I searched the archive found the issue but not the answer. Configuration: I'm running win2000, mysql is loaded and I can manually create databases and tables per "MySQL" manual (via Amazon). I've loaded samp_db in sub directory of mysql.
Problem: mysql> samp_db < create_president.sql; Result: ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'samp_db < create_president' at line 1 Why? Thanks, Gene
