Thanks for pointing out the syntax error. I added the space after the -u but it did not make any difference. It still gives the same result, that is "Success", when it actually fails. What I am trying to figure out is how I can tell if it failed (did not create the tables)? The $status variable does not appear to hold the output of the system() function. Anyone know how to get the output of system, passthru or exec into the $status variable to check for success or failure?
