Bash script to insert values in MySQL

Question

I want to make a bash script that connects to my MySQL server and inserts some valuse from a txt file. I have written this down:

#!/bin/bash
echo \"INSERT I         


        

Answer 1

Try this one:

#!/bin/bash
inputfile="test.txt"
cat $inputfile | while read ip mac server; do
    echo "INSERT INTO test (IP,MAC,SERVER) VALUES ('$ip', '$mac', '$server');"
done | mysql -uroot -ptest test;

This way you streaming the file read as well the mysql comand execution.
