Problem Running a Script File

[Jeff Jeffries]

Hi All,

I am trying to run the following syntax on a Windows NT Box.

mysql -h host -u user -pPassword < Scriptfile


If this command is entered into a console window all is well (it works
fine).
This will also WORK if it is entered in a batch file and then run in the
batch file.

This command need needs to be scheduled and run unattended.
For security reasons I wanted to put the "mysql -h host -u user -pPassword"
part
of the command in a compiled file.
So I've written a small VB app to shell the command out.
It fails when the "< Scriptfile" portion is added to the command.

The above syntax will also fail to run from Windows "Run" box.

Fail, Fails = Can see the console window open and the help text scroll
through.

It appears, possibly to have to do with the "<" character ????

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
