Bash script to insert values in MySQL
Assuming you have many rows to add, you probably need LOAD DATA INFILE
statement, not INSERT
. The source file has to be on the server, but it seems to be the case here.
Something like that:
#!/bin/bashmysql -uroot -ptest test << EOFLOAD DATA INFILE 'test.txt' INTO TABLE tbl_name FIELDS TERMINATED BY ' ';EOF
LOAD DATA INFILE
has many options as you will discover by reading the doc.
You are trying to insert the value "cat test.txt" as a String in the database in an INSERT statement that requires 3 parameters (IP,MAC and SERVER) so this is why you get this error message.
You need to read the text file first and extract the IP, MAC and Server values and then use these in the query that would look like this once filled :
#!/bin/bashecho "INSERT INTO test (IP,MAC,SERVER) VALUES ('10.16.54.29', '00:f8:e5:33:22:3f', 'marsara');" | mysql -uroot -ptest test;
