回答1:

you need to add two slash in path.
Check following query.it's work with me.
use this

INSERT INTO GAME values (3, 'Termonator2',LOAD_FILE("C:\\Users\\Public\\Videos\\Sample Video\\test.mpg"));   

instead of

INSERT INTO GAME  VALUES(3, "Termonator2", 
LOAD_FILE("C:\Users\Public\Videos\Sample Videos"));  

enjoy.....

I would advise you to store the video file in a file directory, and only store the filename in your MySQL database.

This way, you can keep a light database.

回答3:

LOAD_FILE("C:\Users\Public\Videos\Sample Videos") is a DIRECTORY. You forgot the video name and extension.

Should be: LOAD_FILE("C:\Users\Public\Videos\Sample Videos\videoname.avi") for example.

But like everyone pointed out, this is a bad idea. Don't store videos in a database.

回答4:

try

C:\Users\Public\Videos\Sample Videos\filename.ending

instead of

C:\Users\Public\Videos\Sample Videos

回答5:

Just put your videos in the C: directory somewhere. The whole User/Videos thing seems to be hidden. I created a C:/videos directory and placed my videos in it!

回答6:

First of all, I would suggest you to not store the video file in your database, this is a wrong approach.

Store only video file names and through which you can fetch video from a directory.

But your answer is:

INSERT INTO GAME values (3, 'Termonator2',LOAD_FILE("C:\\Users\\Public\\Videos\\Sample Video\\video.mp4"));
