OK, I've managed to do the same thing with just the mysql command line
program:
mysql -h 192.168.0.224 -u root -p alba2 < /Backup/Latest/
alba2_2009-03-10_00h45m.Tuesday.sql
Works great. However, the sql file is normally gzipped, so.... Can I
ungzip the file on the fly (and without removing the .gzip version)
and pipe the contents as I did above? (Yes, I'm UNIX-impaired.)
Something like:
mysql -h 192.168.0.224 -u root -p alba2 < gzip -dc /Backup/Latest/
alba2_2009-03-10_00h45m.Tuesday.sql.gz
But so that it works...
