One of the lesser known (and used) MySQL Client API calls seems
to be mysql_set_local_infile_handler()
which allows to override the default LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE behavior on
the client side, allowing to import data in text form, e.g. in
CSV format, from other sources than actual local files. I

but couldn't really find any, so this post is going to try to
close this gap.
