Question

Is there a way to create a batch or a text file to execute .sql ?

Let say :

script location : C:\test.sql
Hostname : host.name
Port : 1000
user : me
password : pw

---

test.sql — >

select * from table1 ;quit;

---

How can I put all these into a .bat so that I can use the window to schedule the job to run in the future

Answer 1

Place this in a .bat called C:\RunSQL.bat

Make sure C:\RunSQL.bat looks like this:

@echo off
mysql -hhostname -P1000 -ume -ppw -AN < C:\test.sql

then just run it

RunSQL.bat

Give it a Try !!!
