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

I use this and it works:

mysql -uroot -proot < infile

or select the database first

./mysql -uroot -proot db_name < infile

or copy the whole SQL into the clipboard and paste it with

pbpaste > temp_infile && mysql -uroot -proot < temp_infile && rm temp_infile
