & Write for everyone.
I am using a Mac and phpMyAdmin.
Any suggestions on what the problem may be?
I had the same problem using MacOs and tried to change permissions, etc, but I realized you have to use the same directory structure you have using in the Terminal Application. Example: if you have (localhost/myproject/myfile.csv) try using
(Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/myproject/myfile.csv).
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/myproject/myfile.csv'
INTO TABLE `mytable`
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r';
I'm not too sure what the problem is but I made it work by moving the file to /tmp/test_data and used LOAD DATA INFILE...
I have had the same issue, trying to import an SQL file that uses LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE... to import a CSV file in phpMyAdmin and got the same error message:
#7890 - Can't find file 'myfile.csv'
The solution I found was to put the file in the same folder as phpMyAdmin.
I was having the same problem
'C:/Program Files/DatabaseTableHolders/Menu.csv'
7890 - Can't find file '
The first thing I did was move the files to the "Program File" directory
It still wouldn't work
Then I changed the path address from
'C:/Program Files/DatabaseTableHolders/Menu.csv'
to
'C:\Program Files\DatabaseTableHolders\Menu.csv'
THIS WORKS!!!
For me its something to do with the path structure.
By the way I'm using Eclipse and phpMyAdmin on WAMP (windows operating system). I hope this helps.
Yes, I meet the same error.
My situation:
XAMPP + MAC OS 10.9
load data local infile '/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/jsonSQL.txt' into table `ttlegs` fields terminated by ',' lines terminated by '\n'
and this works when I put jsonSQL.txt to htdocs.
It is best if you put that text file in 'xammp /phpMyAdmin ' directory ( I assume you work on xammp) That's it. then LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE will work. Happy Coding

Load data infile has always been a pain in the ass to set up and there does not seem to be standard way to get it to work but I have always been able to get it to work ….eventually except now.
I am struggling with
Error Code: 29. File '/loadinfile/file.csv' not found (OS errno 13 - Permission denied)
The system is as follows:
MySQL version 8.0.29-0ubuntu0.22.04.2
Ubuntu 22.04
The load file directory is owned by mysql:mysql and same with the file and I have tried chmod 757 and even 777
In the config file I have tried the following variations:
secure_file_priv = "/loadinfile/"
secure_file_priv = '/loadinfile/'
secure_file_priv = ""
secure_file_priv = ''
The following is also set :
[mysqld]
local-infile = 1
[client]
loose-local-infile=1
Changing
LOAD DATA INFILE '/loadinfile/file.csv' INTO TABLE table
to
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/loadinfile/file.csv' INTO TABLE table
changes the error message to:
Error Code: 2. File '\loadinfile\file.csv' not found (OS errno 2 - No such file or directory)
Error Code: 2. File '\loadinfile\file.csv' not found (OS errno 2 - No such file or directory)
Above message indicates that your directory where the file is located is wrong! You must define the full path:
For example In Mac If your file resides on Desktop,It must be like this :
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/Users/computer_name/Desktop/filename.file_extension' INTO TABLE table
In windows
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'C:\Users\computer_name\Desktop\filename.file_extension' INTO TABLE table
I hope It solves your problem.
Error Code: 2. indicates invalid file path. Keep the LOCAL INFILE option and either specify the full path of the CSV file or make sure the CSV file path is correct. give it a try with Full path and see if it solves the problem or not.
From MySQL Docs
If LOCAL is specified, the file must be located on the client host.
The client program reads the file, locating it as follows:
If the file name is an absolute path name, the client program uses it
as given.
If the file name is a relative path name, the client program looks for
the file relative to its invocation directory
Edited
Make sure your mysqld.cnf or your main MySQL config file has the following variables
secure_file_priv = ""
local_infile=1
And your Global variable local_infile is OFF, turn it ON.
you can check that if you run this query
SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'local_infile';
if it is OFF, turn it ON
And lastly, Make sure you restart your SQL service to reflect the changes. you can do that if you execute
service mysql restart
Hope that solves your problem
I am working on a mysql (8) db which is too big for the 2TB linux partition size so I have moved the mysql instance onto a 16TB nvme raid under windows 10. All my other code is running on Debian 10 on a virtualbox instance and I have mapped a perm drive between the Debian VM and the nvme raid array.
I can open the database from debian and read and write as normal, so the odbc connector is working fine.
The issue here is the fact I am loading very large json log files into one table and doing it a row at a time was taking hours, so I opted to create a csv file for each log file and use LOAD DATA INFILE as part of the SQL statement.
Trouble is, when I execute the sql statement I get the 'file not found' issue, even though, looking at debug code, the file path is correct and it actually exists.
An excert from my python 3 code is:
p = f"/media/sf_unpack/{filename}"
try:
with open(p, 'r', buffering=1024 * 1024) as csvfile:
print(csvfile.read())
SQL = f"LOAD DATA INFILE '{p}' INTO TABLE xxx fields terminated by ',' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' (field,field,.....etc) ;"
try:
mycursor.execute(SQL)
connection_object.commit()
except Exception as ex:
displayerror(ex)
This code will open the file correctly and show a value for p of /media/sf_unpack/filename.csv (which is correct).
When we get to the mycusror.execute(SQL) is raises an exception and says the directory or filename cannot be found. Interestingly, and I am sure this is the issue, the dubugger tells me the file that cannot be found is a windows version D:\media/sf_unpack/filename.csv - which looks as if it has something to do with the virtualbox mapping.
i.e. p =
I have tried to use the Path method from pathlib i.e p = Path(f"D:\mysql\unpack\{filename}" but that makes no difference.
I know I am doing something stupid but I am not sure what it is.
Any help would be gratefully recieved
I have tried many different possible solutions to resolve this issue but none seem to be fixing it for me.
I've tried solutions from other articles on here but none seem to be working
I am running MySQL 8.0 (LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE is not supported in this version)
Im trying to load data from a csv file into my tables by means of LOAD DATA INFILE. When I run the script, I receive this error:
Error Code: 1290. The MySQL server is running with the
--secure-file-priv option so it cannot execute this statement
My code:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'customer.csv'
INTO TABLE customer
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 ROWS;
I have tried the following
In the '' put the full directory of the file in different formats, including trying both / and \
Remove the Secure-File-Priv from the config file
Changed the directory to the folder on my Desktop
Left the directory empty (Secure-File-Priv = "" {Also tried removing the ""})
I checked the directory by running the query and it says it is where I have it set to on my Desktop
Is there anything else that I could try to load data into my tables or to get the Secure File Priv block removed?
Update
This is the code with the error when the secure-file-priv is left empty:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'C:/users/user/desktop/college/advanced db/uploads/customer.csv'
INTO TABLE customer
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 ROWS;
Error Code: 29. File 'C:\users\carl\desktop\college\advanced
db\uploads\customer.csv' not found (OS errno 13 - Permission denied)
Assuming that you are using Windows 7 or more:
Search "services" in the windows research table (left-down of the screen)
Search the Mysql service in the table and shut down it
Open the my.ini file (i assume "C:\ProgramData\MySQL\my.ini")
Search for Secure-File-Priv and assign "".
Restart the process via "services" or Mysql workbench
Put the .csv file into the directory of the database where exists the table (in this case "customer"), this is the possible path: C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\Data\.
Execute the query
When i try to source an sql file i get the error:
mysql> source C:/Users/tom/Documents/insert.sql
ERROR:
Failed to open file 'C:/Users/tom/Documents/insert.sql', error: 2
I have checked the file path, which looks fine to me. I have also tried \. C:/Users/etc
I am trying to source the sql file which holds insert statements for particular tables. All the statements in the file work when entered manually. What else could i be doing wrong?
Have tried using both backslash and forward slash when using this command
Probably a problem of access right on the file (the file is being accessed by the mysqld server process, not yourself). Try placing the file into the data folder of MySQL, then import it from this location. The location of data folder depends on your distribution and on your own configuration.
Alternatively, feed the SQL script directly to your mysql client's stdin:
mysql [all relevant options] your_database < C:\path\to\your\script.sql
I am using Ubuntu 14.04 version.
I too faced below error 2.
mysql> SOURCE home/loc/Downloads/AllTables.sql;
Failed to open file 'home/loc/Downloads/AllTables.sql', error: 2
Solution :
mysql> SOURCE /home/loc/Downloads/AllTables.sql;
Just added a '/' in front of home
Hope this helps some one.
Have you checked if the file exits? I have had this problem before.

I am using MySQL database on a Ubuntu machine, and running the following SQL statement:
SELECT id,name FROM cars
INTO OUTFILE 'my_cars.dat'
LOAD DATA INFILE 'my_cars.dat' INTO TABLE all_cars(id, name);
It works. But how can I also specify the path to where the my_cars.dat file is put??
I mean , for example, I want the my_cars.dat file to be put under /data/temp , how can I specify this??
I tried to use ... INTO OUTFILE '/data/temp/my_cars.dat' ... but it does not work...
I got error :
ERROR 1 (HY000): Can't create/write to file '/data/temp/my_cars.dat' (Errcode: 13)
What user are you running mysql as? Does it have write permissions to /data/temp?
A couple potential reasons:
(and I suspect it's this) The outfile is written by the client, so it can only write to where you have write privileges. Assuming /data/temp exists (see #2), it is most likely owned by mysql:mysql or root:root, and privs 700.
MySQL's default location (in Ubuntu, at least) is /var/lib/mysql, so make sure that /data/temp exists.
