The command you need is

Alternatively, if you are outside the mysql clined
mysql  filename

how to run a file in MySQL






Hello all,

This is probably really basic for all of you but I have been trying to 
find it in the manual without success... 

My question is if it is possible when you are logged in to MySQL to run a 
file with sql-statements in, instead of sit and execute each statement 
seperatly. 
The file I have is a to clean up my DB and to erase data that I don#t want 
to have, som all rows in the file is normal DELETE-statetments.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Joppe,

Use SOURCE or \. to execute the filename:

mysql SOURCE E:\SQL\MySQL\test_tables.sql
Database changed
++
| Tables_in_test |
++
| a  |
| academies  |
.
