simple mysql problem

date posted 25th April 2001 13:45

I'm new to mysql, so this will probably be an easy one for you gurus.

I am renting linux space with a company called westhost, which so far have offered a good service. I have a php/mysql portal I wish to install on it. The scripts include the database file "nuke.sql" in an "sql" folder which I'm led to believe is a file that expands within the mysql database ( also called nuke) to produce the tables.

I can telnet into my account, and they've set up the database nuke. The command I've been using to try to make the nuke.sql expand into the nuke database is the following:

nuke < sql/nuke.sql

where "sql" is a folder to the root.

on return, this produces a new line, which I presume means the command is successful, however I'm still getting the

Table 'shopmob.stories' doesn't exist

message on load up of the index file

any help on this would be highly appreciated!!!

Regards
