From within the MySQL client (v. 3.23.9 and above): mysql SOURCE filename Is there really a SOURCE command? An explanation why you did not simply try it, would be nice. Maybe that would have helped to get an early answer. Where is it in the official manual? This is part of the command line client, the belonging manual section is http://www.mysql.com/doc/m/y/mysql.html Also, if you have mysql set @var = xyz; mysql SOURCE filename can @var be used in filename? I am not certain about what you mean, but I presume you mean whether a command within the file may make use of @var? If so, the answer is yes. SOURCE runs the commands in 'filesname' just as if you had typed them by hand. It should be the same as if you would copypaste the commands from an editor to the client.

This is part of the command line client, the belonging manual section is http://www.mysql.com/doc/m/y/mysql.html The point is, you can't find it in the manual. It's not in the command index and I wasn't able to find it when I searched. - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

SOURCE command somewhere in manual?
Is there really a SOURCE command? Where is it in the official manual? source is a command available within the mysql client only. It is not a SQL command. The client can also get external batch files by piping the commands, in Unix style. Once you have your file of SQL instructions (say lines.sql) you can call the client $ mysql -u username -p lines.sql mysql set @var = xyz; mysql SOURCE filename can @var be used in filename? Yes, it can. Variables are valid within the same thread. $ echo select @var; hhh.sql $ mysql -p -u xyz mysql select @var:=curdate(); +-+ | @var:=curdate() | +-+ | 2001-11-20 | +-+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql source hhh.sql ++ | @var | ++ | 2001-11-20 | ++ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql select @var:=AAA; +-+ | @var:=AAA | +-+ | AAA | +-+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql source hhh.sql +--+ | @var | +--+ | AAA | +--+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Bye Giuseppe - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?
