Currently I run an 'updater' script to run through a directory of .sql files using something like this in PHP: $COMMAND = "mysql ".$OPTION['db_prefix'].$db." < ".$mydir.$filename; system($COMMAND, $ret); What would be the equivallent way to to this in a PHP mysql_query(""); way? I see "LOAD", but that only works for data it seems. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/load-data.html These scripts I use have ALTER statements and CREATE and all other types of SQL in them and almost no data actually. mySQL 5.0.15 ÐÆ5ÏÐ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
