I'm doing all kinds of exercises and tutorials to get up to speed on MySQL
on my PowerBook with OS X.2 running. I just tried an exercise that, for the
first time, had me creating a table not right in the MySQL monitor, but,
rather, via a script that I saved as a textfile--Temp.sql--and then call
the script up from the command line in the MySQL monitor.
Here's the script:
CREATE DATABASE Temp;
USE DATABASE Temp;
CREATE TABLE Test_Table
(Test_ID INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
Test_Name VARCHAR(30),
Test_Date DATETIME,
Test_Giver VARCHAR(30));
INSERT INTO Test_Table
(Test_ID, Test_Name, Test_Date, Test_Giver)
VALUES
(NULL, 'Test','2000-03-02','Etienne');
The line I used to call the script up is:
bin/mysql -p <bin/mysql -p </[the complete pathname, honest]/Temp.sql
I didn't get the expected result, receiving the following message:
ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'bin/mysql -p
</Users/stephent/Sites/Temp.sql' at line 1
Can anyone see what I've done wrong?
Type the command at the shell prompt, not after you've already invoked
mysql. The error message is from mysql itself; it indicates that you
typed a shell command to mysql.
Thank you.
