You can't do it.. The only way i could suggest , actually kind of workaround is, set the pager to the command you would like to execute. Say you wanna see the output of command ls, then do mysql>pager ls;
and then just execute a query, it will print the output on the screen. Then just do mysql>nopager; to set it back to stdout. Hope this helps Gurhan On Thu, 2002-09-05 at 22:48, Daniel Lim wrote: > > Hi, > Within mysql how do I call a UNIX command, e.g to list a UNIX > firectory/files. > > Much thanks. > Daniel > > > > > This e-mail message (and attachments) is confidential, and / or privileged and is >intended for the use of the addressee only.
