Entering datas from text file

Hi There,

I done a little bit of sql a while back and now I need to start up again.

I have got to grip with most of the commands again and managed to create
tables etc.

One thing I can't remember how to do or find on the web is how to read from
a text file.

I have a text file with a load of sql command in it and data to populate my
tables etc but I thought there was a command which basically says run this
file.

something like open "myfile.sql "

Any ides.

Thanks in advance

If you have line "use databasename;" in your file, you don't need the
databasename in the command below.

c:\mysql\bin\my sql -u root databasename < myfile.sql

That assumes that you have mysql installed in given folder. Change paths
for the MySQL or your file if requruired. If you want to use another
user, change the name root. If you are using a password add -p parameter
and MySQL will ask a password.
