Well, there is no MySQL instance listening on localhost. Have you installed one correctly? And if so, have you entered it correctly?<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I am trying to create a batch file which executes a query on HeidiSQL.<br />
<br />
I created a text file containing the piece of SQL which updates a table in the database. The batch job (attached as test.txt) was then created and be scheduled to run on the first of every month.<br />
<br />
If I run test.txt &nbsp;I get an error which I have also attached as BATCHERROR.png.<br />
<br />
I am fairly new to HeidiSQL and batch jobs so spent most of my time on google trying to find a solution.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Hi,

I am trying to create a batch file which executes a query on HeidiSQL.

I created a text file containing the piece of SQL which updates a table in the database. The batch job (attached as test.txt) was then created and be scheduled to run on the first of every month.

If I run test.txt  I get an error which I have also attached as BATCHERROR.png.

I am fairly new to HeidiSQL and batch jobs so spent most of my time on google trying to find a solution.

Thanks
