Runtime and IO redirection

[prabhurangan]

Hi Members,

I tried to execute "Runtime.getRun time.exec("mysq l -u username -ppassword databaseName < c:/data/backup.sql;"

But this command is not restoring my database, instead if i run the same comman d through command prompt it works fine. I have also gone through many document and discussion.

Please help me in this to fix this issue.

Hi, don't hijack another persons' thread; it is considered rude. I've split your post
from the other thread and put it in its own thread.

Runtime.exec() doesn't redirect input or output for you. If you want that you have
to fire up a shell (command line interpreter) and let it do its job.

kind regards,
