从Windows 7命令行运行mysql

Question

I want to run a brief mysql script from the windows 7 command line. The command line text I am using looks like:

C:\> C:\my path\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --init-file=C:\\mysql-script.txt  

The problem is that I am getting the following error message in the windows 7 command line:

C:\my is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file  

I have researched this online, but the solutions center around setting a new windows environmental variable. I do not think I should create an environmental variable called 'my'. So what else can I do in order to run mysqld-nt from the windows 7 command line?

It is important that MySQL not be running when I do this, so I need to call it from the windows 7 command line and not use the MySQL command line client.

Answer 1

You have a space between "my" and "path".

Try:

"C:\my path\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt" --init-file=C:\\mysql-script.txt

You need the quotes to wrap any directory structure containing a space.

Answer 2

The answer is right in the error:

C:\\my is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

What is C:\\my path ? Is that really your file system path?

If so, your command would be; note the quotes to keep "my path" together:

"C:\my path\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt" --init-file=C:\\mysql-script.txt

But more likely, my path should be the actual file system path on your Windows 7 install.
