    On SQL Server this syntax is not supported.

    On MySQL I don’t think it should give the error you see, but your filename is wrong.

    LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'C:\\Documents and Settings\\vishu.singhvi\\Desktop\\5columns.csv'

    From the documentation:

    Backslash is the MySQL escape character within strings in SQL statements, so to specify a literal backslash, you must specify two backslashes for the value to be interpreted as a single backslash
