Any beginning projects I can get in on?

wow! oracle thats great news. RDBMS is very important =).

Well, it's really silly really, it's like a loophole...

Has someone else got mysql installed in windows?

Anyway, here's a clue: You make a file...

Aw, c'mon, just post the code or whatever...

[oracle]

I'm in linux, but here's some psuedo code:

Code:

LINE INPUT 'sql? ', sql$
OPEN MYSQL_PATH$ + "mysql.txt" FOR OUTPUT AS #1
PRINT #1, sql$
CLOSE #1
SHELL MYSQL_PATH$ + "mysql -f mysql.txt"

:king:

(the code I wrote actually created a php file that was then executed by php.exe, but I realised that this was probably faster as I wrote it. I'm not sure on the windows flag to load an external file in for dumping, so I just put -f as for php.exe. This code doesn't do any connecting/authentication either, which my php code did).

But you see how it works now . I told you it was kinda lame and a loophole, but it does work...

[Zack]

Aw, c'mon...that's just shelling and taking advantage of the import/export from/to files of queries...

[TheBigBasicQ]

He did say it was a 'loop hole'

[Zack]

The smiley does mean Joke.

[TheBigBasicQ]

This smiley sucks! I love this one

[oracle]

OK, that's enough about the smilies

My method works though, that's all that matters. Pr'raps I'll make a lib out of it?

[Zack]

That'd be a worthy project IMHO.
