Wouldn't it be better to educate your users, then? :-) Much less trouble for you. Either that, or just do the windows thing: print a progress bar that goes to 95% in ten seconds, then run the entire restore and then progress the remaining 5% :-p You could probably write a sed script that intersperses the INSERT INTO lines with some form of progress printing. I remain convinced that users simply need to learn patience, though. -- Bier met grenadyn Is als mosterd by den wyn Sy die't drinkt, is eene kwezel Hy die't drinkt, is ras een ezel -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
