Re: I NEED HELP ON 'SOURCE(\.) MYSQL
How did you type the source command? Did you remember not to quote the file name? E.g. mysql SOURCE schema.sql is the correct way.

I appreciate your help Kebede Teferi mysql looks in the current directory for the source file. That the directory where you ran the mysql client from. The quickest fix is to give the complete path to the file, e.g. source /home/me/mysourcefile.sql (You say yoiu changed your current directory to mysql but didn't give us the complete path. There are multiple mysql directories in most configurations.) --John -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
Re: I NEED HELP ON 'SOURCE(\.) MYSQL
Error 2 is No such file or directory So, probably the file is not in the right path or you need to explicitly provide the path to the file.

Re: I NEED HELP ON 'SOURCE(\.) MYSQL
