Creating A .bat File To Execute Mysql And Other Commands
Answer :
You can run mysql in batch mode, as noted in the documentation.
mysql -h host -u user -p < batch-file
Basically you use a file containing all of your commands as an input parameter - mysql will execute the contents of that file.
Edit: If you want to build your query on the fly, you can always have your batch file write out a query to a temporary file that you can then load for execution by mysql. For example:
echo show tables from test > C:\path\to\file.sql
mysql -h host -u user -p < C:\path\to\file.sql
Run mysql
with -e option:
mysql -h host -u user -p -e 'SHOW TABLES FROM test'
Perhaps you may want to try a small trick that emerged from other question in this forum (that was deleted unfortunately).
You may insert the input for a command directly in the lines below the command and then execute the file NOT as Batch file, but as input por cmd.exe (this is similar to a here document in Unix). For example:
script.TXT:
@echo off
mysql -u user -p
*enter in the password*
USE databasename
SELCT * FROM table;
EXIT
echo Exit from MYSQL...
Execute previous "script" this way:
cmd < script.TXT
If you perform this test, please report the result...
