Hi, I learning MariaDB and his security issues.
What is the purpose of "load data local" (local_infile)? In which cases I need this option and when can I disable it.
Its only use for export and import information between text file and table?
Thanks

"What is the purpose of "load data local" (local_infile)?"
Translate as "load a bunch of SQL statements for execution".
"In which cases I need this option and when can I disable it."
Disable it until you need it (look into session versus global variables, althought I think it;'s global anyway, but it'll help your understanding).
