          Description

          If I specify file path using '\' (which is usually used on Windows) LOAD_FILE() doesn't find the file, while it works using '/'.

          Create test.sql and issue:

           
SELECT LOAD_FILE('c:\test.sql'), LOAD_FILE('c:/test.sql');

                In MySQL, backslash is used as mask character inside the string : http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/string-literals.html

                If you need a string with backslash, you'd need to duplicate it , e.g C:
                test.sql
