Bonjour,
Today, when we do a "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE ..." the table in which
the data are loaded is locked while the data are transferred between
the client and the server.
This is really bad for Mysql performances especially when the client
is far away from the server (with slow connection) !
A good improvement would be to buffer the data on the server while
receiving from the client and to lock/load the data only when all
the data have been transferred.
The buffer could be in memory or in a temporary file and the could
be an option which would limit the size of this buffer.
I think this would really be an improvement. Monty already took care
of my previous request when I ask not to lock table while sending a
query result to a client (the SQL_BUFFER_RESULT option was then
added) and I think this new request is of interest too.
Regards,
Alex.
