Running scripts batch

[sebes]

One more for today:

I use phpMyAdmin to administer my database. I have 60 scripts to create 60 tables and there will be other scripts.
Is it possible to run the scripts all at once in a batch ?

If this is not possible with phpMyAdmin, what's the alternative ?

Thanks.

Hi

I would definitely use [tt]mysql[/tt], the MySQL command-line tool :

[blue]master #[/blue] mysql mydatabasename < script.sql

[gray]# or[/gray]

[blue]master #[/blue] cat *.sql | mysql mydatabasename

Of course, supposing you have local or TCP access to the database.

And as I recall, you can upload the scripts via phpMyAdmin though you might hit a size limit or timeout.

I now have MySQL Workbench, where I understand that I can run batches of scripts comming from many files.

However I don't understand where in MySQLWorkbench oy phpMyAdmin I can do this.

Thanks.

I'll try to make this more clear.

I use SQL scripts as a model. This is a sample of createall.sql run on SQL Server. It calls all script files that are included.

So I'm looking for something similar in MySQL:
1. Is this possible ?
2. What's the syntax for "including" a file ?
3. How do I run it ?

SQL Server script used as a model:

==========================================
create database EMPL
exec sp_dbcmptlevel 'EMPL', 80
go

alter database EMPL collate latin1_general_ci_ai
go

use EMPL; /* In case already exists */

#include UDF.SQL

#include CreateTable1.SQL
#include CreateTable2.SQL
#include CreateTable3.SQL
...
...
#include CreateTable60.SQL

commit work
===============================

Thanks.

Still not clear how to run a scipt similar to the SQl server script in my previous post.

Thanks.

Hi

In case you use [tt]mysql[/tt], the MySQL command-line tool, there would be some alternatives :
[ul]
[li]for [tt]use[/tt] : [tt]connect[/tt] or [tt]\r[/tt][/li]
[li]for [tt]#include[/tt] : [tt]source[/tt] or [tt]\.[/tt][/li]
[/ul]
No idea what [tt]exec[/tt] and [tt]go[/tt] does, so no suggestion on those. See [tt]help[/tt] or [tt]\h[/tt] for the list of available commands.

Regarding [tt]commit[/tt], if that is the usual transaction finalization, then note that MySQL only supports transactions on tables handled by the InnoDB storage engine.

I use a separate php or python script to do the includes. See:

Hope this helps.

I tried source but no luck.

My createall.sql file looks like this:

source CreateTable1.SQL;
source CreateTable2.SQL;
source CreateTable3.SQL

Hi

I tried source but no luck.

Any error message ?

And how are you executing createall.sql ?

Error message:

SQL query:

source / zoo62 / mysql / scripts / createaccid.sql;

MySQL said:

#1064 - 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 'source /zoo62/mysql/scripts/createaccid.sql' at line 1

Hi

source /[highlight] [/highlight]zoo62[highlight] [/highlight]/[highlight] [/highlight]mysql[highlight] [/highlight]/[highlight] [/highlight]scripts[highlight] [/highlight]/[highlight] [/highlight]createaccid.sql;

Quite hard to understand what are you doing there :
[ul]
[li]There was no createaccid.sql involved previously. What is its content ? How it gets executed ?[/li]
[li]What are those spaces doing in the command and why none appears in the error message ?[/li]
[/ul]

Createaccid.sql creates the table accid(I used table1, table2...before as an example). This is the contents:

(All other 50 tables are created in a similar way. I want all these to be run from one place which calls each file.)

Hi

That still not answers my questions. ( Well, maybe my questions are not as clear as I imagine... )

I try again with another example. Here I use 4 SQL script files : the 1^st sources the 2^nd and the 4^th, the 2^nd sources the 3^rd. All these executed from the command prompt :

[blue]master #[/blue] cat doit.sql 
source create.sql

source select.sql

[blue]master #[/blue] cat create.sql 
create table sebes (
  id integer primary key auto_increment,
  value varchar(10)
);

source insert.sql

[blue]master #[/blue] cat insert.sql 
insert into sebes (value) values ('one');
insert into sebes (value) values ('two');
insert into sebes (value) values ('three');

[blue]master #[/blue] cat select.sql 
select * from sebes;

[blue]master #[/blue] mysql -Dtest < doit.sql 
id      value
1       one
2       two
3       three

Sorry amigo, I appreciate your effort but as a beginner I don't understand what "master # cat doit.sql" means or where it should be run.

I suppose these should be done from the MySQL server somewhere, I mean where MySQL is installed.

Is this correct ?

Hi

as a beginner I don't understand what "master # cat doit.sql" means or where it should be run.

Ah, sorry. I supposed it was enough mentioning at the very beginning that I am talking about "[tt]mysql[/tt], the MySQL command-line tool". The absence of related questions made me think my supposition was correct.

[tt]mysql[/tt] — The MySQL Command-Line Tool is a simple client application, capable both to run interactively and to execute scripts. It is similar to [tt]psql[/tt] of PostgreSQL, [tt]sqlplus[/tt] of Oracle and [tt]sqlite[/tt] of SQLite.

The line you quoted is just a line from the shell ( on Windows is [tt]cmd.exe[/tt] ) meaning :
[tt]
[blue]master #[/blue] cat doit.sql
[gray]\______/ \_/ \______/
| | `-- file to display
| `-------- Unix command to display a file's content ( on Windows there is type )
`-------------- prompt of the command interpreter ( on Windows it is like C:\> )[/gray]
[/tt]
I just used that to show what were used later by the [tt]mysql[/tt] command.

I suppose these should be done from the MySQL server somewhere, I mean where MySQL is installed.

My example indeed used a locally installed MySQL server, but that is not a requirement. You can specify where the MySQL server runs by using additional parameters :

mysql -D[i]database_name[/i] -h[i]host_name_or_ip_address[/i] -P[i]tcp_port_number[/i] -u[i]database_user_name[/i] -p[i]password[/i]

When those parameters are not specified, their default values are used : localhost for host name, 3306 for TCP port, operating system user name for user name and nothing for password.

How do I install MySQL Command Line tool on my locan computer ?

 

[feherke]

Hi
[ul]
[li]Download the only MySQL Installer.[/li]
[li]Start the installer.[/li]
[li]When the installer offers the possibility to choose Custom, pick that.[/li]
[li]From the component list deselect the server and keep selected only the client. This will require some libraries too, let them selected.[/li]
[li]Finalize the installation.[/li]
[/ul]
As far as I remember, only the server needs additional configuration, the client should be usable immediately.

[gray]( Do not shoot me if I was wrong. I installed MySQL on Windows ~5 years ago. )[/gray]
