I need to split my sql script into several files.
Logic: master sql file calling several other sql files.
How is this possible with MySQL 5.0.51 + MS Win?
THX!

Hmm, doesn’t it work?

. /path/to/script1
. /path/to/script2
. /path/to/script3

Unfortunatelly not.
Details:
-I have DB with table quals_TBL
-master script “master.sql” should call 2 slave scripts “slave1.sql”, “slave2.sql”
-running master.sql generates error:
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 ‘. /ABC/slave1.sql
. /ABC/slave2.sql’ at line 1
-I have tried also c:\ABC\slave1.sql with the same result

-server: MySQL 5.0.51a-community-nt via TCP/IP
-client: MySQL Client Version 5.1.11
-to manage DB I use MySQL Administrator 1.2.12
-to run master.sql I use MySQL Query Browser 1.2.12

File c:\ABC\master.sql:
. /ABC/slave1.sql
. /ABC/slave2.sql

File c:\ABC\slave1.sql:
INSERT INTO quals_TBL (contacts_id_INT, qualTypes_id_INT, number_STR, valid_DT)
VALUES (2,2,‘hello’,‘1.1.2008’);

File c:\ABC\slave2.sql:
INSERT INTO quals_TBL (contacts_id_INT, qualTypes_id_INT, number_STR, valid_DT)
VALUES (4,4,‘hello’,‘1.1.2008’);
