According to https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_local_infile this variable has GLOBAL scope (and I don-t think mariaDB has changed anything here. The  SESSION-scope value is always inherited from the GLOBAL setting.

'local-infile' is also considered a security setting and as such it makes sense IMO that a user cannot change for his SESSION as she likes.

Also I get this (on Windows)

C:\Program Files\MariaDB 10.2\bin>mysql -u root -p local-infile=1

Enter password: ********

ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown database 'local-infile=1'

Is it possible to specify a server variable on the commandline at all? I don't think so. At least I never heard about it.

HI All,

Even after enabling --local-infile=1 at mysql user login, I couldn't load the file locally. 

mysql -u root --local-infile=1

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE

ERROR 1148 (42000): The used command is not allowed with this MariaDB version

show variables like '%local%';

+---------------+-------+

| Variable_name | Value |

+---------------+-------+

| local_infile  | OFF   |

+---------------+-------+

Even though i enable --local-infile=1, the local-infile still shows OFF. 

Pleaselet know how can I fix this.
