The manual I was able to download, I now notice, is for version 4.0.3-beta of MySQL. So that's the official tutorial I'm working. That and Kevin Yank's Building a Database-Driven Web Site Using PHP and MySQL--a '10-week course' that I also was able to download.

Problem has surfaced due to my having installed version 3.I-forget-what. But I'm fine with staying away from betas. The problem is I'm up to an exercise for populating a table with data from a textfile. I downloaded the textfile and then ran the command line:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "pet.txt" INTO TABLE pet;

and I was greeted with:

ERROR 1148: The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version

There has to be a way to load data into tables as far back as the ancient 3.__. Could anyone share with me what the correct command/syntax is for pre-version 4?

personally I would download the right documentation for the mysql version you have installed.

why make things hard for yourself by learning the hard way ?
