As mentioned in the MySQL Documentation here https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/load-data.html ,
The
LOAD DATAstatement reads rows from a text file into a table at a very high speed. The file can be read from the server host or the client host, depending on whether theLOCALmodifier is given.LOCALalso affects data interpretation and error handling.
Lets Run a Quick Test !
