how do i create a mysql database from a "script"

2 New Member
I'm a newby here as well as to mysql and coldfusion.

I'm a business owner who had previously designed my own relational database system for my company (smartware) and used it sucessfully for many years. I have recently paid for a new web based system and decided to go with a programmer that built a coldfusion mx/mysql system.

There are a number of features and procedures that are not working correctly and my programmer is telling me that I'll have to pay him more to fix these items (I'm pretty upset at this point).

He just provided me with the coldfusion source code/files as well as "code" for the db. What he gave me for the db was a single file (an .SQL file). It appears to be a single "script" creating and enetring data into the tables for the db.

How can I take this file and actually "create" my database... once I have this it seems fairly easy to connect with coldfusion so that I can start some debugging on my own.

Please help... Thanks

Ok, stupid question for the day. I'm reading the interview with Steve Moret and he says: "Once a lot of scripts started going in we knew there was no way we could back out of using Python." I'm just getting into Python and am wondering if I'm missing something or this is just a semantic issue. Thanks. -Ted

Hi, "Snif" is an excellent little script to index files and directories. It's just one single file, and the advantage is that you merely drop it into the directory you want to index, point a browser to the script and you're done. But to me, the simplicity is a DISadvantage since I need to index directories that are located down in the site hierarcy, and to which the users won't have direct access.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
