title: How can I correct MySQL Load Error
body: <p>I'm not quite sure a similar question to this was closed by I'm trying to execute the following MySQL program. </p>
  
  <pre><code>mysql -e "load data local infile \
  '/tmp/ept_inventory_wasp_export_04292013.csv' into \
  table wasp_ept_inv fields terminated by ',' \
  lines terminated by '\n' ;"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>at the bash command line and get this error</p>
  
  <p><code>ERROR 1148 (42000) at line 1: The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version</code></p>
  
  <p>How can I work around this problem? </p>
  
  <p>I am actually running this command from a Python program, but pulled the command out to try fiddling with it at the bash command line.</p>
  
  <p>I've seen how I can modify my.cnf (local-infile), but I do not want that global a change if I can avoid it.</p>
  
  <p>Here's the MySQL version.</p>
  
  <p><code>mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.31, for debian-linux-gnu (i686) using readline 6.2</code></p>
