1、source语法如下
Usage:
mysql>. | source
举例
mysql>. /usr/local/mysql/aa.sql
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
2、直接使用source filename或者. filename,怎么去实现?
        首先查看mysql基目录和数据目录:
mysql> show variables like 'basedir';
+---------------+------------------+
| Variable_name | Value            |
+---------------+------------------+
| basedir       | /usr/local/mysql |
+---------------+------------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
mysql> show variables like 'datadir';
+---------------+------------------+
| Variable_name | Value            |
+---------------+------------------+
| datadir       | /opt/mysql/data/ |
+---------------+------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
        把aa.sql文件分别放在该目录下:
mysql> . aa.sql
ERROR: 
Failed to open file 'aa.sql', error: 2
        查看当前登陆位置:  
mysql> system pwd;
/home
mysql> 
        把aa.sql文件放在home目录下,再次执行source指令:
mysql> . aa.sql
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

mysql> show tables;
+--------------------+
| Tables_in_iloveyou |
+--------------------+
| emp                |
+--------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
3、完整示例
[root@gflinux3 opt]# mkdir rgf
[root@gflinux3 opt]# cd rgf
[root@gflinux3 rgf]# cp /home/aa.sql .
[root@gflinux3 rgf]# pwd
/opt/rgf
[root@gflinux3 rgf]# mysql -uroot -p
Enter password:

4、注意事项
        (a)使用source时,文件最后使用;分号和不适用分号语法都正确
mysql> source aa.sql;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> drop table emp;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> source aa.sql
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
        (b)使用.时,语句结尾不能使用分号;
mysql> . aa.sql
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> drop table emp;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> . aa.sql;
ERROR: 
Failed to open file 'aa.sql;', error: 2
5、小结
source执行的当前目录即为启动mysql登陆时所处的位置。如果不想直接输入一大串目录执行sql文件,可以事先在指定位置创建好文件夹,在文件夹中创建脚本,并从文件夹位置登陆mysql。这也是一种处理问题的方法。另外还要注意source和.的语句结尾是否要带分号。有兴趣的伙伴可以试试。
