Uh, sorry. Apparently you didn't even *try* to use the instructions given, so I will just repeat them below. If you try them and they don't work, then please indicate what happened. Note that you *don't* have to connect to mysql first.

Hello,
I'm using Win98 OS and MySQL 3.23.39-max. Now, I'm trying to load data from the DOS Prompt into a new database (samp_db):
samp_db < create_president.sql
and it returns ERROR 1064: you have an error in your sql syntax near 'samp_db < create_president.sql' at line 1
Any ideas will be highly appreciated.
You're running this from within mysql. Run this command from the DOS prompt:
C:\> mysql samp_db < create_president.sql
Or else run this command:
C:\> mysql samp_db
and then within mysql use this command:
mysql> SOURCE create_president.sql;
