Notepad mysql

[wessexresins 0]

Hi,

i'm trying to produce a short .exe file in notepad (with icon on desktop) to start/login to mysql. From the cmd window i type in the following:

 

c:/mysql/bin/mysql -u root

 

to login as root user. i've tried simply entering this line into notepad and saving as an .exe file. doesn't work though - get an error message.

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks

Matt

If in Win2k/XP save it with the extention ".cmd"

If in Win9x/Me save it with the extention ".bat"

 

".exe" files are binary and are not text based.
