how to 'load data infile' on amazon RDS?

Question

not sure if this is a question better suited for serverfault but I\'ve been messing with amazon RDS lately and was having trouble getting \'file\' privileges to my web host

Answer 1

For whatever it's worth... You can add the LOCAL operand to the LOAD DATA INFILE instead of using mysqlimport to get around this problem.

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE ...

This will work without granting FILE permissions.
