How exactly do you run the scripts that come with the mysql installation. In particular I'm trying to run the mysql_install_db script. Whenever I try mysql < "mysql_install_db" I get errors. And with every other script I run in the /scripts/ directory I get similar errors.

The error with the mystl_install_db script is:

ERROR 1064 at line 10: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'IN_RPM=0 case "$1" in -IN-RPM) IN_RPM="1"' at line 1

Anyone have any idea how I can get this script to run? Im trying to set up the grant tables and I don't think I have access until I run this script. Thanks.

This issue is for mys...@lists.mysql.com.

You do not run mysql_install_db through mysql. You run it as a shell script,
which it is.

Sincerely,
