How do you use MySQL's source command within another file - mysql

Im attempting to source a file 2019Dump.sql within another file solution2.sql.
Use a backup file 2019Dump.sql to load the pre 01 January 2020 contents of
relational tables LOCATED, SERVES and ORDERS into the database abc123.
I am running the solution2.sql through terminal using source solution2.sql.
when I run solution2.sql it is meant to source and run 2019Dump.sql.
I have tried 2 methods that (I have found and both error (42000)
source 2019Dump.sql;
mysql -u root -p abc123 < 2019Dump.sql;

How to create a file name using MySQL or batch file where part of the file contents need to be in the name?

OK, here is what I am trying to.
Using MySQL command line, I am running a script and then saving out the data like this:
mysql -h DATABASE -u yyyy -pxxxx < E:/Step_2.sql > E:/OUTPUT_YYYY_QQ.csv
Now, either using MySQL or a Windows batch command, I want the YYYY and QQ to be a specific value. It isn't the current date though. In this example, I want the YYYY to be 2017 and the QQ to be Q4.
I have flexibility to either:
Create a new table in SQL with the values in it if needed. Then with help run a command to use those values as part of the file name.
Or I can place a file on the server somewhere to "reference" in order to grab the data and place it in the file name.
Any thoughts?
Here I have created a shell script called "test.sh", which will generate the file name dynamically, but all you need to convert this shell script into windows batch. It's an idea to you as per your comment.
test.sh
file_name=$(mysql -N -hlocalhost -uvivek -pvivek -e "select concat('OUTPUT_',year(date_column),'_Q',quarter(date_column),'.csv') file_name from table_name")
mysql -hlocalhost -uvivek -pvivek </home/vivekanand/vivek/stack/test.sql >/home/vivekanand/vivek/stack/$file_name
After running the script, I got file created as below with correct output of SQL file "test.sql"
-rw-rw-r-- 1 vivekanand vivekanand 14535 May 7 13:56 OUTPUT_2017_Q4.csv

Windows batch file - connect to remote MySQL database save resulting text Output

I normally work with PHP/MySQL. A client wants to send variables from a .bat file - to a remote MySQL - where I will then manipulate them for display etc. I do not know how to connect and send these variables from a bat file in Windows.
I have small .bat file on windows, that simply writes a few variables to a text file.
#echo off
#echo Data: > test.txt
#echo VAR_1=777 >> test.txt
#echo VAR_2=245.67 >> test.txt
The result of the .bat file is a text file test.txt created with various details in it.
I would like the .bat file commands to also:
1) connect to a remote MySQL database
connect -> '8580922.hostedresource.com'
2) save to a basic table on a remote MySQL database:
INSERT INTO `My_Database`.`My_Table` (
`VAR_1` ,
`VAR_2` ,
)
VALUES (
'777',
'245.67'
);
Is this possible?
Is so - how?
I don't have MySQL Installed and I'm not familiar with it but here is a crack at something to try, based on info from the linked page.
REM This needs to be set to the right path
set bin=C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin
REM set the host name and db
SET DBHOST=8580922.hostedresource.com
SET DBNAME=MyDatabase
REM set the variables and the SQL
SET VAR_1=777
SET VAR_2=245.67
SET SQL="INSERT INTO `My_Database`.`My_Table` (`VAR_1`,`VAR_2`) VALUES ( '%VAR_1%',
'%VAR_2%');"
"%bin%/mysql" -e %SQL% --user=NAME_OF_USER --password=PASSWORD -h %DBHOST% %DBNAME%
PAUSE
Please try that and post back the resulting error message. There are many reasons that it won't work, but you need to try it to find out.
I'm not sure where test.txt comes into this but it would be a good idea export the whole SQL statement to a text file then use the correct MySQL command line switch to just run the file instead of generating the SQL inside the batch file.
There's a bit more here.

importing csv with LOAD CSV fails with QueryExecutionKernelException

I'm importing csv using
USING PERIODIC COMMIT
LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM "file:///root/rahul/Neo4jData/after_etl_data.csv" AS row
CREATE (:AFTER_ETL_DATA {user_tweet_id:row.user_tweet_id});
I'm getting the following error
QueryExecutionKernelException: Couldn't load the external resource at:
file:/root/rahul/Neo4jData/after_etl_data.csv
Things I have done
1) Changed the permission of files to
777
2) Chnaged the owner of the file
ie -rwxrwxrwx 1 neo4j adm 553942876 Sep 12 13:54 after_etl_data.csv
3) Added the line
dbms.security.allow_csv_import_from_file_urls=true
in /etc/neo4j/neo4j-server.properties
I'm using neo4j 2.2.5
I dont know how to solve this.
Note - However if I start my shell using
./neo4j-shell -path graph.db -config
/var/lib/neo4j/conf/neo4j.properties
I'm able to insert the data , but since it starts in local mode , I'm unable to view the data in Neo4j UI Interface.

DatabaseError: 1 (HY000): Can't create/write to file '2015-04-06 20:48:33.418000'.csv (Errcode: 13 - Permission denied)

I am designing an application in Python and trying to write to a CSV file, but I am getting this error:
DatabaseError: 1 (HY000): Can't create/write to file '2015-04-06 20:48:33.418000'.csv (Errcode: 13 - Permission denied)
The Code:
def generate_report(self):
conn=mysql.connector.connect(user='root',password='',host='localhost',database='mydatabase')
exe2 = conn.cursor()
exe2.execute("""SELECT tbl_site.Site_name, State_Code, Country_Code,Street_Address, instrum_start_date, instrum_end_date, Comment INTO OUTFILE %s FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' ESCAPED BY '\\\\' LINES TERMINATED BY '\\n'FROM tbl_site JOIN tbl_site_monit_invent ON site_id = tbl_Site_site_id """, (str(datetime.datetime.now()),))
I can run this code without any errors on a Mac, but I need it to work on Windows.
How can I resolve this error?
Simple really. A colon character is not a valid character in a filename on Windows. It's not allowed.
Reference: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
The colon character is in the list of "reserved characters", along with several others. (NOTE: One use of the colon character is as a separator for an Alternate Data Stream on NTFS. Ref: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2013/03/24/alternate-data-streams-in-ntfs.aspx
Followup
The question has been significantly edited since my previous answer was provided. Some notes:
I'm not very familiar with running MySQL on Windows OS. Most of my work with MySQL server is on Linux.
The SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE statement will cause the MySQL server to attempt to write a file on the server host.
The MySQL user (the user logged in to MySQL) must have the FILE privilege in order to use the SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE statement.
Also, the OS account that is running MySQL server must have OS permissions to write a file to the specified directory, and the file to be written must not already exist. Also, the filename must conform to the naming rules for filenames on OS filesystem.
Ref: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/select-into.html
For debugging this type of issue, I strongly recommend you echo out the actual SQL text that is going to be sent to the MySQL server. And then take that SQL text and run it from a different client, like the mysql command line client.
For debugging a privileges issues, you can use a much simpler statement. Test writing a file to a directory that is known to exist, that is known the mysql server has permissions to write files to, and with a filename that does not exist and that conforms to the rules for the OS and filesystem.
For example, on a normal Linux box, we could test with something like this:
mysql> SELECT 'bar' AS foo INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/mysql_foo.csv'
Before we run that, we can easily verify that the /tmp directory exists, that it is writable by the OS account that is running the mysql server, and that the filename conforms to the rules for the filesystem, and that the filename doesn't exist, e.g.
$ su - mysql
$ ls -l /tmp/mysql_foo.csv
$ echo "foo" >/tmp/mysql_foo.csv
$ cat /tmp/mysql_foo.csv
$ rm /tmp/mysql_foo.csv
$ ls -l /tmp/mysql_foo.csv
Once we get over that hurdle, we can move on to testing writing a file to a different directory, a file with a more more complex filename. Once we get that plumbing working, we can work on getting actual data, into a usable csv format.
The original question seems to indicate that the MySQL server is running on Windows OS, and it seems to indicate that the filename attempting to be written contains semicolon characters. Windows does not allow semicolon as part a filename.
It was simply permission error.

Local BLAST Swissprot Database error

I am trying to run the standalone ncbi-blast-2.2.28+ on my machine (Mac) but get this error message when running blastp with SwissProt database:
BLAST Database error: Could not find volume or alias file (nr.00) referenced in alias file (/Users/me/bin/db/swissprot.00).
Here what I did:
1) downloaded the "ncbi-blast-2.2.28+-universal-macosx.tar.gz" from ncbi server and decompressed it
2) move the bin content of the folder to my $PATH directory "/Users/me/bin"
3) In "/Users/me/bin" I created a "db" folder, plus the ".ncbirc" file containing the following path:
[BLAST]
BLASTDB=/Users/me/bin/db
4) I downloaded the SwissProt database and got the following files in "/Users/me/bin/db/:
swissprot.00.msk
swissprot.01.msk
swissprot.02.msk
swissprot.03.msk
swissprot.04.msk
swissprot.05.msk
swissprot.06.msk
swissprot.07.msk
swissprot.08.msk
swissprot.09.msk
swissprot.10.msk
swissprot.00.pal
swissprot.01.pal
swissprot.02.pal
swissprot.03.pal
swissprot.04.pal
swissprot.05.pal
swissprot.06.pal
swissprot.07.pal
swissprot.08.pal
swissprot.09.pal
swissprot.10.pal
swissprot.pal
Then when I run blastp from any working directory (where my query file is), using this command:
blastp -query input.fasta -db swissprot
I get the following error message:
BLAST Database error: Could not find volume or alias file (nr.00) referenced in alias file (/Users/me/bin/db/swissprot.00).
As I read on other threads, I also tried to mention in the command line the whole path where the db is located, and to remove the .pal extension from the file names. But still doesn't work.
Can someone sees what I did wrong ?!!!!
you are storing your database files in db folder so you have to give this command instead of the one you have used:
blastp -query input.fasta -db db/swissprot
and I believe you are looking for an output in the console itself as you haven't used the -out option.
Also this will work only if the bin directory in which db folder is present be declared as an environment variable.
Have you checked the paths in .pal file?
Swissprot database that you have downloaded contains only links to entries in nr database: "nr - Non-redundant GenBank CDS translations + PDB + SwissProt + PIR + PRF, excluding those in env_nr". So you should additionally download nr database to run the standalone blast on your machine with SwissProt database. It weighs about 20 (!) Gb, but without it your blast will not work. Here's a link: ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/db/
place all files from 00 to 10 folders into db and then check .pal file should contain 00 to 10 parts for example for nr databas its like
"nr.00" "nr.01" "nr.02" "nr.03" "nr.04" "nr.05" "nr.06" "nr.07" "nr.08" "nr.09" "nr.10"
