That will fail if the query is broken into several lines. In any case I would suprise me if MySQL did not have the ability to do batch queries - e.i. with an interactive shell tell the shell to execute a certain file. -----Original Message----- From: Bobo Wieland To: Svensson, B.A.T.

Just a simple txtfile with all INESET queries... I think I know how to do this now, but have just one problem; thought of using this bit of code from the users comments from the mysql_query entry in the online documentation: $dbf_handle = fopen($db_file, "r"); $sql_query = fread($dbf_handle, filesize($db_file)); fclose($dbf_handle); foreach ( explode(";", "$sql_query") as $sql_line) { if ( $dbquery = mysql_query("$sql_line") ) { ... But what is the data contaions several ";" ? Any other suggestions than a simple string_replace? .bobo ----- Original Message ----- From: "Svensson, B.A.T.
