Just one suggestion re the behavior of special characters between file
input and command line input. Try using char(10) {I think that is new
line} instead of \n. That should work in both scenerios.-----Original Message----- From: John Kebbel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2007 7:19 AM To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: Giving Back...Well, Maybe I don't have enough MySQL knowledge to contribute much to this mailing list, but as a 23 year veteran teacher, I have some expertise when it comes to developing methods of instruction (especially self-instruction). While studying for the MySQl CMDEV exam, I created a method for MySQL skill-building that may help others trying to master MySQL systematically. I had been building my expertise with queries by redirecting commands from a text file into MySQL. When I discovered MySQL comments through this mailing list, I realized I could store my learning by putting an active command I was testing at the top line of my text document, and my previously tested commands below them inside a commented out area. This morning I went a step further when I realized I could embed XHTML coding inside MySQL comments and have a dual-purpose page, a page that (1) lets me test queries by redirecting them to MySQL on my local computer, and then (2) stores the tested queries inside commented-out areas in a format I can post on the web. The web page format allows me to review what I've done and lets me continue my research at home or work by downloading, testing and expanding, then uploading my new research. I hope someone finds the concept useful. What I've accomplished so far is at http://scripting-solutions.com/certifications/mysql/dothis.html Thanks to everyone who has been of help to me here now and in the future. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
