Hi,
I am new to MySQL. I want to create a script file which will include a
number of commands and execute it, just like we do in Oracle. Can any
one tell me how to do it?
Suppose I want to create a script called "temp" that will contain say 4
create statement. I want someone to show me how to create that file and
execute it. And how to capture the output in a separate file like we do
in Oracle. And what should be the extension of the souce file.
Thanks.

The MySQL software comes with a utility that serves as both an
interactive shell (analogous to Oracle's SQL*Plus) and a tool to run
scripts containing SQL commands.
Read this documentation page and its sub-pages:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysql.html
Specifically, executing SQL script files is documented here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/...-commands.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/batch-mode.html

create statement. I want someone to show me how to create that file and

You can capture output just like any other command at the shell level,
with the ">" output redirection feature.
You can also use the "tee" command in your script to specify the output
file.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/...-commands.html
You can also use the --tee='filename' option to the mysql command.
Options are documented here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/...d-options.html
Create the file with a text editor. Alternately, create the file by
capturing the output of MySQL's "mysqldump" command-line tool, which
serves as a database backup utility. The output of mysqldump is a SQL
script that contains the CREATE and INSERT commands necessary to
recreate a database. You can run this script with the 'mysql' utility
as described above.
And what should be the extension of the souce file.
The extension is not important. My habit is to use ".sql", but the
mysql client utility doesn't require any specific extension on the file.

Hi,
I am running Debian 3.0r1 with Apache 1.3.27, MySQL 3.23.49 and PHP
4.3.3RC3.
I installed Apache and MySQL when I originally installed Debian and these
work fine. I recently wanted to run some PHP scripts on my web server that
talked to a MySQL database. I installed php4 and php4-mysql using apt-get.
Unfortunatly I can't get the scripts to work. I keep getting the following

Hi there,
I have a few MySQL scripts that I need to run in SQL Server. However the
syntax is just slightly different and I was wondering if there is a tool out
there that can quickly convert these scripts so that they will work with SQL
Server?
Anyone have any ideas (other than manually converting them)?
Thanks,

I use this code:
