secure-file-priv in MySQL Explained!

In this sql tutorial we'll walk you through a MySQL tutorial on a MySQL variable: secure-file-priv mysql. The secure-file-priv or secure_file_priv variable is used to put a restraint on the directories that can be used to load data into a MySQL database instance.
For many, this variable is a source of errors, the most frequent one being as follows:
ERROR 1290 (HY000): The MySQL server is running with the --secure-file-priv option so it cannot execute this statement.

secure-file-priv multiple directories are not a thing, but you can set a different directory from where your data will be loaded in once LOAD DATA INFILE queries would be running.

The secure_file_priv variable is heavily associated with bulk importing of data inside of InnoDB-based database instances in any sql project. SQL basics or SQL for beginners, unfortunately, don't cover this variable, but a sql full course might.

Want us to make a SQL tutorial or a SQL course on SQL injection or other security, performance or availability topics like database design, etc.? Perhaps we should explore SQL for beginners?

MySQL Workbench doesn't recognize secure_file_priv as a variable, and when I try to move my csv to the secure_file_priv location, I still cannot load the data.
