My webhotel php configuration wants me to choose a SQL file that is going to be connected with the site that I have been working with locally, the problem is that I can’t select the whole SQL folder that is on computer, It wants me to only select one file… So is there another sql file that I have missed?
Best regards Leo
Hi Leo,
Local exports individual SQL files for each table. They can be found in the site’s app/sql
folder.
If you wish to combine them into one file, you can use the cat
command on your Mac or the type
comamnd on Windows in Cmd.exe.
Thx alot man!
I really appreciate your awesome support, could you explain a bit further what you mean with the type command on windows in the cmd.exe, a bit more about the procedure so to say.
Best regards Leo
No problem! See https://www.wikihow.com/Merge-Text-(.Txt)-Files-in-Command-Prompt
On step #1, navigate to the site’s app/sql
directory
On step #4, try this command instead of the one they provide:
for %f in (*.sql) do type "%f" >> concatenated.sql
Once you do that, you should see a file named concatenated.sql
in the site’s app/sql
directory. It should contain the contents of all of the other SQL files.
Make sure you run it in Cmd.exe instead of PowerShell.
