How exactly are you doing it with phpMyAdmin? Not sure if it would be save to a temp dir, I usually get a save as option.
Sorry I can't see your batch file because Outlook blocked it, since it was a batch file. I'll be checking my email from my Linux machine later, I'll take a look at it then if I can. _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 10:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: host names In a message dated 3/10/04 11:23:42 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I wonder if he means that he wants to pull data from one db into another using a script of some kind. If that is what you mean, why not give phpMyAdmin a try, unless your hosting company already has it. Many do now a days... I've been trying to load data into my local copy of MySQL with both phpMyAdmin and MySQLImport and both are failing. MyPHPAdmin is losing the \ in the file name of the text file which I gather it copied to my temp directory. MySqlImport, just displays the help even though I am using the commands as documented. The batch file attached are the commands that I used to run MySQLImport. Part of what I am going to wind up doing is populating long text fields in the future. I have a program to process the text already written and it would be easy to modify it with the C++ lib to stuff the text into the database. Christopher J. Noyes
