I'm a newbie trying to follow a tutorial. The tutorial says to type: mysql employees <employee.dat
I already am at my mysql prompt in Terminal. I have employees as the open database. I have employee_data as an existing table with 1 manually entered record. I have employee.dat as a text file with lines such as: INSERT INTO employee_data (f_name, l_name, title, age, yos, salary, perks, email) values ("Mary", "Anchor", "Web Designer", 26, 2, 85000, 15000, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"); I see an 'employees' locked folder in /Library/MySQL/var/ Where should this text file be placed such that the command will work and import the records as the tutorial is trying to get me to do? -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Robert Ameeti The church is near but the road is icy; the bar is far away but I'll walk carefully. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
