hi. /path/to/mysql means the path to the mysql _executable_... type 'which mysql' to see for sure, but it might be /apache/mysql/bin/mysql.
good luck. -ravi. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Ocean [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: November 26, 2001 2:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: HELP! Hosed Database! But I have a backup, if I just knew how to restore it! The instructions read: #mysqldump --opt database_name > database_name_File.txt To restore database: #cat database_name_File.txt | /path/to/mysql -u username -p database_name So, if my installation is at /apache/mysql and the database is /apache/mysql/lefeber and my backup is /apache/mysql/lefeber.txt then I should be able to issue this command: cat lefeber.txt | /apache/mysql -u MyUserName -pMyPassword lefeber Why does it tell me that /apache/mysql is a directory (duh) and break the pipe?
