Error loading source dump file.

[toufiqalamau]

16:22:12 source load_departments.dump Error Code: 1064. You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'source load_departments.dump' at line 1 0.000 sec

Now I have this issue. Any guidance please? But of course, I am using the codes I have downloaded right from this source.

Please follow the instructions in README.md. If you do as it says, you will not find this problem.

I'm having the same issue, after following the instructions exactly.

What I did:

GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, RELOAD, REFERENCES, INDEX, ALTER, SHOW DATABASES, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES, EXECUTE, CREATE VIEW ON *.* TO 'testuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'testpassword';

mysql -utestuser -p < employees.sql

Can't reproduce the issue.

$ cd test_db

It is possible that your MySQL command is an alias or is a client from a different version.

Try this:

$ mysql --version
$ echo "select 1 as WORKING" > test.sql
$ echo "source test.sql" > test2.sql
$ mysql  < test2.sql

I hade the same problem on macOS, and solved it here, by running:

 mysql -u <user_name> -p -t < employees.sql

on the terminal.

I'm a total noob in database. How do I run "mysql < employees.sql" in the shell?

Thanks!! I just want to create this test database that's all.

Sql 8.0 does not require source

This is false. See the manual

The solution is to comment those few lines with the "source" commands and run it.

This is WRONG. Don't do that. Of course the command will run, but it won't load the data!

The problem that you have is that the command is executed without changing directory to the place where the files are. Run it manually:

$ cd employees
$ mysql [options] < employees.sql

I agree I was wrong. I am still unable to understand how do I change the directory manually. I am using mysql workbench on windows. Is there any way to configure it manually? I have deleted my comments to not misguide someone.

[datacharmer]

"Change the directory manually" means using the command line in a shell, as stated in my previous message. That's as far I can help you on Windows. For the use of MySQL Workbench, you should ask in another forum. I am a command line guy.
