Hi,
I'm trying to call MySQL from Matlab in the same way you can call it from the DOS command line, i.e. (without the quotation marks)
"mysql -utestuser -ptestpass < query.txt > output.txt"
This syntax works in a DOS command prompt, but when I use the same command with the system() function in Matlab, so
system('mysql -utestuser -ptestpass < query.txt > output.txt')
I get "error 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'testuser'@'localhost' (using password: NO)".
It looks like the password isn't passed to the mysql command properly. I've tried a couple of different combinations of single and double quotation marks, but none seem to work. Do you know if it's possible to pass a MySQL command like this from Matlab and if so what the exact syntax should be?
I cannot get the ODBC driver installed on this machine, which is why I'm trying to do it in this way
Thanks!
Joe
