Hello, If it is a dump you can pipe it into mysql. If you have a csv like file you can import it with LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE like things. An example below:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS EnsgDescriptions; CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS EnsgDescriptions (stable_id VARCHAR(128) PRIMARY KEY, description VARCHAR(128)); LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'imports/ensgdescriptions.csv' INTO TABLE EnsgDescriptions; Wkr (don't write this in your script :-), -- Dr. Werner Van Belle http://werner.sigtrans.org/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
