Command line access?

[powerpets]

Getting there….

the -> was coming because I forgot the ; at the end…

Haven't used a non-gui interface in a long time…

Anyway, here's what I did:

I created a upd_highscore.scr file that contains the delete and insert commands :

delete from highscore where hi_gameID=16;

insert into highscore (hi_gameID, hi_UID, hi_Uname, hi_score)

select ga_gameID, ga_UID, ga_UName, ga_score FROM gamerecord WHERE ga_gameID=16 ORDER BY ga_score desc limit 0,20;

Saved it, and am trying to run the file by using:

D:>mySQL powergame -e “upd_highscore.scr”

When I do that, I receive :

ERROR 1064 at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'upd_highscore.scr' at line 1

yet when I run the commands individually, they run fine??

Any help is appreciated 🙂

also, when I do the following:

d:> mySQL powergame

mySQL> source upd_highscore.scr

it runs fine…

Changed upd_highscore.scr file to include:

connect powergame;

on first line

Using:

d:>mysql -e upd_highscore.scr

same result.

Never mind, it's working

Just a simple

mySQL < upd_highscore.scr dropped that in a bat file and added to the scheduler…
