I have written some sql codes in a file named sql.sql and I want to install my database using this file. How can I do it? Please help me out....
here is the sql code from the file sql.sql
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS wm; USE wm; CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users( id int primary key auto_increment, username varchar(25) not null, password varchar, email varchar, fullname varchar );
You may execute multiple queries with the mysqli interface requires a call to mysqli_multi_query().
here is example
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root",""); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } // Create database if (mysql_query("CREATE DATABASE wm",$con)) { echo "Database created"; } else { echo "Error creating database: " . mysql_error(); } // Create table mysql_select_db("wm", $con); $sql = "CREATE TABLE Persons ( username varchar(25), password varchar(15), email varchar )"; // Execute query mysql_query($sql,$con); mysql_close($con); ?>
Here's another way, without changing anything in the sql file:
<?php // Name of the file $filename = '*****.sql'; // MySQL host $mysql_host = '*****'; // MySQL username $mysql_username = '*****'; // MySQL password $mysql_password = '*****'; // Database name $mysql_database = '*****'; ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Connect to MySQL server mysql_connect($mysql_host, $mysql_username, $mysql_password) or die('Error connecting to MySQL server: ' . mysql_error()); // Select database mysql_select_db($mysql_database) or die('Error selecting MySQL database: ' . mysql_error()); // Temporary variable, used to store current query $templine = ''; // Read in entire file $lines = file($filename); // Loop through each line foreach ($lines as $line_num => $line) { // Only continue if it's not a comment if (substr($line, 0, 2) != '--' && $line != '') { // Add this line to the current segment $templine .= $line; // If it has a semicolon at the end, it's the end of the query if (substr(trim($line), -1, 1) == ';') { // Perform the query mysql_query($templine) or print('Error performing query \'<b>' . $templine . '</b>\': ' . mysql_error() . '<br /><br />'); // Reset temp variable to empty $templine = ''; } } } ?>My 2ยข. Hope it helps.
Where is the .sql file located? Where should I place it? For example, I am using php in ubuntu. I place my files in /var/www/. Do I place my .sql file in the same folder?
Thank you.
