      If LOCAL is specified, the file is read by the client program on the client host and sent to the server. The file can be given as a full path name to specify its exact location. If given as a relative path name, the name is interpreted relative to the directory in which the client program was started.
    *

      If LOCAL is not specified, the file must be located on the server host and is read directly by the server. The server uses the following rules to locate the file:
          o

            If the file name is an absolute path name, the server uses it as given.
          o

            If the file name is a relative path name with one or more leading components, the server searches for the file relative to the server's data directory.
          o

            If a file name with no leading components is given, the server looks for the file in the database directory of the default database.

забил на это дело, и решил всёже использовать phpMyAdmin
