Batch file to connect mysql and run commands

Question

I want to run a batch file from windows, which connect to mysql server on different machine, and run a procedure from database or run a sql file which is sitting in my local mac

Answer 1

if your MySQL Server (mysqld) is running on the same host as your MySQL client application (mysql), your command

mysql --user=XXX --password=XXXX --database=XXX < XXX.sql

works.

If your server is on another host (as in your case), you have to add the hostname:

mysql --host=IP.ADDR.HERE --port=3306 --user=XXX --password=XXXX --database=XXX < XXX.sql

The XXX.sql file is on the same host as your MySQL Client.

Offcourse your server has to accept connections from other hosts (bind-address defined, no skip-networking, and the correct user@host privileges defined) so check your server configuration.
