MySQL Connector/ODBC Release Notes
A new ENABLE_LOCAL_INFILE connection option was added to the connection string, DSN, and GUI. Disabled by default, set ENABLE_LOCAL_INFILE=1 to enable LOAD DATA operations. This toggles the MYSQL_OPT_LOCAL_INFILE mysql_options() option.
The connection string overrides the DSN value if both are set.
MySQL Connector/ODBC is now compatible with MSVC 2017, while retaining compatibility with MSVC 2015:
