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

Question

I am using MySQL LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE command and I get this error:

PDOException: SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1148 The          


        

Answer 1

The legacy mysql_connect also has a parameter 'client_flag' that can be used to set the mysql parameter.

The client_flags parameter can be a combination of the following constants: 128 (enable LOAD DATA LOCAL handling), MYSQL_CLIENT_SSL, MYSQL_CLIENT_COMPRESS, MYSQL_CLIENT_IGNORE_SPACE or MYSQL_CLIENT_INTERACTIVE. Read the section about MySQL client constants for further information. In SQL safe mode, this parameter is ignored. http://php.net/function.mysql-connect

Example:

$db = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass, FALSE, 128);

However, you may also encounter the following error:

ERROR 29 (HY000): File '/var/www/.../mysql_import.csv' not found (Errcode: 13)

In which case, you may need to check your App Armor settings to allow MySQL access to the import files on the filesystem.

In particular I added:

  /import/ r,
  /import/* rw,

To give MySQL read/write access to /import

e.g: Sample App Armor profile

cat /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld 

# vim:syntax=apparmor
# Last Modified: Tue Jun 19 17:37:30 2007
#include 

/usr/sbin/mysqld {
  #include 
  #include 
  #include 
  #include 
  #include 

  capability dac_override,
  capability sys_resource,
  capability setgid,
  capability setuid,

  network tcp,

  /etc/hosts.allow r,
  /etc/hosts.deny r,

  /etc/mysql/*.pem r,
  /etc/mysql/conf.d/ r,
  /etc/mysql/conf.d/* r,
  /etc/mysql/*.cnf r,
  /usr/lib/mysql/plugin/ r,
  /usr/lib/mysql/plugin/*.so* mr,
  /usr/sbin/mysqld mr,
  /usr/share/mysql/** r,
  /var/log/mysql.log rw,
  /var/log/mysql.err rw,
  /var/lib/mysql/ r,
  /var/lib/mysql/** rwk,
  /var/log/mysql/ r,
  /var/log/mysql/* rw,
  /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid w,
  /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock w,
  /run/mysqld/mysqld.pid w,
  /run/mysqld/mysqld.sock w,

  # Custom import folders start
  # These folders will also be read/writeable by mysql.
  /import/ r,
  /import/* rw,
  # Custom import folders end

  /sys/devices/system/cpu/ r,

  # Site-specific additions and overrides. See local/README for details.
  #include 
}

After that MySQL could read files from the /import directory.
