Hi, mysql -vvv samp_db < create_member.sql should tell what commands mysql is executing.

I'm trying to execute commands from the shell to create new tables (I'm walking through the new riders book). the book says % mysql samp_db < create_member.sql for me, for whatever reason, mysql will not execute except from its root directory. so I'm doing % ./bin/mysql samp_db < ./var/mysql/create_member.sql (the book also doesn't tell you where to put the executible scripts, so I stuck them in the data directory) can anyone tell me why this isn't working? it seems to execute (no error), but nothing happens. Also, can anyone tell me if there is a way to get the server to tell you a little more about why things don't work? I could use some help debugging, and the log entries are pithy, to say the least. thanks in advance- MT --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
