Hi Oswaldo..
You have the parameter inside the sql file , not in the script itself.
Try this:
#!/bin/bash
QUERY="load data infile '/home/loader/txt/file_${date_proc}.txt into table
debits
fields terminated by ';'"
mysql -u user -ppass -D dbname -e "$QUERY"

Subject: Parameter passing on shell script
Hi List
I'm new to MySQL and I need help on how to pass shell parameter to a mysql
script file (bash/SuSE 7.2)
I have one file called run_db_load and I called it from the command line as
# date_proc=25032002
# export date_proc
# ./run_db_load $date_proc
Inside the run_db_load file I have:
mysql -u user -ppass dbname < file_to_load.sql
Inside the file_to_load.sql I need to capture the $date_proc variable, so
its content is:
load data infile '/home/loader/txt/file_${date_proc}.txt into table debits
fields terminated by ';'
The problem is that the ${date_proc} doesn't get substituted and MySQL give
an error.
Any help will be very appreciated
Thanks in advance
Oswaldo Castro
