Error when running Mysql batch file
I have a .sql file on my computer at C:\Users\Owner\Documents\file.sql (Windows Vista) that just creates a database and a simple table within. In mysql at the command line i enter source C:\Users\Owner\Documents\newbie.sql; the query seems to work ok but just before it shows me the successfully created table it outputs the following errors that seem to be related to how i entered the file name: ERROR: Unknown command '\U'. ERROR: Unknown command '\O'. ERROR: Unknown command '\D'. ERROR: Unknown command '\n'. Pardon the newbie error...whats the fix? Thanks! Try using forward slash / in place of
